I am thinking about putting new Suzuki’s , twin fifty’s . Any thought on the matter? The 40 Honda’s I have now do about 20 mph. I know it is silly to put new engines on an old boat. A new Wallas stove as well. The new boats equipped run about $100,000. To rich for my blood. I will be posting...

Anyone go through the process? I have decide to go for it and not quite sure what is involved. I made a post on Tugnuts. No comments at this point. I know we have quite a few Licenced captains on this site. My understanding is that you must get a Twic card before you can renew or get new...

Out of curiosity, Has anyone ever heard of a C-Dory going down in any kind of weather? Or losing a life while running a CD? We had our 2000 22 Ft Hunky Dory in some pretty rough weather out of the Prince of Wales area, The Gulf Stream to the Bahamas. The worst ride was in protected shallow...

Sitting in the Hospital in Gainesville looking out the window I seen the flash of a boat through the trees. I told Dee,"look a C-Dory" It was the bright spot of my day. I wonder if they are C-Brats............................. Are you out there somewhere? captd

Any Brats Interested, for the 1st part of April, in a trip to the islands? The Lucky Finn is ready to go. We will depart from Palm Beach after hanging out around Peanut island for a good weather window. We will plan on about 60 days. :D captd

Today, Wed, October 22, 2008. We go for our 1st ride on the Lucky Fin. We came into the Ranger factory on the 20th. Marc, from Wefing Marine flew in that day as well. He spent his 1st day at the C-Dory factory. The second day Marc and Doug ( his right hand man ) spent the day on the Lucky Fin...

I have been searching high and low for a Tv/dvd. 12 volt or 110 run with an inverter. The one I had on the Mis Dee was great, but now obsolete. One of the R25 owners has a nice 110 volt with a mount, I would sure like to find. Looks like stainless. If anyone knows the make or source for either...

What is a guy to do? I just found out the Power Acoustik Tv dvd player I had on the Mis Dee is no longer available. I guess because it was not digital. Feb it is going to wipe out the old stuff. ... right? Henrym on the Little Toot... What kind of tv did you install? The mount really looks...

The hatches on the overhead, above the helm or any of the five hatches can be rotated to scoop air from any direction. On the Mis Dee I changed the openings to the bow which allows for a lot more air movement when underway. I left the port and starboard hatches to scoop air from the sides. All...

Tug thugs, Anyone have any of these kind of batteries? They look like the answer to all my prayers and dreams. They are big and expensive , like $529.99 for one. I need two at $1060,00 plus $85.00 times two for freight. Eight year minimum life expectancy. You can put as much charge power into...

How come Ranger Tug people don't have photo albums. :sad I would sure like to see what you have done to the inside and outside of your boats. One of the big pluses of this site is to share ideas. The C-Dorys are well documented. but info on the Ranger is in short supply. How many different...

Hi brats, After an 11 day wait at Peanut Island, in Palm Beach, Noaa says Sea's will be 2 ft or less Sunday night. Winds from the South. We thought if we get a jump on starting across, it would just get better. Well we were wrong. 3 to 4's to start at 11:00 Am. Got worse instead of better. 4 to...

Leaving this morning for Palm Beach. Bud, My old fishing buddy, for many years,is going with me. No dog to take ashore. Looks like a good weather window is coming up about Friday. Hope to stay about 6 weeks. Can only post on this site in a couple of places in the Abacos, but will keep you all...

Think about this: At Glen Cove Springs we were told by other boaters that a man and wife had died in their boat while being rafted up with a number of other boats. Several boats were running their generators. The exhaust was traveling between the boats and a light breeze moved it forward and...

Are any of you newer Tom Cat owners interested in a Loaded Ranger with the bugs worked out? Being as my wife has fessed up about not liking to spend time on a boat. I am going to change to a cat which would be better for fishing. The Ranger is a good boat to spend a few weeks on but not to go...

:sad Mrs Dee just don't like boating. While salt runs through my veins. I thought if she has all the creature comforts, without huge expenses, she might be happy, but alass it has not happened. Going to the Bahamas with a friend and leaving her with her friend is now the option. Not even an...

Could some of you Ranger guys, tell this site is what is happening with your boat, where you are using it. Any up grades or ideas that you have done, or are going to do. This site will die if we don't promote it. The C-Dory guys post more on this site than Ranger guys. :cry With the R-21 and...
