Unfortunately my work plans have changed. I now have to work on Thurs. and Fri. I will be attending the show on Wen. I hope you guys have a good time! Bill

Hi Warren, I've made many trips to baja with and inflatable or renting pangas once we reached our location. I have yet to take Best Day south of the border. All of the advice received here so far is good advice. I think a C-Dory is better off cruising the Cortez side of Baja than the Pacific...

I can make Friday for sure and maybe Thursday. Bill

Starcrafttom, are you saying what I think you're saying? The future of C-Dory may look very different. Bill

Thanks for your advice guys, I will check the exhaust connections tomorrow and see if that helps. I bought a carbon monoxide detector and installed it in the boat. It registers zero even with the fuel smell in the cabin, so I doubt the exhaust is the problem. I think switching to diesel will...

I was also told at the SBS, by one of the guys at Scan Marine, that the best fuel to use in the Wallas is diesel. I told them that I had read here that Klean Heat was the best to use because it didn't soot up the Wallas. They stated that the Wallas will run on many different types of fuel but...

Dora~Jean, that sounds like a very nice mod. Could you post pictures so others may copy your idea? I'm especially interested in how you extended your seating. Thanks, Bill

This all seams like good advice. I've heard the argument that on a non self bailing deck you can't pump the water out fast enough. I say that it is better to be prepared than not. It's true that in a really bad situation (dead in the water with waves breaking over the stern) you can't pump...

It seams that with the extra weight you will be carrying you should try to install the largest trim tabs that will fit. I would say that 12x12 tabs should be your minimum and maybe you should look for some a little longer if anyone makes them. An extra 100 gallons of fuel in the cockpit is a...

Hi Guys, there are many different great restaurants around the Long Beach Convention Center. You can easily walk to the Pike and Pine Ave. which both have many restaurants. I can make it Friday or Sunday but work Thursday and Saturday. It would be great to get together for lunch or dinner...

I'll be there. It's always fun to check out the latest and greatest. Bill

I thought the new molded interior looked horrible. It's not the molded fiberglass that I don't like it's the design. You lose a lot of storage on the port side and access to that smaller storage space has been drastically reduced. It appears to me that C-Dory is making changes with production...

Check Thataways thread on his Tom Cat. He has a roof mounted AC that her runs off a Honda 2000. Bill

Hi all, I received this TV on Tuesday and I'm very pleased with it. It has a very nice picture. Not as nice as the $400-$500 19" LCD's but very nice. My only real complaint is that the speakers sound tinny. They're not real bad but they sound kind of like those $2.99 made in China mp3...

Hi Brent and Dixie, What kind (make) of TV mount is that? I could use one of those to mount my new TV. Also how do you like the performance of the SeaWatch 2025 antenna? Thanks, Bill

I gave this subject a great amount of thought when I was rigging my new boat. I have been rigging and customizing my boat to spend long trips in remote areas, such as Baja, San Clemente Island (60 miles off shore) and the Channel Islands. In my opinion if you want the most reliable and safe...

What kind of antennas are you guys using? Do I need a Hi Def antenna and then a regular antenna? Thanks Bill

Hi Bob, thanks for the reply. I'm not going to really watch the tv in direct sunlight but want it to look good during the day in the cabin. Right now we use a portable DVD player. During the day it looks pretty bad with the bright ambient light but at night it looks fine. I believe this is...

Hi all, wanted anyone who might be considering a tv for their boat to check out this special. It is a 19 inch LCD, widescreen that appears to run on 12V (the picture of the power cord shows that it convert 110 to 12V at 5 amps). All the specs look good and the price looks great. The only...

Looks like a really great trip! Bill
