I did a generic check of what it would cost via Fed Ex to send a 45 lbs box from Seattle to North Carolina. Five day delivery was approximately $66.00. Any C-Brats familiar with typical shipping costs. Does this align with your experience? May be worth it at this cost.

The LT-2 is just the right size dinghy for a C-Dory. It only weights 37 lbs. which makes it possible for one person to place it over head. I used it on my C-Dory when I owned it. (Currently own a Ranger Tug.) I would love to sell to a C-Dory owner. 2004 Cost New $1,000 Excellent Shape -...

I am in the people business and I can't think of a better couple than Joe & Ruth. They are the kind of people who make the world a great place to live in. Ruthie is clearly the glue that holds this great couple together. Thanks for all that you do for all of us.

Pat, Little did I know that you bought your original brewing equipment from Mac & Jacks. I spent last Saturday with Jack at his brewery. We have mutual friends and he was generous enough to provide me with a great tour and helped with the makings of a Mac N Jack Brew Basket to auction off at...

Robbi, I saw you and tried to hail you on the radio. Thanks a million for the photo. I didn't see you on Saturday when the wind was blowing and Pat & Patty were snug in Crab Palace and all other smart boaters were on shore. Did you catch any fish? South Sound has been slow for fishing but...

Pat & Patty, Thanks for sharing the story of The Crab Palace. Birch Bay was one of my mother in laws favorite places when she was alive. I posted the following on the Tug Nut Site. It gives you a taste of what it was like to be out on the water. We only saw one sail boat and one American...

This can happen if there is an air bubble in the line. You should be able to inspect the line. A couple of starts will also work it through.

Steady Eddy - It may well have been Gratitude. We were headed from Des Moines to Elliott Bay. Great way for company to see Seattle Skyline. I have a friend with a 42 Dever. We are always comparing notes about what is the best boat to own. Believe me he has some real advantages over me in...

I wouldn't hesitate to give scan a call. I have called them from my cell phone while on the boat and they have successfully talked me through the necessary repairs. I have been duly impressed with their ability to do an accurate diagnosis over the phone. Furthermore I am no mechanical or...

It sure is good to hear from Scan Marine. This is the kind of customer service that caused me to buy a 2003 C-Dory and it is the reason I am a champion of Ranger Tug. I don't understand any business in today's climate who does not strive to take what I call the Nordstrom's approach to customer...

I had a similiar issue. Air bubble in the fuel supply line. I had to restart the stove about six times to reprime the pump. I also had to tighten the connection where the supply line enters the pump. I fear I will be cursed like Susan & Tom or Pat & Patti. I love my stove but would...

I have a Ranger 25 with the RayMarine S1000 and I really appreciate it. I use it constantly. It is a bit noisy and not always responsive to turning. I only use it with extreme caution when not at the helm. (I learned the hard way (mine is mounted on the door to the helm enclosure along with...

Mike & Bill, You guys may not have a clue how grateful we are for your hard work. The respect that I have witnessed over the years for the two of you ranks right at the top. You deserve every dime you receive and the honor that goes with it. You guys have always been a class act and it is...

Tom, Congrats. I owned a 22 Cruiser and moved to a Ranger 25 with the 110 Yanmar. I love it and so do the five women I live with. The creaturely comforts are hard to beat for a boat this size. Given today's fuel prices it is still reasonable to operate. You can't beat the support that...

I owned a 2003 King dual axle trailer and I know of what you speak. I am however 250 pounds and the fenders do give and the plastic deforms at the flex point. I have no faith in King Trailers. They absolutely refused to stand behind their lousy disc brakes for the same model year. A salesman...
