Chester, I would guess that your boat was originally rigged by Sportcraft Marine in Portland, Or. My 2002 C-Dory 22 had the same wedges and it came from Sportcraft. You could argue whether or not they are necessary but from a practical standpoint the boat could still be trimmed in exactly the...

I have had two blowouts on single axle boat trailers. I tow with a 1 ton dually and almost always have my 9 foot slide-in camper loaded. The first tire failure was on a 19' Arima and then several years later on my 22' C-Dory. In both cases it was a real non-issue. I can see very little of...

CAVU has been sold. I accepted a deposit this afternoon from Kars10.

Thanks B-C, No health issues. The wife hates fishing and barely tolerated limited cruising. The last few years we have been doing a lot more RV travel and I have developed a keen interest in birding and bird photography. This has resulted in multi-month trips to Arizona, Texas, and Florida...

Thanks Potter Water-I used to join in on the single axle vs tandem discussions-kind of like the single vs twin engine threads. They have both been beat to death but suffice it to say I don't consider it a downer.

I took the camper off of the truck while we were there. The marina is only a mile or maybe less from the campground. In fact everything in the town is less than two miles from the campground. Check my photo album for shots of the marina and launch ramp. I have other plans for the summer and...

Dan. We did use them for some of our fish. Unless the Canadian export rules have changed, you have to be very careful when you package your catch. You have to package so that your catch can be identified as to species and size. Since I had taken my own freezer, I wanted to bring my fish home...

Dan, I did that trip in 2009 and you can find the thread by searching the fishing forum. I have no more recent info since then. It was a wonderful trip and we were lucky that the campground owner found one of the locals who was willing to rent us his private dockspace for our entire trip. It...

Warren, I have a lot of experience with towing a 22 while carrying a camper. Although my truck has an 8 foot bed I carry a 9' 4" Lance camper which requires a 26" extension. I have the Reese "Titan V" hitch which takes a 2.5 inch receiver. Reese sells an extension bar. I had mine set up by...

ferret30, When I was installing a battery switch in the lazarette I glued a small piece of 1/2 in plywood to the side of the compartment with 5200. This gave me a solid surface on which to mount the switch. Since I knew the thickness of the plywood it made drilling holes and selecting screw...

Steve, I guess I would qualify as an "old aviator." My first assignment out of pilot training was to C-130s in 1968. I was stationed in Okinawa but did all my flying in SE Asia. We had the A models, most were 56 and 57 tail numbers, some of the first ones delivered. It is amazing that the...

On my boat the area affected was very small. I just drilled out 1/2in holes centered on each screw hole and that revealed dry balsa in every hole. I then filled each hole with thickened epoxy. I made three approximately 1" x 1" wooden strips which I epoxy coated to seal them. I epoxied these...

I think everyone with a 22' around your time frame has had issues with the fuel tank mounting system. There have been several different fixes over the years. I eventually epoxied wooden strips under the tanks and used the wooden strips to hold the anchor screws for the tank hold-down fittings...

I have launched my boat with truck and camper at Powell. Never felt any concern about tipping over. I also have a dually with 10' camper. I was there in Sep of 2008 and 2009. Has the ramp angle changed this year?
