The November issue of Yachtsman Magazine, covering SF Bay and the Delta, has this listed, with 130 hours on a Honda 150 for $45K. Doesn't seem possible ... but who knows. The number listed in the classifieds ad is (415) 332-0368. The online version of the magazine can be found at...

Probably not a better deal around for someone wanting to tow a C-Dory 25 while avoiding the price of new. 2007 Silverado. Just over 50000 miles. Duramax, LTZ, crew cab. Well loaded luxury vehicle; Bose, etc. As new ... serviced by the book. Babied. Book says about 28500. Wife says I...

I started to put this on the thread about getting the new boat home. Then I realized this is probably too long to be appropriate there – or perhaps anywhere on the site. But I can’t resist. Your misfortune is that I cannot think of a better audience for a story I have been dying to tell. The...

The current price of this immaculate boat does not give me much room to negotiate, but I can add a few items if we can get the right price for the boat. The items that could be added could include: * Honda 2000 -- like new, fewer than 10 hours * Delta 22# anchor * Breville toaster oven, very...

I'll probably stir the pot from time to time even though the boat is properly listed in the For-Sale section. Our new-to-us Camano is supposed to load on the truck today. But then again, it was supposed to load each of the past three days. I guess three fruitless 6 hour trips to load are part...

The time has come to reduce the asking price for our most excellent CD 25 from $75K to $69.5K. The boat is the one in the for sale section listed at $75K in Alameda, CA/IA. Much info is listed there, and pictures are in our album. As mentioned in that section, I am open to delivering the boat...

Green. Excellent condition. Epoxy bottom and bottom paint. Stored inside when not in water. * Honda 150, 190 hrs., well maintained on schedule by Wefings * 7500# Pacific trailer with tongue box, recent maintenance at factory * Raymarine electronics by Starmarine, C80, autopilot, DSM300, 2kw...

I will get around to posting this under FOR SALE with pictures and adding pictures to my photo album and listing on Craig's List, but we are still away from home and I do not have my camera's photo software on the laptop. So, for now, I'm going with this post, which I will bring back to the top...

Double post. Sorry. I'm a better plumber than computer use. Greg

Leaking shower fittings on the 25' seem to be an issue for many people, which is understandable given the mismatch between the British threads on the fixture and the NPT threads on the hose. I know others have done the research that verifies the British threads and I assume others have...

Even though I've been a C-Brat for a couple of years, I feel like I've never quite learned to fit in, so I find myself with some questions. If'n I'm just a simple good ol' boy can I slap a smile on and hijack another dealer's gathering? If'n I'm a good ol' boy can I leap at any opportunity...

Nancy and I are headed back to SFB late July/early August. Our plan is to spend some time on Flaming Gorge and Tahoe on the trip out. Any Flaming Gorge insights/comments/advice on anything from anchoring out/marinas/supplies/etc. will be appreciated and put to good use. Given our route, we...

North Pacific Yachts should have a trailerable -- true 8'6" -- 28' pilothouse cruiser this August -- at least in the event that the bad economy doesn't interfere somehow. Their website projects a boat in the water at a Seattle in-water show in September. An artist's rendering can be found at...

I never thought pumping sh*t could be so exciting. But solutions to problems are almost always exciting -- especially when they involve a new, high quality tool. So I was pretty excited yesterday when I was standing beside the boat on its trailer at an RV dump station working the handle on our...

I am getting ready to install Sony's marine stereo unit. Naturally, the wiring harness is much too short. The gauge of the power and ground wires appears to be fairly small. I'm hoping the collective C-Brat brain is the quick/easy way for me to identify the gauge I should use to extend the...

I thought of Peter -- the jazzmaniac -- while looking at Jessica Williams' upcoming concert schedule and thought there might be other jazz fans among the Washington C-Brats. If so count yourself lucky. If you love jazz, especially jazz piano, you are in for a treat. Jessica has a number of...

We just returned home after our first extended trip -- actually our first trip of any kind -- in the C-Dory. Between trailering and floating, we lived on the boat for over six weeks and enjoyed every moment. Our original destination was Key Largo with a detour to Apalachicola for service on the...

Well this is embarrassing. I hate it when I'm a dumb-ass. I was going to post this in "That's Life" in the thread it references, but I fear seeing the "Proud American" thread surface might spoil members' morning coffee, and besides, that forum is too private for my well-deserved public...

For those who were interested, the Tufted Topper (tuftedtopper.com) arrived today -- a little less than two weeks after I mailed the pattern. Obviously, the service is as prompt as promised. The topper is excellent quality. The materials and the workmanship produce a topper that seems equal...

I winterized the boat last week and wondered if I should be able to open the strainers for the cockpit washdown pump and the pump for the water system. Logic says I should. The appearance of a threaded cap says I should. But I can't. I'm twisting as hard as I dare at this point. Am I...
