I'm planning on getting a new 75hp Yamaha 4stroke this weekend. There offering a new old stock 2003 for 6900 with install and accessories. Seems like a good $$. What do you guys think about the new 05. Is it worth the extra 1000.00 for the EFI. I hate carbs but really like the discounted...

Thats heavier than I expected. I would love to see what they look like underneath. Dogon..any chance? By the way in your signature you are using HTML code. Did you get the Admin here to turn it on for you? OR did they just give you the option to "attach files"?

Each section weighs about 35 pounds. No Problem at all lifting them out to clean or whatever. As for going 1/2" I would say the thicker the better. You may be able to go 1/2" if you use a hardwood ply like maple or birch, maybe marine plywood. I went cheap and got pine economy grade. I...

I believe it is 7/8" thick. It feels pretty solid and I weigh about 190. Yes there is some unsupported parts twords the gunnels but it is so close to the flooring that the thickness of the plywood compensates for it. I got the idea for the vinyl from some floorboards I saw for an aluminum...

It's just a 500 gph bilge pump. I forget the brand name. I bought it at Home Depot for about $26.00.

I didn't like the puddles that would pool up in the cockpit so I made some floorboards to raise it up about an 1.5". The puddles would get especially bad when it would rain. Also I added a "Puddle Sucker" on the bulk head. This should solve the problem completely. Now I can pump out water at...

(catdogcat) Another view of the finished product. Notice I added a puddle sucker/ 2nd bildge pump.

(catdogcat) Final product. Very similar to C-Dory product but WAY Cheaper.

(catdogcat) Glued vinyl on with 3M adhesive spray (77) then stapled the edges to the bottom using stainless staples. I'm still deciding whether to water treat the bottom or to fiberglass it. Will probobly do both.

(catdogcat) Got the idea for vinyl flooring from my friend that runs an upholstery shop. This is really stout stuff and has really good traction. Very waterproof.

(catdogcat) Rib support made from plastic siding from Home Depot.

(catdogcat) Cut out 7/8\" ply

Dogon: As for extra time on my hands I don't have a lot of it. Just the weekends and a lot of three day weekends during the summer. On 4th of July weekend I plan on taking a 4 day weekend. When you ask if I want to fish or sight see, I guess I want to do both but mostly fish I guess. As for...

Billy, can you tell me where you got the replacements?

There actually was a safety line, it just wasn't attached. This was the first time using the anchor since I've purchased the boat. Live and learn I guess. I will definitely be incorporating one into the next one. I was going to make it out of galvanized sheet metal but have decided to make...

I am planning on taking my first PWS trip next week. It would be cool to hook up with you Dogon.. Also I need someone to show me how to use my new downriggers. I plan on going on the 6th of next month. I would go this weekend but I'm making some new floorboards for the cockpit and fabbing up...

Just checked out your album. WOW great pictures! Some of the coolest I've seen here. I can't believe that you go swimming in that stuff. I think my next trip will be to PWS, next couple of weeks or so. If you ever want another C Dory partner for deer hunting please let me know. I would love...

After looking around a while I found the place that sells color matched gel coat kits for C dorys: http://www.spectrumcolor.com/

Went to throw my anchor out last weekend and noticed that the stainless cover that goes over the feed to the anchor locker was stuck on pretty good. Took out my Leatherman to pop it off and ended up popping it off right into the sea. Dangit!! :cry Thats a really funny feeling watching...

Cool pics!! I can't imagine driving both ways, must have made for a long trip. Great looking boat. I love the boat armor that you put on. I just had a sheen of ice to protect mine. It was ugly and brown but it did the job. Glad to hear you made it back with no mishaps..Man your lucky!
