Too, bad, really, that doing it correctly is not being done. I personally would jump at a "correct" option as a $500 upgrade, to have it done right by the factory. I'm begininng to see why the factory hull warranty is so limited. People fear balsa core, for good reason.

The balsa core of the C-Dory line has been controversial...it is pretty-much agreed-upon that balsa coring can be a positive or a negative... Best-practice is that when penetrating the balsa core, the balsa will be cut back under the fiberglass skins, and filled with epoxy, so that no balsa...

What's your supply piping? CPVC, PEX, Copper? I have no RV experience so that's why I ask. Gate (and globe) valves have outlived their usefulness...quarter-turn is the way to go, but be very wary of Asian-sourced brass valves and fittings, due to "de-zincification" issues...the Chinese...

Are West coast lobsters the spiny type, like in Florida, or the clawed types found along the Eastern seaboard, typically called "Maine lobsters"? I spent some time on Deer Isle three years ago, and the lobsters were so over-abundant that the fishermen were getting paid less per pound than...

Only on c-brats do you find someone able to be grammatically correct with a plural-possessive...over on The Hull Truth, nobody knows the difference between "there", "their", or "they're", or even the difference between "to", and "too"... I finished seventh-grade North of the Mason-Dixon...

Service is key, and your choice of the motor dealer is probably at least as important as the motor brand. It's vitally important to buy the motor locally, from a dealer you expect to have a long-term service relationship with. When you call for a service appointment, the first question they...

Is Cat On A Leash available as print-on-demand for someone who does not own a computer or e-reader? (these people do actually still exist...) I read the first few dozen pages of "Molly" and think it would be a good gift, but not if computers or electronics are involved (think: Amish...)

Can it run "wet", at displacement speeds, in a pinch? In ground-effect hover-mode, it should save a few manatees...

I'm still apologizing to my cat about how we were going to scoop-up lobsters and crabs at low-tide at the property we were supposed to buy on Deer Isle...that purchase fell through, but now I own 115' feet of direct lakefront on Champlain...but, no crabs, no lobsters... But, also, no nine-foot...

Thanks for the explanation... Sure wish there were crabs in Lake Champlain...but, guess the lakers, pike, and salmon help make up for the crab shortage...plus, there's something to be said for salt-free waters...

sorry, missed that...

I would be helpful to post the year and size of your C-Dory, when asking such a question, don't you think?

I would think that the bigger issue should be that an abandoned pot will continue to catch crabs that will never be harvested... I know nothing about crab traps, but Maine lobster regs require an escape door with a fastener that quickly corrodes...is that how it's done in you area, or does the...

The issue of lead shot is relevant...if waterfowl regs. in your area require non-toxic shot, I think you can assume that shooting clays would fall under the same prohibition. The clay pigeons landing in the water are probably not an EPA issue, though. Trap shooting on a cruise ship is way...

Good luck with your endeavor. One person can live with very limited means in terms of physical accomodations...adding a second person would require not double the space, but probably quadruple the living area, though. I believe boredom will get to you each night...does the marina at least have...

I have a love/hate relationship with Apple. I have their 80gb classic iPod for the car...only use it for my own MP3 files...never bought any music from the iStore or whatever it's called. I hate the iTunes interface, but am stuck with it. The hardware is great, and integrates with my car...

This is a rather old, respected anchor, that fell out of production with the death of its designer, but is now being made again by someone who apparently purchased all the molds (the patent, I believe, expired long ago). http://www.seaclawanchors.com/products.html Any experience with these...

You nailed it. I can't imagine going out on a boat solo, with no way to get back aboard if you go over, 10x so when boating in frigid waters. Not a nice way to die...although considered to be painless after you give-up...as reported by near-deaths by hypothermia. The ladder needs to be...

Prismatic diffusing lenses can help get around the narrow beam of discrete LEDs, but from a legal standpoint, I believe it would be prudent to replace the existing fixtures with a USCG-approved unit, as opposed to retro-fitting the bulbs with LED replacements. We're not really talking big-bucks...
