DNS, Welcome and congrats on your "inheritance". You are in the right place, both the forum category and the C-BRAT site. You are wise to consider windage. It can make a difference. You are towing a CD-25 so I am guessing that you are using a tandem axel trailer. That will help, as the...

Dave, to post photos you first have to have a photo album on this site. You need to send a PM to the Admin guys and ask for an album. They are generally pretty quick to respond. Then you load the pix into the album and from there you can transfer them to your thread posts. Admin is the first...

Whoops, Duplicate Post. Harvey SleepyC :moon

Paul, Joel is a stand-up Brat, and will do you right in the exchange. And yes, hope to get to cross wakes with you along the way. Might be too soon for The Friday Harbor CBGT but there is always the Delta or SF Bay or Lake Powell too. There is a Partial solar eclipse event coming up there...

Thanks Pat, Yes, there is fuel at Freds. I went buy there to check. I am really curious what other Portland area on the water fuels are available. Freds was $7.00 and it was ETHANOLIZED. I didn't do the Mult Channel this trip but have and it is always fun. Harvey SleepyC :moon

Congrats Joel. You did well, and somebody got a great boat. Hope to still see you around here. Our trip on the delta/bay is still one of my C-BRAT highlights. Harvey SleepyC :moon

Did you get the photos into a C-BRAT album. I didn't see anything that looked like it in your album. Harvey SleepyC :moon

Catskinner, You have a color that is almost Chameleon. I run into that frequently with that color. Yes it floats, as long as they were sure to put the plug in. It will float much longer with that in place. It's coming. Step by step. Harvey SleepyC :moon

Paul, Good Choice. And Thanks you for your service. Your compadres have saved my bacon many a time. Harvey SleepyC :moon

Wiring direct to the battery is a preference. Since I do not store my boat on the water, I did not want the wiring set up that way, (I wanted to be able to kill ALL battery drain until I wanted something turned on, then I turn it on so I didn't have any parasitic drain.) you may choose...

Actually, the R2AK ( Race to Alaska ) has 2 starts. From the R2AK website: https://r2ak.com/r2ak-explained/ Stage 1 Race start: June 13, 2022, Port Townsend, Washington Stage 1: The Proving Ground Port Townsend to Victoria BC (40 miles) R2AK starts with an initial race across open water, two...

Colby, You might enjoy the ride UP the Willamette River toward the Falls. It goes right through main downtown Portland. Kind of a City Scenic route. (Watch for the WWII submarine at OMSI, Oregon Museum of Science and Industry on the east shore). You should be able to clear all the bridges...

With your boat on the water. If it rains and fills the cockpit, the aft pump comes on and pumps the level down, but the cockpit slopes forward, leaving several inches of water against the cabin bulkhead. In that position, most likely the water will stand forward in the cockpit, and should be...

Thanks Pat, I should have put it in quotation marks though. Whoops. Harvey SleepyC :moon

Oh Yes, that is a great write up. Like it so much I have it printed and in my boat book on SleepyC Thanks from me too, Pat. Harvey SleepyC :moon

Catman, Thanks for the eyes on report. By the time the Brats get there, the caution tape might be down from the far sides of the street but there is going to be a big black wound on the top half of that block. Those are not Port buildings, but that won't make the permitting any easier. They...

I forgot to mention Dodd Narrows. It is one of the funniest places I have been on the water. Seems like the North end is always lower than the South, so when traversing you are either going a definite up hill or down hill. And it always seems quite steep. It is worth doing if your timing is...

That is really not something that that island community needed. What a tragedy and awful timing. Hope for a quick recovery. Harvey SleepyC :moon

Maybe try going through Motor Vehicle Department and see if it considered a derelict vessel. Also, look for any Mechanic sticker anywhere, and see if you can find anything from them. Or, check the area mechanics with the Registration number or the HID number and see if anyone has worked on it...
