Dinghy w/motor tied to dock (not very well). Dinghy w/motor drifts under dock. Tide comes in with dinghy/motor under dock. Dinghy/motor found underwater at end of mooring line. There's more... Dinghy put on simpathetic next-door-neighbor's boat lift (not very well). Come down to dock with...

Doc thanks for the info! I rarely use a dinghy but need something besides a wooden paddle in case my one engine dies. Don't like carrying extra containers of gas and oil. Torqueedo could be the answer.

Dr. Bob, Would you consider starting a new thread if you have more to say about the Torqeedo? I've been interested in that motor for some time and would consider your review quite valuable. I'm sure others would as well. Hope to see you and Marie in the Keys soon.

Da Nag, how does the C-Brats website make money from the banner adds? Is it just having the adds appear that advertisers pay you for or does a user have to click on the add for our site to make money? Does using an add blocker prevent the website from making money? I can put up with the adds if...

Add Block Plus gets two thumbs up from me. To each his/her own but no banners and computer runs much faster. Thanks!

Indeed, no rant necessary. Thanks for the reminder. It's hard to put a price on this website. I consider it priceless. Thanks administrators and contributors!!! :thup :thup Bait for Tyboo! :D

Just found my next boat! A Skagit Orca 27 XLC...... D'oh, owned by C-Dory and not sure if it's made anymore. :shock:

I'd love to see a 28' designed by Toland before he heads for the last big anchorage in the sky that be setup for someone out of the gate to do the great loop and still be trailer able and be able to run circles around a Ranger Tug. D.D. There'd be at least 2 buyers -- you and me. :wink

I will take the minority position and side with Matt Gurnsey. There are plenty of intriguing new upgrades that could be made to the C-Dory without changing the mold. New helm seat :thup , coverings on the wires inside instead of zip ties, organized shelving under the sink, comfortable...

What did you look at?

I like this thread so I'll send it back to the top. This is a boat that gets me thinking. Of course, I spend way too much time checking out the C-Dory competition on the web and it always sends me back to "My Girl" (and that's the way it should be!). And this boat at almost twice the money...

Hey Dave, Thanks for the great photo album. Now for the important stuff.... Did ja catch anything? Did ya see anybody catch anything? Did ya have any clams or oysters? :thup :beer :beer :thup :D

Thanks for all the good info, Jim. I can tell you put a lot into the relationship but that trailer still deserves a little peck on the cheek. I doubt Joan will mind. Totally agree - the best accessory for the boat is a trailer.

Love boats! Hate trailers! Just about to leave for Penobscot Bay when I noticed one of the trailer wheels was cock-eyed. Sure enough, kicked the wheel and it was wobbly! :shock: :shock: :shock: I guess I should be glad I made it home from the last trip. Lug nuts so tight can't get them...

Very cool race video. Here's a tamer version of a jet boat for smallmouth bass fishing on shallow rocky rivers. It will only go about 50 mph. :shock: http://www.riverpro-boats.com/186LoProDCC I love boats.

16 year old son. The dog only tubes or drives the boat so I can go tubing. But how 'bout that Nordic Tug 26CR. Sometimes it seems like it might be a great retirement boat for me and the Admiral but I doubt it will ever happen. The up side being I've got a CD 25!!!

I want one too! http://www.boattest.com/Partners/Partne ... 874&p=3&s= That may be the best review of a boat I've ever read. Lots of photos. Detailed descriptions. I know our CD 25 is the boat for us now. Yesterday I took my son, his friend and our dog tubing. We even pulled one of them...

Well that's three to the good! 1) I like the Cruiseair 2) Your photos of generator setup are excellent 3) I only have to go as far as Georgia to cool off I'll look for you on the water I'm down your way regularly. Thanks :D

It's so hot in Virginia that I haven't been using the boat. It happens every summer. I need an air conditioner. What I don't need is a hot water heater (have never used it) or a refrigerator (too noisy and doesn't work as well as a cooler). Has anyone ever switched out one of these items for...

Two extremes, both work: Share a few beers and get over it. :beer :beer or Step 10: ...and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. :| I bet you feel better now. Apologies work like magic. Welcome back!!!
