We've had a Wallas 1800 installed in our 25 for 5+ years now. It is mounted under the sink counter. Tight fit but works well there. I have noticed a kersosene smell occasionally on start up depending on the wind conditions. It has never been a problem for us. I have three duct outlets. One under...

Current weather conditions at Powell River are windy and lumpy. Currently a strong wind warning in effect. We are planning to launch around noon when its supposed to calm down and head south along Texada for an overnight on Jedidiah Island on the west side of Texada. I can see most of the way to...

Two coast guard auxiliary volunteers died on sunday when their rigid inflatable overturned in Skookumchuck narrows. Skookumchuck narrows is not far from Egmont, which is a common fuel stop for people travelling to Princess Louisa. You do not transit Skookumchuck on the way to PL but it is not...

And when you do move to Powell River in June look us up. We have the only C-Dory 25 in Powell River. We've lived here for just over a year now and are looking for a few more C-Brats to move to town or at least stop in on their cruises north. Cheers Ron

Well I don't have any pictures of the after. Here's one of the "during" photos. Shows just how much fun you have to look forward too.! :P

Localboy I used the whole 5 gallon pail on my 25. I think I put 4 coats on the v-berth and 3 in the cabin, I agree its a pita to mask and spray, but I believe you will experience a significant improvement in the amount of condensation on your cabin roof and in the v-berth. At least that's my...

Me too. I used a high quality acrylic latex paint. It matches the factory colour very closely. As I did the entire interior of the boat cabin I would bet no one can tell the difference from the factory paint. 4 years later it doesn't show any wear outside of normal. The Mascoat insulation...

Ah yes the cost of the BC Ferries. :amgry In Dec 2010 they changed the way they calculate vehicles over 20ft. If your vehicle/trailer combination is over 20ft they charge you $5.15 per foot for the entire combined length. Not, first for the vehicle and then $5.15 for the length of trailer...

This may not look exactly like a Tomcat, but it is a cat and its light! :lol: soarcat s there one that looks like a TomCat?

i almost bought one of these Silvertip Marine alarms when we travelled to Mexico and across the states in 09. I didn't, and thankfully we had no problems with theft of any kind with either the boat or the camper in a over a year of travel and over 43,000km towing Meander...

So Pat, where do you find those cold sunny winter days in the PNW? I sure don't find many of them up here! Maybe that imaginary line at the border is magic as well and creates more of those cold sunny days. :wink

So what part of our "spring" is much different from the current conditions. Its calm according to the marine report, the temp is pretty similar to some of our March temps and besides you have an enclosed cabin and heat. Don't let the month of the year stop you from going out for a day trip or an...

Road Runner Trailers http://www.roadrunnerltd.com/intro1.html makes a welded/galvanized trailer that has bunks at the back and rollers at the front. I've often admired them at the Vancouver boat show. I don't think I've seen them at the Seattle show. If my EZ Loader ever needs replacement I...

We added a permatrim to our 25 a few years ago. I can't really say it made a huge difference one way or another. I didn't do a real good job of documenting the performance before and after so this is just anecdotal. I think its a little better heading into the chop than it was with just the tabs...

Ah yes the Trent Severn. One of the most relaxing and entertaining boat trips around. We did the Trent Severn and the Rideau in the summer of 09. We launched at Smiths Falls, about the halfway point on the Rideau and went up to Ottawa and then retraced our path back down the canal to Kingston on...
