Harvey, I have that book and it is a good one. I went to his slide presentation at the boat show a few years ago. He has a lot of good info in his book but his cruising style is "high speed-get there quick-get back home" which didn't appeal to me. I'll go back and review his info about the...

Wes, Check the Documents section under Forums above. There are two documents which might help. One has a lot of good pictures and info on overhauling the Wallas. It might be a different model than yours but they are similar.

Seabeagle, Some of those pix brought back memories. I was stationed at K. I. Sawyer AFB for 5 years (1971-76) and boated a lot in Lake Superior. The Upper Peninsula is a boating paradise with so many lakes. In those days my boating was in a 14' cartopper with an18hp Evinrude or paddling a...

That jives with my measurement on my 2002.

Thanks for all the info. That must be some book-I just checked Amazon and they want $314 for a used copy! I have a call in to a place called Hidden Island RV Resort in Masset. Sounds like about what I am looking for. This trip will be purely a fishing trip and I think we would stick to the...

I have been researching the idea of a fishing trip to the Queen Charlotte Islands next summer. I was wondering if any C-Brats have any experience or info about the area? Everything I have found on-line looks promising. I would tow the C-Dory to Prince Rupert and take the ferry to Skidegate...

I have two new lazaret hatch covers which I have not installed yet. Looks like the old lazaret hatches could be recycled for the anchor locker cover? There should be a lot of those available soon if they will fit.

Dene, I am surprised Pat hasn't chimed in but "Light" beer? I have been known to drink a few Coronas but life is too short to drink light beer.

Charlie, I hate to confuse the issue any further, but I think you got it backwards. The selvage edge Bob was referring to is the smooth finished or factory edge of the cloth or tape. Using 2 inch wide tape and cutting 2 inch long pieces from the tape, you would end up with 2in by 2in pieces...

Bill, Some great points to ponder. We have traveled a lot in the six years since I retired-mostly by RV rather that C-Dory. In years past my wife enjoyed one or at most two nights on the boat at lakes near home. The trip to Lake Powell and spending 7 nights on the boat was a great treat and...

mpmccoy, Sure you can-just get a 5 year sub-prime, interest only, big balloon payment loan! Ha Ha just kidding. Sorry you had to go back to work, there is a lot of that going around.

Jim, In the ST22575R15 size I have found several stores here in the northwest that sell both D and E load range tires. That size would probably fit your trailer.

Jim, To echo Steve's experience, I had problems with Goodyear Marathons on my travel trailer. In 2007 we were on a 8 month trip and two of the four Marathons developed large bulges in the sidewall at the junction with the tread. I replaced the first one with another Marathon and the second one...

Allan, I like the inflatables, especially for warm weather. I like Mustang brand. I have both types on my boat. I wear the standard float type jacket in cold weather and the inflatable in cool or warm conditions. I have three on my boat. When used by novices you need to remind them not to...

Glad you guys made it home ok. We really enjoyed cruising Lake Powell with you guys. Looking forward to the pix.

Harvey, During the week I was cruising with the group, the water temps were consistently 76-77 degrees, sometimes a little warmer in the shallow bays. Air temps were about 90 daytime with lows about mid 60's overnight. Humidity was very low-10-12% which made the temps very comfortable.

Steve, I have the same experience with my 2002. It has a Starboard door and a molded fiberglass opening. The plastic expands greatly in hot weather and the door sticks and is hard to close. As soon as it cools off it works fine. The actual part that sticks is the metal lockset. On my boat...

I want to echo Pat's comments about Lake Powell. This was a great cruise. Thanks Chris for organizing it and thanks Bill for all the geology lessons. I also want to thank Rockytop Roger for treating everyone to views of Jupiter through his telescope, and pointing out the International Space...

We pulled the boat at noon today at Wahweap. Did six days of the cruise and had a wonderful time. This was the first cruise my wife had done with me other than a few overnighters. We are already thinking about a repeat next September. We took a ton of pictures but the free WiFi here can't...
