    Competition for the 23 Ranger

    The main advantage of the Ranger or the Beneteau (or Rosborough) over the C-Dory is that the C-Dory has a crawl-in front berth and the others have a stand-up front cabin. But that also makes them heavier to tow, so pick your problem.

    scuppers at or below waterline

    What all is hanging on the transom? Are you running twins? The scuppers on my 25 are clear of the waterline and I've not had any water intrude into cockpit.

    Anyone ever cruise the Mississippi coast/barrier islands?

    Local weather? You mean the rain, rain, and more rain? The Commodore Yacht Club is completely underwater, restrooms flooded, office trailer ruined, no access to docks except by canoe if you have one! Good thing that our docks, and boats, float! I saw boats on trailers floating around the trailer...

    Anyone ever cruise the Mississippi coast/barrier islands?

    Thanks for the info, John. We are going to have to miss Hontoon this year as our available window for travel was just too tight to make it worth the trip. But this is our last year for working!!!! About the MS coast, I was curious because I know that hundreds of Loopers come down the Tenn-Tom...

    Anyone ever cruise the Mississippi coast/barrier islands?

    We spent a nice weekend awhile back in Bay St. Louis, MS and found it a cute little town and noticed that they had a nice municipal marina. I was wondering about the boating in that area? I never hear anything about anyone visiting that part of the coast. Curious about the barrier islands and if...

    ---"That would make a nice deck tender for a larger boat--" So, would that be for your next one, Jason, or the one after that? ; >

    Camp Lejeune drinking water contamination

    I have a relative who died young from liver cancer and who was based there during that period. Now I'll always wonder if that was the cause. Sad in any case and the coverup is disgraceful.

    Importance of 4x4 or AWD or Locking Diff at boat launch?

    Thanks for all the helpful replies. I have a 2wd Silverado for work and lately found myself unable to get up a steep gravel driveway and often find myself slipping around on wet pavement or wet grass. I do realize that the empty bed plays a big part of this but when sliding backwards on that...

    Importance of 4x4 or AWD or Locking Diff at boat launch?

    Never trailered and never launched at a ramp and do not yet have a vehicle capable of hauling my boat. Looking ahead I'm curious as to how important the traction aids in thread title are to keeping my future tow vehicle from going for a swim! Also curious if anyone airs down their tires and...

    03/05 - 03/07 - Hontoon Island, Florida CBGT

    We might be able to sneak in a two day visit, without our boat, begging for rides! Any opinions as to when would be the best times to be there? We would either arrive early Tues. AM and depart Thurs. AM or arrive Wed. am and depart early Friday.

    Dang, my copy has "Super Moon over South Carolina Marina". They must have regional winners? I like the C-Dory cover way better!

    "Setting up" a trailer for a C-Dory?

    Hi Tom, would love to come down and see you guys this year. You and Joyce are a big reason why I bought a 25 and you still have the best setup that I've seen. The decision to trailer will require buying both a trailer and a truck to haul it, and I'm going to wait awhile to determine if we are...

    "Setting up" a trailer for a C-Dory?

    My 25 Cruiser did not come with a usable trailer. Everything local is advertised as either "for pontoon" or "for Deep Vee". If I buy one now, how will I or anyone know how to set it up to fit my C-Dory? Is there a published set of specs or instructions on how to position the bunks? At this point...

    Colors

    Looking at ssobol's before and after pics, I like his paint job better than the speckles. I would not be willing to go through all of that for the result, but I do like the result.
