    Just when Area 10 was open in March. Got one 7 lb keeper and released a few under sized. Looking forward to shrimping next month and then salmon starting in July through fall.

    Cracked! - Need a lower unit for Honda BF40 (1997)

    1) Put the lower unit on that is priced in the middle of the range. 2) Run it. 3) Keep on eye on newer used motors or... 4) When you sell the other 16, use some of the proceeds to purchase a brand new motor for the boat you are going to keep. That's what I would do and I over analyze...

    Cracked! - Need a lower unit for Honda BF40 (1997)

    Are you talking about the 16 you are keeping or selling? If it is the one you are selling, just fix it and send it down the road. If it's the one you are keeping then you'll have to think about your piece of mind. If it were me, I'd probably put the lower unit on it and run it. Then keep an...

    Cracked! - Need a lower unit for Honda BF40 (1997)

    All those things to maintain is a lot for sure. When I owned 2 boats, a cruiser and a fishing boat, travel trailer, 3 vehicles and the house, it was too much. We know have one boat, the 25 Cruiser, which serves both cruising and fishing. It sure has taken the pressure off. My suggestion...

    Cracked! - Need a lower unit for Honda BF40 (1997)

    IMHO I believe it is best to just purchase a lower unit, period. It will fit. Gear ratio is of no significance when your motor is 40/50 hp on a 16 C-Dory. I hope you don't take this wrong, not trying to offend, but try to avoid, at all costs, "Analysis Paralysis." It has bitten me in the...

    Good work on your part. I always enjoy reading about how others approach problems and then work through to a solution. As for uploading photos...you need to request a photo album from one of the C-Brats excellent owners and moderators: TyBoo At the top menu bar to the far right is "Help"...

    Seattle Boat Show 2024

    That's why most of us purchase good, used boats. Well, at least I do. I feel more satisfaction in finding a boat that is completely functional and then adding some new accessories to it. Even if we came into a bunch of money I don't think I could pull the trigger and purchase a new boat. I'm...

    Molded insert replacements for cockpit of 25"

    I wonder if the inserts you have are the same as what is installed in new 25 Cruisers? I would check with the factory. Here are couple possibilities: https://www.greatlakesskipper.com/boat- ... Bp=2%2F%2F https://www.tradeinn.com/waveinn/en/nuo ... lsrc=aw.ds

    22 Cruiser Enclosure Advice

    I agree with Bob. Might be easiest to buy a frame. Sailrite has excellent instructions and many videos on YouTube. Aluminum is totally workable and less expensive. You really only need to visit a couple local C-Dorys to get an idea what will work. Another direction is to call to see if local...

    22 Cruiser Enclosure Advice

    I agree that you can engineer a frame for you enclosure. All you need is a bare frame to fit your bimini or top canvas on. From there, you attach the sides and the back pieces and and see how close everything fits. If you look on page 1 of my photos, you see the side picture of the green 22...
