I can't say enough good things about Dave at King Canvas in Seattle. All the way from design, to build, to installation, to doing business with he was a champion for us. We did almost everything he recommended. We got the zip out clear panels with velcro attached privacy panels and extra zip in...

This is a screen shot of my Lowrance gen3-9 I know my card is expired. ( I will update it next year) Navionics says they think my screen is doing this because my ipad which is updated synced with the out of date plotter. Is this true in your opinion? Has anyone else experienced this? The weird...

Hi Everyone Even though I have a permatrim on my F90, my visibility off my Port bow is not that great. Mostly my wife is on the lookout on that side for me. I was just wondering if I travel by myself, would a go-pro camera clipped onto the port bow rail and live streaming onto an iPad work...

Hi Everyone I just installed a Lowrance Halo 20 on my boat. As I am trying to understand how it works, I read that it’s minimum range is 50m. (164’) In comparison the Garmin minimum range is 25m and the Raymarine is only 6m Does this mean on mine I will not see any boats or pilings closer to...

Hi Everyone I so badly wanted to list my boat for sale on this site when it was time to sell. All of you have helped me so much through this project. Your collective wisdom has answered so many of my questions along the way. With the border remaining closed for so long I ended up listing in the...

We were supposed to be on the boat in the Gulf Islands this weekend but my wife's dad just passed away so I am buffing the boat (Brutus) on my front lawn instead. Just a heads up to anyone wanting to get into the C-Dory world-- As soon as the border opens up I will be listing "Bad Boy Brutus"...

Why are all these good deals on the other side of the continent!

Its been a lot of work but it is so worth it! Although I could have done a patch a repair job on specific areas water had made in through bolt holes, I decided to go the full 9 yards and replace the entire transom right across. I just left a bit at the top where the balsa look brand new. I am...

Hi everyone I removed the trailer tie down eyebolt from my transom today. Around the bolt itself the balsa was powder but as I began to open it up with a nail it turned to chips. The cleanest chips in my hand were the last to come out. By that time I had 2" circular hole. The lower pic is...

Hi Everyone I have a chance to rent a cabin with a dock. The only thing is apparently when the tide goes out the boat will be sitting on a mixture of sand and small rock I had the idea to float a 2 by 6 under the transom and let it keep the boat up a bit to protect transducer and bottom from...

Hi Everyone Strange thing happened on the Fraser river yesterday with my flat bottom classic in about a 3 knot current ( I don't have trim tabs -- yet) We had just a slight list to port going down river with 4 people aboard. As soon as I turned around to face the current on my starboard bow...

Hi Everyone On my Christmas break I have been trying to sort out a VHF voltage drop. I am using a standard horizon 1700 about 3 yrs old. I had it on one boat with a 8' Galaxy Shakespeare -- it worked great. I moved it to another boat with a brand new 8 ft Classic Shakespeare (with a recently...

As I was rewiring my 1981 C Dory 22' today I was just wondering if my project boat is the oldest one out there still going strong? Apparently it was the 10th one ever made. I am the second owner. The first owner bought it right off the floor the first time C Dory's went to the Seattle boat show...

Last year I had to replace one of my trailer axles because water had gotten in and blew out the bearing after it rusted. Axle was beyond repair. That was a $2500 special with new brakes. Mechanic reinstalled same bearing buddies. I never understood this as the trailer was only 2 years old This...
