Thanks Charlie and Pat! Yep, we will not be boatless. If the Admiral changes her mind (or I lose my job!), I'll yank this off the for sale page in a heartbeat! Forgot to include the Wallas in my list of features. That is a great unit that makes winter boating a pleasure. I'll edit it now...

Great spot Jim! Enjoy!

Thanks Digger for the quick response. Will do and will let you know.

10/19 Update: We're going to hold onto the Otter for at least another year! Thanks for your interest. The Admiral and CFO has given the all-clear for a TomCat next year, and I anticipate putting the beloved Otter up for open sale in the spring. If, however, there is a C-Brat in this area or...

Seeking some advice from the great minds on this site. For the past 539 hours on my Honda 90 outboard, the tachometer readings have been entirely consistent, including last weekend. Yesterday, I went out and the tach seems to be reading about 2,000 rpms too high all of a sudden. I've seen...

Very cool! Suggest it go on C-Dory home page with the line: "C-Dory: $XX,XXX Close encounter with Orcas: Priceless." Thanks for sharing it with us Dave!

Good bump Eric! This is truly one of the great reads in the C-Brats archives. Where are you now, Jim?

Great stuff, El and Bill. Can't wait to show it to Grace and Claire. All the best,

Am afraid I don't know what works, but I sure know what doesn't work: how many times have you seen those fake owls at marinas with seagulls happily perched near or even on them? Maybe a real owl....:-) Good luck, and let us know if you break the code on this one. (Better yet, keep it to...

I loved reading this book, the Outboard Boater's Handbook: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/007023 ... 4?n=283155 when I was looking around and thinking about getting a boat bigger than a kayak. (I believe one of our C-Brats actually contributed an article to this book.) It conveys a spirit...

AFineRide - You might enjoy David Pascoe's thoughtful articles here: http://www.yachtsurvey.com/buyingaboat.htm See also his sister site, Dockside Reports (the yacht survey site has a link to it). He is a Florida-based surveyor and I found his writings on various hull designs, manufacturer...

We non-Cat owners also enjoy this thread! Fred, Hope you and Deb are well. Re your boat's name: Debutante. :-)

Butch, Take her out on the 22 first. The 25 will seem fine after that! It's all a matter of perspective! Good luck,

Best wishes and Happy Birthday, Mike! Here's to many happy returns. All the best,

Bob, You are a great addition to the C-Brat community! Thank you for sharing your considerable experience and expertise with the rest of us! Best wishes,

Saw what I thought was a new TomCat 25 on the upper Potomac, just south of 14th Street bridge at about 7:30 PM on Sunday. Who goes there? Do we have a TomCat 25 nearby? Can I come aboard and drool a little if I bring a napkin? Cheers,

Those are some nice welds RF!

I love those Keens for summer-wear, but Chota mukluks are my fave for the cold seasons, especially when beaching the boat and hiking around. http://www.chotaoutdoorgear.com/CyberMerchant/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=34 Happy 4th!

Wish we could join you! Kathy and I had a very rustic honeymoon on Moosehead Lake 11 years ago. Beautiful country. Have a great time!

Congratulations and Welcome Ben. I know your boat and am sure you will love it. I'll chime in here with what's likely a minority view: we keep our 22-ft cruiser on its trailer at Belle Haven Marina in Alexandria, and I prefer it to having a wet slip. The engine hour meter says 540, and I...
