After just lifting the C-Brat to replace the bunks, I question their "backbreaking labor" claim. Planning, two pair of automobile jackstands, two hydraulic jacks, four padded 1 ft sections of 2X6 and a 4X4 for the bow crossbar costs far less than $699 plus shipping. Sure it's two steps but...

Gentlemen, you have to realize that Pat was raised in a disfunctional environment where blue collar trades were an anethma and he was actively discouraged if he did anything other than use his considerable brain power. He developed FUD syndrome and only now has he been able to break loose from...

Hey Pat, good on ya. Your tutorial is needed and I'm sure it'll be welcome. I happened to own a cheap air stapler (Harbor Freight) so I ordered a box of stainless staples just to have them around. Galvanized probably work as well. You have a special situation with those beams. Most C-22's...

What kind of Nuke? There are several rates that are given a basic skill like Electronic Tech, and then go to Nuke school for advanced training. If he's an officer it's tougher. As a hiring manager at Memorex in the '70's I had to turn down a very well trained Navy nuke Lt. Overqualified. He...

While polishing my Tacoma tailgate, I discovered a camera lens almost hidden in the tailgate handle assembly. Jumped on the web and discovered that in 2009, Toyota pre-wired a large number of Tacomas for a backup camera! Including the wiring and connector hidden in the headliner above the...

Just finished the same bunk recarpet for the C-Brat last week. Only difference is that I used stainless steel 3/4" staples. Or maybe you also used stainless, you didn't mention the staple material. Lowes really came through. Also replaced the 2X6 bunks and 2X4 side rails since the rails...

When looking all over for an item like a boat or a car, I prefer Oodle.com. If you plug in your location and tell it to check the entire country you will be surprised as to how many C-Dorys are for sale. Check this out! Around 50 listings from many sources. Don

Dave et al, I really would like to go - even to get 1/2 pint or a pint of Tailgate Blue and join the fiberglass gathering but spousal unit will be in New Jersey across the middle of October and I'll be holding the fort here. :cry: I will add some general knowledge to the fray. There is an...

Welcome aboard. I think you will genuinely enjoy your new boat and your new computer forum. In our case, we serendipitously visited a C-Dory dealer, drawn from an ad in some boating mag. Saw it, ordered a new one and only then did we discover the Brat site. Fortunately it was early enough...

Plus Scott is accessable. Something he can be in the new lean mean Triton machine. I expect that to fade in direct proportion to their future growth, but the impression I got was that he is dedicated to keeping close contact with C-Dory customers and if it isn't Scott personally it will be...

More kudos for Scott and the new Triton Team! I needed some gelcoat numbers for color matching. Scott came through. The numbers were for the fairly common C-Dory white and the dark blue. I forgot to ask about the inside grey splattery looking stuff on the floors, but if I need it I know where...

John, I jumped into the gelcoat matching arena this past week. Found out there is an alternative to Spectrum called MiniCraft.com and interestingly, it's also in Florida and though it's far more comprehensive, it seems to duplicate Spectrum in many ways. I ended up emailing Scott at Triton...

Ahh but do they have the equivalent of this software? I truly enjoyed viewing my sonar information on the big screen PC and picking off GPS coordinates to play with on the next trip. If they do, Garmin would probably move up on my wish list. 'Till then, the Lowrance Elite-5 DSI will sit high...

Especially someone from YOUR workplace. :mrgreen: Can you say "never live it down?" It just proves it can happen to anybody. Have a better day Don

I've used the Raymarine C-80 system including radar/fishfinder and I've used a Lowrance high end (at that time) chart plotter/fishfinder with Furuno radar. Unfortunately my Garmin experience has been limited to Streetpilots and Nuvi's. :? Gotta agree with Roger. The Raymarine is absolutely...

Mike, I'm just gonna disagree with Charlie, mainly because I'm in a disagreeable mood or maybe because I had a 4 stroke 75 hp on the Jenny B and was extremely satisfied. Given that the early Evinrude you're looking at is probably a 2 stroke, it's lighter weight puts us pretty even in the power...

Oh lord, don't get him started. I'll just say Verizon gained a new acolyte. :roll: Don

Thanks to Casey: For Casey, right click the full size photo in your album, select properties and copy the URL. Then it's easy. It's inserted just as you see in the box below. Don

Not surprising. With the number of lawyers in DC, one would expect the scent alone would draw more sharks. Plus the copious amounts of bovine feces entering the Potomac around the beltway has to attract scavengers considering there is only one outlet to sea for all that muck. Not to mention...

If it's a NMEA 2000 heading sensor it should work fine on the Lowrance NMEA 2000 bus. Caveat: I can't guarantee it will because I haven't personally tried it but I have mixed Lowrance and RayMarine NMEA 2000 devices before and they all spoke the same language. I've even used the Lowrance GPS...
