    Camper Vans and Towing

    I hope it's ok to post this but I have an unusual 21' (B+) RV for sale that will easily haul any 22' or 25' boat. 84k miles. Excellent condition. Just pm or e-mail me at dene at ipns dot com. -Greg

    Loan interest rates

    You're probably right, Matt. In my case, I don't deduct the interest because it's expensed through my charter llc. Nonetheless, I'd rather pay 3% interest instead of a deductible 8% interest. -Greg

    Loan interest rates

    I used a credit card offer of a fixed 2.9% to finance $28000 for my Devlin. Payments are higher than normal but that's fine. It will be paid off in 4 years or less. It's not a bad way to go, especially since it gave me a clean title in case I need to sell the boat. Remember...you can write...

    Water pump problem

    In my Campion, I have a simple water system.....no hot water. Just flip the faucet knob and the water pump engages. It's always powered. The brand name of the pump is Togmaz or something like that (it's buried). Anyway...during the last freeze, I drained the water tank completely through...

    CD and speakers in Oregon

    If you're willing to use the free dock at Kalama for a day, I can recommend my sound guy. He owns a shop in Longview but lives in Kalama. Easy for him to come to the marina. He installed a nice CD player with an IPOD jack. I'm certain he would cost less than Rodgers. -Greg

    04/11 - 04/12 - Cathlamet, WA

    Though I don't own a C-Dory, I'd sure like to put some faces on the gang here. Would it be ok if I planned a brief visit but not take up a C-Dory owner's dock space? I'm thinking of a Coast Guard Aux. patrol with a lunch stop at Cathlamet. It's within my flotilla's area of responsibility...

    25' Boat Prices

    We recently took a long, hard look at the 26' Trophy...a brand new '07 alaskan bulkhead version with full electronics, blue hull, etc. We negotiated it to 48k and then decided to stand pat with what we have. The Nordic you mentioned is waaay overpriced. I asked the salesperson why the price...

    Advantages of C-Dory ?

    I don't own a C-Dory....yet....but do own and love pilothouse boats. The perspective I offer is that I went through three express cruiser boats, like the SeaRay, before we realized we hated living in a shoe with canvas all around. I'd take a 20 year old C-Dory over any new 25' express...

    What did you see at the boat show?

    We just got back from the show. Some impressions.... 1. Ranger 29. An expanded version of the Ranger 25. Larger doghouse, head, bed, etc. Very impressive....but is the extra 4 feet worth an extra 100k? 2. Nordic Tug 26. Three small rooms and lots of stairs. 30k more than the Ranger...

    What did you see at the boat show?

    Marty, there are folks who have wooden boats because they enjoy, no thats not the right word, more like fixate or are obsessive compulsive about maintaining them. And that is what they do, scrape, sand, paint and more, over and over, and over and over, and over and over again and again and...

    Hitchin' a ride

    The last weekend of March, we are in need of a tow on a suitable trailer. 30 miles from Brownsville to Belfair, one way. I'd cover your gas plus $100 for your time. The boat is my 27' Devlin, inboard. I suspect a trailer that handles a 25' boat could handle it. Thanks! -Greg

    Movies

    Both movies are terrific. My eyes were glued to the water on Gran Torino. In fact, I stayed for the credits just to watch and dream of boating there. -Greg

    TC 24 For sale in Ft Meyers FL

    Around 4k. I have a friend in Washington who can arrange for you. Very trustworthy. We shipped a Regal from Florida to Washington. Worked out well. We sold the boat for more than we bought it for. Do have it surveyed, especially for the "Florida" effect. There's a saying...."you can take...

    New President Today

    For the first time in many elections, we had two qualified candidates. Given the magnitude of our problems, it's probably better that the younger is in office. Hope is badly needed. Reality is the tricky part. American paid too much for houses, boats, etc. with borrowed money. Now is the...

    Batteries charging question

    Agree wholeheartedly! The previous owner to us took out the frig and installed shelves. My wife is very grateful for the galley storage. We've used a small cooler in combination with a 12v warmer/cooler. Never a problem, especially since we have an 1500W inverter powered by two golf cart...
