    Dingy for Sale

    In my original post forgot to mention that we have a good foot pump and oars that go with the boat. I'm lowering the price to $900 which is the price I set when I listed it on Ebay. We have had our Cape Cruiser since March of this year and we've decided we really don't have any need for the...

    We have a 2006 King trailer with Tie Down Engineering disc brakes on both axles. I am hoping to convert from a surge brake system to an Electric over Hydraulic sytem. I prefer the Carlisle Hydra Star unit. I talked with the tech rep at Tie Down Engineering today and he informed me that...

    All of the posts on this thread refer to the 16', 19', 22' and 25 foot C-Dory's. Do any owners of the 23 or 26' C-dory Ventures, or Cape Cruisers have the Permatrims on their boats? Gary

    Wallas Redux

    Yesterday I called Scan Marine about their instructions for using 100% mineral spirits. Told them the unit was 6 years old but had never been fired up, they said it probably wouldn't after sitting so long. I asked about their instruction to use 100% mineral spirits and was told that was old...

    Wallas Redux

    We recently purchased a 2006 23' Cape Cruiser which has the Wallas 800 cooker. The Wallas had never been fired up prior to our purchase. I have been following the C-Brat site for quite a long time and from what I've read, Kleen Heat seemed to be the most recommended fuel. Since I didn'd want...

    Deck core moisture and rot

    This thread about changing out hatch covers is really great. From what I can tell, most everyone who has changed out the covers is the owner of a 22 cruiser. I have a 2006 23' Cape Cruiser and am having the same water leakage problem with my hatch covers. Have any owners of the 23' Cape...

    Thisaway

    Dr. Bob, I sure like the looks of the handrails you installed on your boat. Who is the manufacturer and where did you purchase them? Do they have the studs or the capured nuts? Thanks,

    Generac generator

    Previously I stated that I would buy the Honda generator in lieu of the Generac. I have done a little more looking and found the Yamaha EF2000 iS and the spefications are almost identical to the Honda with the exception of weight and physical size. The Yamaha is a little lighter and smaller...

    Generac generator

    I have been considering the purchase of a Honda 2000i generator. Today, I saw a Generac 2000 series generator which appears to be similar in specifiactions to the Honda at several hundred $$$$ less. Does anyone out there have any experience with the Generac? Thanks GAO

    Road debris protection while towing

    During the 11 years we owned our Alumaweld, we probably towed it in excess of 60,000 miles. All in the lower 48 except for one trip to Canada. When we sold it this past summer, it had what I called a small amount of "road rash" on the bow. Most of that came from about 40 miles of driving...

    Road debris protection while towing

    Thanks for all the responses to my question. I got a price for the Montana Rock guard system this morning of $650.00 +- plus freight of $69.00. Add in the cost of the mesh "MudFlap" for the tow vehicle and a $1,000 disappears pretty quickly. Since I don't need the tow protection for awhile...
