We used the 18v. battery powered version of the 12v. B&D from Wiliwaw. If you have shore power most of the time to recharge it, it's a powerhouse and very effective. http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-Cord ... SRKX7MTM6X

Larry, Smooth water waits for no one! The house chores, on the other hand, can always wait IMHO. For the first time in 18 months, the water on the Straits yesterday made me wish I had a boat!

If you don't want to get up on plane easily, it may work with the prop being in less disturbed water. If you want the speed of the conventional TomCat, you'll need to think about a Yamaha 300 or 350. The Armstrong bracket is probably strong enough to handle it if modified competently. Then there...

In my humble, non boat owner opinion, the best C-Dory's are the ones being built right now! And, I bet you can get a tour of the factory and see why. Barry's right about them all being a cut above however.

Well, all the audiophiles have checked in and that's way over my head. However, rule #1 when installing a stereo in a boat, Keep the speakers away from the compass ! Like 3 feet if you can. BTDT.

I would bet that you can find better prices online at Defender.com than at WM. Remember their motto "Never pay retail again at West Marine"

Thanks everyone! Tom was touched by the concern of the C-Brats, and he and I appreciate you all. :love

I have about half a sheet Pat. As Mark says, it's a brighter white than the original. Not really noticeable once installed. I have no need for it. PM me.

Thanks everyone for the votes and nice comments. It's nice to help one of the genuine good guys in this world.

There are two launching areas at Fort Flagler, a couple of miles down the road from Mystery Bay SP. However, with a -1.1 tide, all cement portions of the ramps will be out of the water. None of these ramps have docks directly beside them. I think your original plan of using the Boat Haven ramp...

My friend Tom is a Heart transplant recipient. He is no longer able to teach, his lifelong profession. He has entered a contest to try to win $ 10,000 from Anytime Fitness. This would allow him to send his step-daughter off to college this Fall. If you have a minute, read his story and give him...

That's correct. The Marine Center has the only docks close to Ft. Worden. Breakfast and lunch at the Port Hudson Café are pretty good. Try the Baja Burger! When are you planning to take this trip?

Just guessing, but you're probably getting about 2.5-3.0 mpg at 22 kts. Once inside the Island group you can save some fuel money cruising on one engine. We left the other engine down and in neutral. Steering becomes very hard when one engine is trying to fall off to one side as you turn. Ours...

When we're old and retired Pat, the memory is the second thing to go I forget what the first thing was!

Ditto to the above posts and comments. Great time as usual. So good to see Caryn looking so tan and rested! Glad Larry Q is on the mend too. Good to see Dreamer (Anytime Baby) is in capable hands. I suppose it was inevitable that it would get fish guts on it sometime! :wink: Thanks Barry &...

As we drove off the Coupeville-Port Townsend Ferry today, A Red trimmed 22 was waiting to get on. The name was C-I told Ya So !

Congratulations! How soon do you pick her up? Barry, Dixon is just a few miles West of Davis. I hope it still has that small town atmosphere that we used to love when we lived nearby.
