Well said, Gary. I agree, and my thanks as well, Phil, for giving us a glimpse at the galaxy of creatures and colors under our hulls. :rainbow

A beautiful, grey stripped 16' Angler motored east through Seattle's Montlake Cut today at 1 p.m. The couple aboard waved to my buddy and me, and looked to be having a splendid time on this Super Bowl Sunday. Later, we saw them head west, back into Lake Union. It's ironic that the last two walks...

I'd bet that adding two feet to that hull made it a measurably more efficient cruiser. What's your boat's horsepower capacity now, do you suppose? The 60 horse Honda would look right nice back there.

Mark, following Steve and Joanie's Venture come to life is fun. I think you should do this for every boat. That's not too much to ask, is it?

Thanks for the info, David, and nice to hear from you. Have you had a chance to get out in your unique 16/18' Cruiser?

Gary, I'll second that. This is my kind of entertainment, watching their sparkling craft evolve. :clock

Gosh, I sure love all this enthusiasm! Harvey, I missed this thread, but count me in as well. I'm the other Brock with a Venture. ( I gotta meet the Bellingham version.) Thanks for firing this up again. So if they allow it, we will migrate. MikeR and I just spent the long weekend at Friday...

Hey, Pat and Patty, that's really cool news. But are our "slow cruisers" about to fashion a personality makeover?

Gary, yes, same boat, I believe. Not sure who the new owners are. Maybe they'll jump on here and reveal the secret!

Pennybridge, that was me and a buddy waving at you in your 23' Venture Saturday near the UW as you headed east through the Montlake Cut. I'm sure you had a dock full of other admirers as you explored the region that mostly sunny day. :star

Gosh, David, a week in the ICU's a hell of a thing to have to go through. I wish you the best in your continued recovery. Just know that there's a lot of us here in your corner. :rainbow

Hey, Steve and Joanie, I'm excited for you. Your boat's a little ahead of schedule, no? I'm sure Daybreak agrees with me, you're going to love it. I'll tell you, after 578 hours on my 23', it's still a brand new thrill every time I fire her up for another adventure. (Then again, all our C-Dorys...

Thanks, Mark. I'll enjoy following the process! Brock

Regarding the cabin top's weight capacity, I recall a comment Mark Toland made in 1989 when we rolled my sparkling 16' Angler out the factory door. "You could put an elephant up there," he claimed. I think it's reasonable to believe the bigger C-Dorys can accommodate more weight than a 16. Maybe...

This thread is fun to read, and it supports what I've always believed about Brats. It's the boat, you bet, but just as much it's the friendships we create. And Leo, nice to hear from you. Are you thinking about another boat one day?

She sure is a beauty.

Dwight, thanks for sharing text and videos of your beautiful Bertram. I'm glad to hear you're still planning to rendezvous with us whenever we get the OK to crank up group gatherings again. Once a Brat, always a Brat, as far as I'm concerned. That goes for you, too, Peter. Hey, Dwight, I'll be...

Nice post, Gary. And Harvey, now that you mention it, maybe we should plan a C-Cruise to Princess Louisa next year. Provided they'll open the gate.

Yeah, that one's pretty easy. Beautiful, too. :photo

Hey, Steve, congrats to you and Joanie for pushing the start button on a new Venture 23'. You'll love it, and someone's going to be darned happy to buy C-Sharp. And Factory Mark: Keep those photos coming because it's fun to get a sneak peek at those beautiful new boats.
