Steve and Joanie, good info on not having to leave the boat to use the phone on the dock at Bedwell. Does the phone number work for other entry points as well? That simplifies things a bit. Now if I understand correctly you did not use the ArriveCan App before you entered Bedwell Harbor...

StarcrafTom, I was just looking at the DeepZoom website and really like it. As long as you can use your computer its a good source for nav planning. I rely on my Garmin Chartplotter as it has a wealth of info, but you always need a backup plan. I'd like to see DeepZoom on an app.

Nice looking boat. I tend to like the classic working boat lines. However after having owned a 21 ranger tug with a Yanmar diesel (old school before they got fancy), then a 21 Pompano with a 75 Yanmar made by Atlas Boat Works and then a 25' Acadia with a 170 Yanmar diesel also made by Atlas...

Ken, first off I don't own a Yamaha and have never worked on one, but believe they are on top of their game. Great motors. If it were me looking to purchase it I would want a sea trial. if that isn't possible I would want to have a certified mechanic look at it. That would probably be at...

Roger, I would have to agree with T.R. in that you need a good starting point. I would check each battery separately as you mentioned you only replaced 1 battery which can be a problem. If one battery has a short in it, it can bring the other one down too. I would have both of the batteries...

Yes, I have a 2007 25' cruiser and have a cross bar between the side rails over the splash well which is where I mount my Bar B Que. I mount my Cannon Downrigger on a Cannon T-bar riser plate. I use a 15lb ball without the boom extended. I will say it has a small amount of spring action but...

MartyP you're right about no Destroyer (tin can) sailor ever wanted to be on a Cruiser. I was stationed on two Gearing Class tin cans DD710 USS Gearing and DD709 USS Hugh Purvis and made that trip across the Atlantic in the tail end of a hurricane so know what its all about to 'bob and weave'...

First of all good luck, you've got your hands full. The first place I would look is in the members list. Drop a note to any of the top 3 choices and go from there. PS I've always liked the sea sport.

MY Honda generator did the same thing. When it is time for an oil change she just shuts down. Change the oil and away we go for another 50 hours or whatever it is programed for. Change the oil and give it a go. Good luck.

Thanks Dr Bob for getting back to me. So as I understand it, I could get a knock off Vectron meter to monitor my two existing banks which consist of bank 1 is my group 27 starting battery and bank 2 is 2 group 27 house batteries. And for the dingy (8'10" inflatable keel with plywood floor) get...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I probably wasn't clear that the trolling motor will be to power the dingy so would have to be on a sperate portable battery. That having been said and considering all of your comments, I think the first thing I should do is add a Vectron battery monitor to see...

Hello fellow Cbrats, I'm looking for suggestions for adding a battery for multiple uses. I presently have 3 Lead Acid batteries (1 year old) and really not sure if I want to replace these however I may need to. Presently when on anchor running the gps anchor watch, the anchor light...

Peter and Judy, We've stayed at Ladysmith a few times at the Maritime Society dock. you may want to give them a call as they are very helpful. As far as entering the US there are a couple choices.... Friday harbor or Roche Harbor. you must contact the US Customs office upon arrival. We've...

Serpa4, we are using a 22lb Lewmar Delta behind 60' of 1/4" chain & 180' of 1/2' 3 strand rode. I also carry a small danforth.

Keith, now that i know what the cover is for I would agree with Bob. I hauled a 21' Pompano from Ramrod Key, Florida to Port Orchard, WA and the only prep I did was to tape thick cardboard on the windows, around the radar (for bug protection) and taped sheets of carboard around the bow area...

Patrick, there are a number of options if you have racks on your roof. if you don't you can find some I'm sure. I do believe West Marine carries stainless hand hold roof racks. Google "roof racks to carry paddle boards". good luck.

Update... They are $389. for a 10' x 20' all enclosed.

Keith, you may consider just getting a portable garage from Costco for around $300.

Hello Nate. You are wondering what boats we considered before buying our CDory. Many! We looked at the Roseburg 246 and found it to be a pretty good boat and may have purchased one but they tend to be a little on the pricey side . We also had a Ranger tug 21' that was a cute boat but didnt...

Thanks for your responses Dr. Bob and Marco. It seems that the expense of the electric package including charging ability would sway my decision as to which direction I go. I'm seeing that going electric would be close to $2K as opposed to used 4 stroke for somewhere around $800. There...
