When we first got our GB, the horn was pathetic. I checked with the GB folks and the told me that most air horns have a fitting to receive oil. Most of the time the fitting is red. I found the fitting, added a couple of drops of 3in1 oil and voila! What a sound.

I believe that this has been mentioned in at least one prior post, but here is a review of coppercoat, a product that supposedly gives many years of bottom coat protection. Might be useful if you plan on keeping your boat for a while. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/ ... tom-paint/

Congrats! Hopefully the marine industry is picking up again.

Saw two 22s waiting for service at West Coast Marine. A red stripe with Johnson power and a green strip with Yamaha power. No names on the boats.

We live in Bellingham and keep our boat at Squalicum Harbor. Right now there is available moorage in the 26'-33' sizes, but it does get tight in the summer. We love Bellingham and have lived here on and off for the past 55 years. Let us know if you want any information about the city, real...

Congrats! Having a life partner makes the ride so much better.

Any good deed for good dealers. A strong dealer network makes all boat owners better off.

I'm sorry for your loss. And, I agree you must get screened. I've lost two friends in the last eight years to colon cancer. It's a simple screening!

Welcome aboard! Les and the Marinauts are both class acts.

That is terrible!! I feel so bad for you. Things like that are just rotten. But the good news is that it will pass. C-brats are with you.

Tom, I used to live just outside DC and used all three airports (Dulles, Reagan, Baltimore). Just choose the cheapest flight as there will be shuttles from Dulles and Baltimore. If you fly into Reagan, the metro is right there. You are likely having some difficulty with transportation and...

Yes, we would do it again. This coming from someone who just moved up to a GB32. We had three C-dorys, a 16, a 22 angler, and a 24 tomcat. We loved each of the. But our knowledge and needs kept changing, so we ended up with a larger trawler. If we decide to downsize, then it will definitely...

We owned a TC24, but have spent limited time on a 25. My impression is that the biggest difference is in the berth. The TC berth is open and larger. The cat design allows for more room forward. I did find, however, that the head room in the 25 was superior. Discovery is also correct on...

We had a 16 and loved it. We towed it with a Subaru Outback and it was easy to launch. The boat can be a bit stern heavy but that can be alleviated by carefully balancing weight when loading

Thanks Pat! We are happy, and we will certainly see you on the water. How many days to retirement? Or, have you stopped counting. When I was in the Navy, we had terms for how "short" someone was. Are you short?

I do find that the bigger displacement helps. But I'm careful when approaching a dock because at more than 20,000 pounds, I don't want to hit anything at speed. Using back and fill, I can spin the boat in its own length. I also like separate levers for the throttle and the transmission. With...

Yup, life is good with the boat. We are very lucky because we keep the boat in the water only about five minutes from our house (I can even see part of the boat from the house). So, I'm down at the boat 6-7 times a week. An hour a day keeps the blues away!

Well, today was not a good day...a really bad day. Lots of stress, things out of my control, ouch! What to do? I don't smoke, I like a good beverage but not to control stress.....what to do? Hmmmmm, I loaded up my Labrador in the van and......headed to the boat! Ah, the feel of the boat...

I seem to lose 20-30 years when I step on the boat. Not much lease can do that.

We are making the transition nicely. Unlike Jim and Pat, we realized that trailering was not for us. We like day cruises and shorter trips to the San Juan islands. We also have come to enjoy just visiting the boat in its slip. It's very relaxing to us and because there are several...
