Nicely done, Les! :thup You forgot to mention that the radar tower also hinges at the base for trailering.

That by itself would cut message traffic by 80% :mrgreen:

Joe/John, Thanks. I thought it was a way to turn this into a win-win situation by making the exchange of information as efficient as possible. It would save whoever ends up representing the factory here on C-Brats time by putting everything they need to look at in one place, and C-Brats would...

I’ll jump back into this discussion with a few comments. The factory>dealer>customer - customer>dealer>factory business model is here to stay. To stay competitive, that’s a necessity for C-Dory Marine Group. It’s also the relationship customers who live outside the vicinity of the factory...

Add us to the list of those that bought a C-Dory product after discovering the boats on the Internet and then following the discussions here on C-Brats. The great customer/factory relationship was a huge determining factor for us. It would be very interesting to know what percent of C-Dory...

Congrats on the new rig, Joel. You should have a great ride bringing it home. I have a flawless 1983 GS1100 Suzuki that I plan to mount a sporting sidecar (appropriate to a 1980's motorcycle) on one of these days. Sidecars are great. Have fun, Steve

Thanks everyone for the information and your suggestions. Looks like I might be OK 'as is', but I will look further into the various options for folding arches and mounts. John, the only thing I could find in Fisheries Supply was a mast mount. Are you thinking of something like this? Seaview...

I haven't seen the folding arches that Thataway refers too, but I don't see why that wouldn't work. Obviously, if it was made from stainless, it would cost more to fabricate than a fixed arch, and be a bit more complex with bushings and a locking mechanism, etc. I considered the folding...

Bob, Thanks for the numbers, you're offering some hope here: 6' from the waterline to the top of the outboard edge of the cabin, plus about 24" for the tall radar arch (ours might be a bit lower), plus 9" for the Raymarine dome = 8' 9" I'm thinking I would like 6" clearance just to be safe...

We'll, technically speaking, yes. The contract probably prohibits subletting, I’d have to check. I wouldn’t want to get into trouble at the marina before we even got our boat in the water. OTOH, it would help to defray expenses…..hummm? Are you asking out of curiosity, or are you interested?

Or just load it down with a lot of extra "goodies". Maybe I'll try that idea on the wife :wink: It will matter how heavily the boat is loaded down, but if it's that close, you just know someday you're going to whack that radome. Makes me cringe just thinking about it. Steve

Thanks, Gene. Do you know how much lower than the tall factory arch your's is? Looks like a good 6 inches from your pics.

Thanks for the response, John. So, if I followed your math correctly, you’re guesstimating that I’ll have an inch to spare!? Plenty of room! :D We won’t actually be taking delivery until around June, so I don’t have a way to check this myself. Unfortunately the slip we’re looking at will...

I’m looking at a covered slip for a TomCat 255 (with the tall radar arch and radome). From the water to the top of the opening is about 9’ 7”. Is that going to be enough?

Hey Two-Doggies, Got any pictures of that two winch set-up and/or the boat being launched? Sounds slick.

Ah, Portland, not exactly the first city.... The City That Cut the Cord Sleepy Spokane, Wash., has a secret: it's the wireless hot spot of the future October 11, 2004 ....In 1999, Crilly, working with another HP engineer named Bob Conley, figured out a way to run a regular wi-fi signal through...

Please let Patty know that everyone on the C-Dory site is pulling for her! How did she manage to keep her sense of humor? I'm afraid I would have been a tad grumpy! What a lady! Give her our best. - Lorraine & Steve

Here's something from Volvo Penta that I thought brats might find interesting. http://www.volvo.com/volvopenta/global/en-gb/marineengines/Engine_Configurator/engine_configurator/ It's an 'Engine Configurator', you plug in the numbers and it recommends an engine. Using Les's numbers of a...

John (aka New Hampshire Guy), My question would be, what does the boat weigh fully loaded and ready to sail? Steve

Lorraine and I will be driving over Wednesday (we recently moved to Idaho) and hanging around the R-25 display until Friday. :D If anybody has something they would like photographed or measured, or a question they would like asked, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Steve
