Some pretty impressive "Avalanche Pics" on the Richardson Hwy,leading into Valdez, Alaska and Prince William Sound. Highway is closed indefinitely from 12 mile to about 60 miles out of Valdez. Keystone Canyon is spectacular. Pics can be accessed by going to The Anchorage newspaper at "...

If you have an Ace Line Hauler (Brutus) pot puller you might want to check out the " Hands Free" accessory for it. url is " handsfreeprawnpuller.com " to check out information on it as well as a video. I'm not shilling for it, but simply ran across it and thought it looked like it might be...

Does anyone have the schematic/dimensions for TyBoo's stainless kicker bracket. I was sure he posted it on the site at one point, but I'm unable to locate it. This goes back a few years, but it's a great design and I'd like to replicate it for a 16' CD. Thanks.

I want to give a huge "Thanks" to the C-Dory Family for a lot of very enjoyable years. It's been a pleasure and a privilege to be in such company. We have just put 3rd Byte up for sale, but we will continue to follow the C-Brat adventures. Boat on......and enjoy!

I finally found some pics of C-Dory's 16' rowing skiff and posted a few on 3rd Byte's album (page 4). Marc Toland tacked on the "Yukon" name to the skiff, but most all of their literature referred to it simply as "16' Rowing Skiff". Not sure how long they actually made these, but it was a...

I got tired of my 22 CD shifting laterally while trailering. The side guides are OK for loading, but they leave a lot to be desired due to their constant vibrating on the road, which requires separation from contact with the gelcoats. Tie downs help, but I have found nothing that will...

We're in the middle of a protracted cold spell. Temperature in Fairbanks as we speak is -51 degrees F. Even Joe (Sea Wolf) would have to swap out his sneakers and cut offs for long johns. Seattle in January has to be a step up weather wise, even if it's nasty. See ya all at the SBS.

THE SEATTLE BOAT SHOW DATES FOR 2007 ARE JANUARY 26th THRU FEBRUARY 4th. I know it's may be a little early to start thinking about this but I like to plan ahead, especially on this event. Big question is which weekend will the C-Brat gathering and the C-Dory factory event be on. Typically...

I have a Raymarine Auto Pilot (S1) on my 2004 CD Cruiser along with the C80 super system. There has been a problem with the display showing 3rd Byte going in a variety of directions other than the correct one. This problem seems to have gotten progressively worse with time. It got...

Among other projects, I finished installing a pair of the new 25gal capacity tanks from C-Dory. In resolving the cleat situation, I drilled out the old cleat screwholes so I was dealing with clean material, filled the holes with epoxy and gel coated to finish them off. I then put a seal coat...

There has been some conversation about the Lenco 9x12 tabs not having the efficiency of the 9x12 Bennett or Trimmasters. I concur with this, after having Trimmasters on 2nd Byte and Lencos on my current 22' CD, 3rd Byte. I had a senior moment, yeah , another one, and came up with a possible...

I have had a problem with my Trollmaster dropping from run to idle when I key the VHF radio and when I honk the horn on 3rd Byte. I talked to the top gun at Trollmaster and this is what I found out. The proximity of the VHF antenna will cause that problem and it occurs frequently when keying...

Yep, Les has another one in the oven. I sold the original 2nd Byte so Les is rigging out a new 22 C-Dory Cruiser which should be ready for dipping in late May or early June, at which time I will hook her up and bring her back up the Alaska highway to Fairbanks. Here is what the final ( Ha!, it...
