Martin, Thanks for the reply. I just PM'd you about Friday Harbor. Unfortunately, can't go. :sad I'll check my Dreamspeaker book about the buoys. Cheers, Tom

Martin, Do you have a list of the mooring bouys around the north island, especially in our area? Where would we find out where they are? Cheers, Tom :beer

Art, Please don't go to any trouble to find and deploy your mooring/travel cover. I see the snap pattern at the stern in your pics and I think I can figure it out. I just thought if someone had pics, already taken, I could see them. Really, a good canvas maker should be able to figure it...

Thanks for the photos Harvey and Kevin. I still would like to see how a mooring cover fits on the CD25, since that is the boat we have. The 25 has a railing that wraps around at the back and seats built into the sides of the splashwell......much diffferent than the 22 at the back. Still, all of...

Welcome to the C-Dory world and the C-Brats. From your Brat neighbour in Campbell River. We will see you out there sometime. Don't let a little thing like winter prevent you from enjoying your boat. Cheers, :beer Tom

To clarify my needs........I am wanting to get a mooring cover for the cockpit made, not a camper back. Tom

Thanks all for the replies. Maybe I am just not familiar with the term but I don't know what a awning rail / bolt rope is. Is it the ropelike end of the canvas that slides into a tube that has been split open from end to end? Still would like to see how the sloping canvas wraps around the back...

I would like to have a sloped canvas cover made for the cockpit of our CD25. If anyone has this setup, I would like to see photos. Especially of how it fits around the rails and splashwell at the stern. If I had photos, I could take them to the canvas maker and give him an idea. Just looking at...

Like Chuck, I too owned a 1994 Bayliner Trophy 20' walkaround and it was not a bad boat. Very specific design for fishing. But we tend to want to always move up in boats......quality, features, size etc. Let me just say that I never bought another Bayliner but I have had a 22 CD and now a 25 CD...

Definately get the downriggers as far astern as possible. Sorry I have no pictures to show you but mine are rail mounted aft of the upright rail support with an aluminum brace bolted to the gunnel. The previous owner cut the rail off ahead of the upright support and mounted the downriggers where...

Martin YES....I still love that little motor. This is the fourth season using it and it really runs sweetly. A little heavier than a 2 stroke but a lot quieter and not stinky. I've never been close to a running Honda 2HP but some say the Suzuki is much quieter. I'm sure you will be pleased with...

Roger Beautiful boat. My guess is......Ed Monk Sr. design........McQueen shipyards build..........am I right?? Cheers, :beer Tom

Thanks George. I too am heading out to check mine right away. How much fluid does it take to refill the system.......anyone know? Cheers, :beer Tom

Chris, The trip across from Campbell River to Desolation Sound is not a big deal. Just be careful going around Cape Mudge if strong winds are going against a big tide rip.....not fun. All said, 99% of our trips over and back have been a piece of cake. We were caught in that situation once before...

Great photos!! I had a similar experience several years ago while fishing off Campbell River. I had just lost three fish that I fought to within 50 feet of the boat to the seals. All I got was the head. I was feeling dejected about the fact that fishing was hot but the seals robbed me each time...

I seem to get about 5200 RPM at WOT with the 15" aluminum prop that I have. My question was to see if any of the Brats have tried different props and found one to be the best for the unit under the conditions described. As mentioned, I am usually fairly heavily loaded. Cheers, :beer Tom

I have a CD25 with a Yamaha 150. Is there a prop that is best for general use? I tend to run more to the heavily loaded side than the lightly loaded side. Cheers, :beer Tom

I would never attempt to judge which brand of outboard is the best. They all seem very good these days but I have to say that we have traveled to some very remote places where the native tribespeople are far from repair service and the brand that we see predominently in these places is Yamaha...

Thanks for your replies. Indeed the RoadRunner trailer is at the top of my list for trailers available locally. Seems like all of the dealers around here sell them. They make one that has a gross weight of 8500 pounds. That would work for me but the cost is $7500. plus tax. I was wondering if it...

I have a 2008 CD25. I need a trailer that can carry 7000 lbs of boat and added extras. I prefere a bunk trailer. Is there a specific trailer that most Brats are happy with for this rig? Thanks Cheers :beer , Tom
