Okay--Im not giving up so easy. Awhile back I asked a complicated question about where you find it most convenient to park you backside in the cockpit while underway/fishing/crusing. Got zero answers. Tyboo, I can't picture you sitting in a lawn chair. Nor do I imagine that everyone is perching...

My sunbrella covered dinette and v-berth are beginning to look grungy. Has anyone ever tried to launder their seat and berth coverings or is re-covering the only real solution? Do I need to recoat the sunbrella? C-Trial

Whew. Thanks for the enhancement, Bill.

Chuck, Lucky you who "get" this 12V stuff. So what I think yer sayin is, get a dedicated house battery and my twin Honda 40's will keep it charged if I run the engines plenty during the day but the amp draw over night will run the battery down? So its more a question of (1) how much am I going...

exnay on the icebox... The icebox in my cruiser appears to be the lowest form of human invention since the first wheel was chipped from stone. Out it will come (hopefully this weekend), but what to put into the gaping maw that remains? Talking to the C-D factory I was inclined just to opt for...

Bill, Can't thank you enough for making all this available. I owe you at least several of your favorite ale for this information. best, C-Trial

Good sir, have you no conscience? How can you possibly dangle the Garmin 2006 before me when you can see how mightily I labor under other false endeavors of questionable economy? Do you expect me to not look lovingly upon thy 2006's countenance? Do you not expect me to feel the pangs of passion...

I once stumbled across some (recent) boat show photos on this site that I'm trying to relocate. As I recall it showed a (number of photos of a ) green 22 cruiser being rigged, I seem to recall Les Lampman being referred to in the potos, but most importantly, the boat had an ultra-neat stainless...

Forgive me father, for I have sinned... I settled with Schooner Creek today on starting the following work list beginning this Friday: new hydraulic steering Raymarine ST6001 autopilot with remote Bennett M120 TTs Rule 2000 bilge (aux) in the transom Lewmar Sprint 600 windlass and a 16.5#...

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I'm inclined to go with the Sprint 600 only because of the metal Gypsy and my decision to use 20' of chain on the rode. The cost of upgrading the Sprint 400 to a metal Gypsy is more costly than just buying a 600 to begin with. I don't really like the idea of...

Hearing the experiences of anyone wiusing a Sprint 400 or Sprint 600 vertical windlass would be appreciated. Considering installing the Sprint 400 next week. Please stop me if the 400 is, in reality, undersized for a 22 Cruiser. My hook will be a 16.5# bruce and 20' of chain. I'm guessing 200'...

Greetings, all... I'm interested in comfortable cockpit seating while underway or while fishing. True, opne could pull up a cooler with a padded top, but what would be more interesting would be comfrortable padded seats with a back (you know, the fold down back variety--you see them at West...

Mike, I get it... Nice friends you got around here :smilep Meet me over on the Bayliners Users Group (BUG) bulletin board and we'll discuss things. It's really just hunk dory if you like teak gewgaws. On the other hand, I've seen your postings and you've got master inventor written all...

I just bought a 2000 22 Cruiser with a black box already on the boat. The lower unit of her starboard engine shows some very odd electrolysis that I suspect may stem from the black box's current. This boat was only trailered, never moored. The former owner did not follow the black box...

Someone posted about a cheap cover for his boat something about a big barn and lots of dust. was talking to my buddy about same thing and he suggested to go on ebay and buy one of thouse cheap parachutes about 30 bucks seems to me would work fine and if it gets to grungy you aren't out much...

Greetings, Tyboo I received this reply to a thread I started several days ago: Hey there, I live just across the river from you. Sportcraft Marine in Oregon City has recieved some good reviews. Other than buying our boat there, I haven't done any business with them. They have sold and rigged a...

Upon further reflection, perhaps I should name her C-Note, as in I'm sure spending plenty of em on this boat lately :D John on C-Trial

Greetings all, This is my second post to C-Brats since buying C-trail 2 weeks ago. I have a number of projects going on and at this rate am spending money faster than Congress. First, I live in St. Helens and will be looking forward to seeing all you Columbia River folk at the next gathering...

Greetings, all, This is my first posting on the C-Brat site. Completed the purchase of a 22 Cruiser about 10 days ago and have been trying to come up to speed. perhaps someone can point me to old threads that have answered this subject (the C-Brat archive is really big). I store my dory in a...
