Y'all Make The Coleman Lantern Folks Seem Exciting

You are really good at posting visuals I am not, but google one of the several photographs of C-dorys jumping a big wave and getting air, that looks pretty exciting even for a dirt bike rider, maybe leave the wife home on that one though.....

If these boats are so tough

Why only a five year warranty?

My dog Buck, "The Wonder Dog" used always rode on the bow

Hit this big wake from a Yacht in Crystal River and he flew up,
the boat continued under him and he landed in the back seat

Used to ride on my truck toolbox and would look over the cab at the road to
determine which side to go to for the upcoming curve :D
 
Did after a bit of looking see that one

or one similar

Saw really cool thread of a 22 towing a Mauret or what ever they're called too

Marinaut (sp?) Like them but looked at one today

Advertised at about fifty grand

Then they started adding all the extras and don't even think that included the motor and trailer either
 
Really like to have a Nordic Tug that's here for sale locally

But NO, don't want to pay for slip or maintain a boat that's in the water all the time

HoJo's beyotching about me looking at this 22

Although I think this boat will fill a void between where we are

And where we were having always owned a place on the water

She wants to quit working and tells me daily

Of course, I closed up about two months after she went back to work

Seeing that I no longer had to pay for her overhead

I could quit,

Facebook tonight:

Pissed off, could be worse: Go into store for beer,
not one case of Busch has been bought but every dayum Busch light case is gone;
luckily there was one 18 pack left

Friend posted:

Drink something that tastes like beer, Stella, Corona, Sam, etc...ha!!!

My Response:

Stella is the absolute crapiest beer there is, even HoJo hates it

Now Corona, quit once for a month;
HoJo came down to Big Pine and literally threw a twelve pack at me and said "here, drink this"

...but wasn't worth a shit without a bit of key lime from the side yard.
I planted the tree in an Australian Pine stump that had gone bye-bye in Hurricane...David, I think

Was always up early and sitting under the house kickin' back,
the garbage guys would empty my cans and all those Corona bottles would tumble out.

They knew I was there and would volunteer to clean my cans for a beer.

It became a ritual and they were always welcome.

Perhaps you're looking at the wrong Nordic. :mrgreen:

We almost bought a Nordic tug at one point but the over 8'6" beam made for to many multi state wide load permit hassles. We ended up with a Ranger tug, a nice boat but to many maintenance problems and lack of diesel in some areas led us to the simple to use and maintain C-dory.

Depends on location, but point well taken. It can be a major PITA, or almost a non-issue. In WA, getting an oversize permit is relatively cheap and easy online.

Even if permits weren't an issue, I'd not tow a Nordic 26 significant distances. It's just no fun - it's a LOT of boat and trailer. Even with adequate tow vehicle, an excellent trailer and electric over hydraulic brakes - I find it nerve wracking. I just weighed the Nordic on the trailer, fully loaded for cruising - just over 12K. That's significantly more than a Tomcat, and way more than a CD25. And, even with my relatively short standard cab/8' bed - I'm still right about 60' long. With the trailer axles so far back, it's extremely difficult to maneuver unless you have tons of space.

The Nordic 26 is a great boat, and if one can live with the compromises between it and its larger water bound brethren - it's awesome it can be towed/stored out of the water. However, no way I'd suggest one to anyone wanting to trailer routinely and/or long distances. C-Dory clearly wins in that category.
 
Wow! That's some boat

And the fact that much of the area where we live is way too shallow also.

Most everyone here gathers at The Flats for a cocktail jkam.gif
 
Really hate working on tractors

Only one left and it's just a small lawn mower

Zerts won't take grease for the spindles

Had to go buy a 1/4" swivel socket due to mine's out at the camp

Now the grease fitting just seems to spin and won't come out baldy.gif
