I got mine just after Apple dropped the price and I am VERY happy with it. It is probably the only gadget I've ever owned with which I am more pleased six months later then when I first bought it. My wife's cell phone is on Verizon, and I get consistently better phone coverage then she does...

Bob: I'm amazed that you only reached 20 mph at 5500 rpm at sea level. With the Cosmic C (also 2003 with a Honda BF130) fully loaded at sea level WOT is also about 5500 rpm but we're going about 28 mph. Lightly loaded with two people aboard we often see 31 mph. Ours is also a 4-blade SS prop...

I guess I had been using www.c-brats.net from way back and was surprised the other day when it wouldn't connect. I've now changed my bookmark so all is well.

All of a sudden www.c-brats.net is no longer there. What has happened?

Sorry, Wayne, I can't remember. It was installed at the factory. The Cosmic C is currently in storage at Cutter Marine on the Chesapeake so I can't go and look either.

We have just about completed the loop, and started out with an "extreme cooler" in the cockpit to supplement our Norcold fridge. We soon stopped using the cooler for keeping things cold, and have relied on the fridge for the entire trip. We never got anywhere near 5-day performance even with...

We lost Cutter on the East Coast. According to them C Dory cancelled their dealership over the phone without warning because they weren't selling a sufficient number of boats. Probably only one side of a more complicated story, but a pity nonetheless.

We'll finish our Great Loop cruise next spring when we cross our wake on the St Lawrence River, and are already thinking about another loop cruise. We're mulling over a cruise that would take us from the St Lawrence to Lake Erie via lake Ontario, a short trailer hop to the Allegheny River...

The Cosmic C has averaged 2.54 standard miles per gallon since new. We have a Honda BF130 and find that quite adequate. Unloaded with one person on board I have done 31 mph (via GPS, no current). The vast majority of our miles have been cruising, fully fueled, watered, holding tanked, and loaded...

Bob and Marie: Hope all goes well this next week and that you're back in fine fettle real soon. Mary and I will be pulling for you on the 27th! Patrick and Mary Fowles

Bob: Mary and I are distressed to learn of your problems. We so much enjoyed your and Marie's hospitality last December, and have learned much from all your posts here. Our thoughts are with you, and we look forward to the best possible outcome for you whatever you choose to do. Pat and Mary...

Cosmic C has an EPIRB on board. Decided to get it after we got caught in the middle of the Delaware Bay, 10 miles offshore, 3-5 ft waves, pouring rain, less than 1/4 mile visibility...

Hi William: Many thanks for the kind offer. I would take you up on it but we're probably going to have some work done on the boat while we are away and so will use an as-yet-to-be-decided-upon marina near Savannah or Charleston where the work can be done. We'll give you a holler when we're in...

The Cosmic C has been back on Leg III of our great loop cruise for just over two weeks now, and us northerners have been thoroughly enjoying the great Florida weather. We had left the boat for a couple of months at the dock of Captain Len Sussman in Cape Coral. He had responded to our request on...

We keep the Cosmic C in the water typically from May until October on the St Lawrence River. For the first two or three years we had no bottom paint and the bottom was pressure-washed each fall. No blisters. We then had bottom paint applied (no epoxy barrier). This year, because we're on the...

We've firmed up our plans for Leg III of our Great Loop cruise, and will be heading out of Cape Coral, Florida, on February 24 for a day on Sanibel before heading across to Stuart and then down to West Palm Beach. We should probably be in West Palm Beach by February 28. The Admiral is now a...

They are absolutely essential! Because of their flat bottoms, all C Dory's have a tendency to pound, even in quite mild chop. Without trim tabs they can be very uncomfortable boats unless you slow way down. Trim tabs transform them into wonderful, comfortable boats, and even increase their...

Why is it that when I click on the url (http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?p=59854#59854) in the Topic Reply Notification email for Bahamas Anyone? I get a page saying that the topic does not exist?

For those considering stopping at the Suwannee river, please be aware of the lack of depth in the approach channel. We had delayed leaving Steinhatchee in order to arrive at about 3:30 p.m. on the 9th, well after half rising tide as is advised (on 12/9 low tide was 10:53 a.m., high tide at 5:16...

The Cosmic C has now reached Cape Coral, FL where she rests at the dock of Capt. Len Susman, who very kindly offered to let us leave her there until the end of February when we'll return to start Leg III of our loop cruise. We've had a grand time since leaving the Austins. We wended our way to...
