Common dilemma… “well, while you got the hood up”… I get myself rolling with things that have to be done before the actual thing can be… in sequence! After seeing how you accessed that PITA steering connection, I have no doubt you’ll take care of business. The time frame is out of our hands...

Hi Folks Have been thinking of the Tennessee trip. Are y’all still departing tomorrow? We’ve been “camping” at our daughter’s apartment since last week following her successful spinal fusion surgery. Liz and I are Team Simone for the next few weeks as we were told that the recovery is months...

Hi gang, So sorry to hear of your tribulations, but relieved that it wasn’t as catastrophic as it might have been. I realized that I’ve been updating my situation on a direct messaging thread with Colby… For the rest of us here are my last posts: September 24th Hi gang, Tennessee trip update...

Hi Colby & Roseanne, Thanks for getting back. Looks like a nice group. I like the idea of being flexible with our pace. Since we’re all contained within the riverbanks, regrouping shouldn’t be difficult… how can we miss each other? I think most of us share the parsimonious approach (we like to...

Hi Colby, Trying to finalize plans… we are dealing with a our daughter’s health. She re-injured her back and a needs to undergo a third surgery with a multi-month long recovery. Liz and I are happy to care for her. We don’t know the schedule yet but I am still planning to make this trip. (Just...

I spoke with Rick Smith and he’s liking the mid October timeframe. Count me in for at least Guntersville back to Chattanooga if not the round trip. That makes three “Smiths” so far… looking forward to this for quite a while. Thanks for offering the benefit of your experience.

Thanks to Jeff (C-Play) for leading me to this thread. Sounds perfect. The upper part from Chattanooga through Knoxville should be colorful and cooler at that time. I would love to tag along. Was thinking about linking up with Tom & Joyce from Pickwick to Chattanooga but it’s set for mid...

That was supposed to be Harrison Bay State Park upriver from Chattanooga

Hey fellow Brats, Hope your summer has been going OK. We’re still pretty much on “Thermal Lockdown” here. Didn’t get to go North as planned. But I followed Tom and Joyce’s Superior adventure. They just got back and were thinking mid September possibly on the Tennessee. I’ve heard from Rick &...

that would be my Hontoon neighbor… Veloce. A lovely couple. Vintage motorcycle enthusiasts. Hoping their health keeps improving. I lucked into the Punta Gorda prototype production run… It was (is) practically pristine. Have been restoring and modifying since then (have been struggling with...

Love De Tour Village. Good vibe.. great Marina-reasonable… nicest people.

… and a good time was had by all

Well it’s Mardi Gras here for the young folks. I’m installing a rooftop heat pump.. Only a couple weeks to finish my projects… and (shameless plug) only a few weeks left for free shipping (to Hontoon) for the remaining items from the 25. So far the Bimini enclosure and all the cushions are...

The radar sounds great… anything solid and centered. I can’t find the pics of that detail. The bolt holds the tension of the side ropes, so I don’t think snaps would hold… it’s pretty strong to weather conditions. The hole is through the cabin side but not all the way through the outer roof drip...

Tom & Joyce suggested I sign up for the name tag. Thanks See y’all soon Dale Smith - Marinaut Note on the “salvage sale” they claimed all the cushions. Happy to see them being useful again. https://www.c-brats.com/threads/cd-25-cruiser-endeavor-salvage-sale.33148/
