I spotted a C-Dory off Yakobi...of course I was in it :-) http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30802432&l=725886c87e&id=1028632424 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30802430&l=94c94c2b91&id=1028632424

29,900 makes me wonder what the situation is behind the sale. Someone is going to get a very good deal.

Wow, that's cool. We have been thinking about doing something like this and hooking our sounder into the TV. Is that a custom job or something you ordered?

It's fairly common for folks up here wanting a larger screen to make it easier to see structure, bait, and target species. I do some personal use longline and crab fishing, so it would just be a luxury. It would also be nice to be able to have multiple screens without installing an additional...

I am less concerned about the notebook and more about the image being projected on a large screen. So, what I really would like to do is get a small flatscreen TV or monitor that is hooked up to the sonar. I was just curious if you knew of any units that allow this kind of interface. I could...

Thanks for the reply. I have thought about the notebook approach. Do you have a suggestion for a brand that is reasonably priced,does radar/sonar, and can be interfaced with a notebook?

Greetings, I am wondering if anyone has hooked up a sonar/GPS unit that is under 1500 bucks to a video input for a regular TV? It would be great if companies would provide a video output, but I guess that may cut into sales for units with larger screens.

Just curious, do the 255's "spit" when in chop greater than 3 feet? Our 24 sprays water all over the place in chop 4 feet or greater. The boat is great in seas <4 feet, but above that it's a slog.

Scientific study saying bleach works... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 153158.htm

Protein denaturation may occur with either an acid or base; however, natural proteins have a net negative charge. Thus, if brought below its isoelectric point it will loses its negative charge and falls apart (i.e., molecules start to repel each other). Proteins can also be destabilized with...

Vinegar works well. I am guessing the little guys don't like acid!

I bought a replacement window for my tomcat 24: it was about 800 bucks including shipping (100 bucks).

I don't want to Hijack this thread, but in brief, a crack occurred right along where the hull mold is joined to the top mold. There was no filler between the balsa core and the top mold, thus leaving unsupported glass on the transom. I am unsure why they did not fill it, but that was the case...

I figured my post would ruffle a few feathers, but I would hope this forum wouldn't castigate someone for describing an interaction with Fluid Marine Bob, I really appreciated your advice and as a result we were informed when bought the boat, so we knew the worst case situation was possible...

I recently had an interaction with the new company concerning a repair needed to my Tomcat 24. The Tomcat had a crack on the transom where the hull mold was connected to the cap, which was clearly a flaw in the manufacturing process. Needless to say, water had entered the transom and rotted out...

Thanks for the info on tilting the boat up. I thought about that and it is a good idea. I was concerned that it would be hard on the vessel to do tilt it in an "unnatural" way while in transport. Of course a 2X6 should not make much of difference. I tried to get a ferry reservation before the...

Thanks for the input. I was going to the job myself... besides since when do we start doing the "my time is worth" calculation when fussing with our boats. Haha, if I did that I would not even own a boat. However, this thought leads me to another boat owner thought... What's another 600 bucks...

I am hoping some folks can give me some advice. I am shipping my 24' Tomcat from bellingham to Juneau via the Alaska Ferry System. Unfortunately, they have a width fee break at 101" and my vessel is 103" wide. The extra cost is 500 bucks. If I took the rubrails off I would be at 100" , but...

not to hijack the thread, but I noticed Tom had an E-Tech on his boat. I have an E-tech on my Whaler. Basically the mechanic makes adjustments through the software, which is interesting because I have to bring it in for software updates. I should note that after three years (100 hours), the...

I use the scotty you posted in the photo. Overall it has been a good downrigger and seems to handle 12 pound leads in strong current well. The extendo handle is a nice feature. However, I have two complaints: 1) the depth dial needs to be adjusted back to 0 on a regular basis; and, 2) the cable...
