Yesterday we cleaned Placid C inside and out. We added a new anchor, chain and rode. The boat came with an 8 pound Danforth copy with 4 feet of chain and about 75 feet of rode. That was replaced with a Delta 14 pound Fast Set anchor, 20 feet of one fourth inch HT chain and 200 feet of one half...

It should be noted that this boat is an ANGLER. It's hard to tell from the photos. Harper

C-Wannabe, Thanks much for all the source material you have provided on this thread. Harper

Tom, The first couple of years I had my former 2002 Honda BF-90 I would run the engine "dry" before winter storage. Then to make sure, I opened the drain screws on the carbs and was surprised to find they still had fuel in them. Since then I just drain the carbs. Harper

I have a checking account at B of A as well as a credit card I hardly ever use. The checking account is not the one I use for normal everyday business and bill paying. For the past several months I have gotten probably 8 to 10 calls from different people saying they are with B of A and stating...

Herb, Jim's right again. We half-heartedly tried to sell our Lund last year in anticipation of buying a C-Dory. After we found Placid C in March the incentive got much stronger and we sold it in about six weeks. I've known Marc Grove for about three years and there's probably no better dealer...

snal, Lake James is one of our local water hangouts as is Watauga Lake just across the Tenn. line. We have a business interest in Spruce Pine but live 20 miles north in the most northern part of the County, right on the Tenn. line at 5,000 feet elevation. Hope to run into you eventually. Harper

Jim, You've got that right. When I retired from my life's main career several years ago I played (canoeing, camping and hiking) for a couple of years and began to feel somewhat useless. So I got involved with several civic functions and became a partner in a business. The time I spend with the...

Well, my 2002 Lund Alaskan 20 sold today. Had it listed on Boattrader.com for several weeks and had gotten a bunch of calls and emails but none of them turned out to be serious buyers. Today, a nice gent and his wife drove from Tenn., brought cash and took the boat home. I feel a little uneasy...

I'm with you on this Milehog, more likely too much Black Jack rather than ice. The Boston Whaler Nauset in the photo is just like my first power boat. For you youngsters the Nauset was the mother of the Montauk. In the late 70's I found it sitting engineless in the back of some company's...

Pat, Your posts about the play have brought back a flood of good memories. I was in that play when I was 18 many years ago, although I can't recall the name of the character I played. I think it was the bad guy (that would have been in character I guess). Had almost forgotten that very neat...

Thanks Pat, I had never heard the story. Harper

My 2006 CD 22 Cruiser had a Garmin 178C chartplotter and sonar when I purchased it. It came with one media card which is a very small card with a "handle" on the end (not the mini SD card). I want to have coverage of some parts of the ICW and some lakes and rivers. According to the Garmin...

Of course Bob and Nancy, I'll eventually learn how to post photos better. I wasn't able to post photos from my computer unless they were already in the album. Harper

Here we go...little better. Harper

Here's one in the southeast. Not many landmarks but I am aware several C-Brats are familiar with this area. On Edit: Don't know why I can't make this photo bigger...sorry.
