    The tipping point

    Your right, I should not have responded to the posters who were pretending to run their cars or lawn equipment in order to hurry along the so called climate change. So, my apologies. And I agree that folks should refrain from bringing up politics and religion and global warming and such, which...

    The tipping point

    A person can have their own opinions or their beliefs, but a person cannot have their own facts. So, the question was, if climate change or global warming is not the cause of these 10 things that are happening, what is the reason?

    technique for launching a c dory?

    great. I was dreading it, now it is just like with my smaller boats, which is what I did. Push boat off, throw line to wife, tie off, take trailer to park. I have twin 50s, so turning it should be as simple as put motor next to dock in forward, and other one in reverse. It should spin around...

    technique for launching a c dory?

    So, I recently bought a c dory and am now headed to Valdez to put it in the water and hopefully get a slip. I have never launched this boat before.

    transom rot repair

    I repaired a water soaked transom with products from rotdoctor.com. Had to completely dry out the wood, drill holes in the transom and fill with a syringe until full , then use fiberglass risen. Bottom line, did not have to replace the transom, was hard as a new. Bad news, cost was $500 or more...

    ez load trailer wheel bearings?

    Want to get a spare just in case. How does one determine the correct size wheel bearing to purchase w/o taking wheel off? Tried to get the bearing grease buddy off and use one of the bearings to compare to, but it would not budge and did not want to destroy it in the process. Thanks Jim

    Water leaking from screw hole under keel guard.

    I took off the keel guard and the screws that hold the brass keel plate on, poked a tooth pick into the leaking screw hole and a steady stream of water came out, about 2 gallons. The screw was kind of loose and it appears that water has been encroaching into the hull by the screw hole. The...

    I found this Saturn dingy on boatstogo.com. for $625. It is 8 ft 6 in and weight is 75lb.

Have found one on defender for about the same price but is 53lb with a lighter floor and wood...

    Inflatable for c dory 22

    Was reading the info on inflatables. One guy said to check out the protaboats, which I did. Was wondering if anyone uses these. It looks stable and light, but how would one put it together when needed for use. Looks difficult. Only way I see is to pull it behind which would defeat the...
