I'm getting an alarm from my monitor when it's out of the water at home on the trailer. My batteries are fully charged, so I don't think that's the issue. I thought it could be the butane canister leaking, so I removed it, I know that butane isn't CO, but anyway. The alarm still goes off...

Mobile East says they're backing off to start to ease into retirement, but I think it's because they're really not selling as many as they used to. In the old days they couldn't stock enough to meet the demand. Now, not so much. That's not to say that these boats have fallen out of favor, it's...

I spoke with one of the mentioned Dealers last week, and Dr. Bob hit it on the head when he said: "The market for new boats has changed. Right now there seems to be a reasonable supply and turnover of used boats. One of the issues is where the boats are, and transport to where they are wanted...

Tied up next to a new big Ranger Tug, and said to the owner "I really like your boat", and he replied "but yours is legendary"

Thanks Dr. Bob, That's exactly the kind of info I need (15mph @ 4400, suggests slippage or mis-tuning). I do not have permatrim, but as you suggest, I do adjust the trim tabs to get the greatest speed at constant RPM. I recently had a tune-up from a certified Honda shop, but I wasn't really...

Thanks Boris, I did weigh the boat, and it came in a shade over 7,000 lbs. I couldn't remember how much fuel and water I had onboard when I weighed it; I assumed it was close to empty, but that might not have been the case. I figured: Boat @ 7,000 lbs Fuel/water @ 840 lbs 2 people @ 350...

Thanks fellas! I tryically cruise at 4400 rpm and hold 15 mph. At that RPM, I'm burning around 6-7 gph. WOT is ~5400 rpm. At slack water, WOT getting 25 mph at (I'm guessing) 10-11 gph I'm at sea level

I don't think I'm getting the economy I see others getting, and would like opinions from the group. I'm currently running a 14*14 (at the suggestion of a local CD dealer). With two people aboard, fully fueled and watered, I'm weighing in at ~8,400 pounds. Most of my time is running the ICW I...

There's your sign

Chris, I've came to the same conclusion (through the windows), but I can't see any water below the frame inside of the cabin.

I would try to isolate (disconnect) the wires one at a time to each of the three lamps, and then see which one is causing the circuit to pop. Then diagnose from there.

Update - I installed the new teak flooring, and finished it with ProFin because it was supposed to be less slippery. Well, it wasn't; it was an accident waiting to happen. Earlier this year, I sprayed clear non-skid, and that did the trick. It dulled it a bit, but that's fine with me

Thanks Rob

Thanks Boris, I knew I'd get an answer here. I'll call them tomorrow, it's a good start

We're trailering down for a few days, and already have a slip reserved at City Dock. Can't seem to find any info on Google. Does anyone know where there's a ramp that allows a few nights of trailer/truck parking?

Regarding the balsa I was a bit concerned at first, but when I found that's what they use in a Hinckley, that's all I needed to know

I had the same problem with my Bennet Trims. The sending unit at the tab was shot. Easy fix

Yes, it's just below Southport at the entrance to the Cape Fear. He thought it was me until he saw how loaded up you were. I immediately knew it was you doing the loop.

My buddy saw you cruising the ICW near Oak Island! At first he thought it was me

Hi Sherona, I see you're in NC! if you're not all that familiar with C-Dories, I'd be glad to show you what you're in for. We're in Oak Island/Southport. Ferg
