    Anyone notice?

    Have you noticed that the for sale listings of C-Dories has really slowed up? Guess they are like gold in hard times and then it is not easy to sell a luxury (for some but a necessity for others) a C-22 or C-25 when folks are "hunkered down". Bob

    Les Lampman Passed Away

    Les and I shared thoughts on how to modify the Marinaut over time so that those with disabilities could still boat. He really cared about how to accomplish a low return design concept if it met the needs of even one or two boaters. Looks like some of our boat will outlast us! Bob

    Removing the alcohol stove REPLACING with Wallace

    I use one of those little single burner butane stoves, two different 1 lb bottle propane stoves, several DIY alcohol stoves, two white gas stoves (MSR and Coleman) but the Queen of the House is my Bremer Sea Swing that uses the one pound bottles is fully gambled (and is movable from mount to...

    NARROW BOATS

    I follow several narrow boat VLOGS. Cruising the Cut is great as is Foxes Afloat (really good video), and Journey with Jono (my favorite boat dog on this one). I find that YouTube does for me what TV never did, I get to actually interact with the sites/owenrs, often they reply to posts quickly...

    Thanks to The Management (Two Part)

    Once had a boat partner blow the top off the 35 gallon holding tank in our Cape Dory 36 by using the dump pump with the valves closed. He also kicked the inlet hose from the head off and the bilge never did smell right from then on out, even after the use of many applications of exotic chemicals...

    Thanks to The Management (Two Part)

    Well I have been a forum member for well before Jim and Joan went to the dark side of no C-Dory/but rather Pontoon Boating (their site is another must read - I am so addicted) and I have figured out that I may never own a C-Dory but I hope that I may be a C-Brat till they dip the flag for...

    The Cruising Adventures of Wild Blue and crew...

    You have to be close to the Texas Tip to buy from Jim and Joan, when they are ready for a change, it is like a Padre Island lightning bolt - ZAP. Just kidding, if you follow their blog you will see what great care all their "toys" get (to say nothing of Cat Care). Glad that Jim is on the full...

Here is another shot at his YouTube library:https://www.youtube.com/user/errolprowse/videos Bob Jarrard PS: Here is another boating site, Journey with Jono, which...

    Left over gas in tanks

    I do not disagree on what others may do, I would add Caro syrup to my fuel if I thought it might help even a bit. Lots of folks I know use Techron, Mercury Quikstor, Star Tron, Sea Foam, Biobor, Lucas, AMSOIL, and Marvel. I think some may use all of these at once and just skip the gasoline. I am...

    Left over gas in tanks

    If I have any doubts, I pump or more often siphon, into my car or my small engines gas tanks. That being said, empty steel tanks rust, lost a very expensive Ducati tank that way. I would empty plastic/fiberglass tanks, especially if I could get in and clean them out 100%. Steel or aluminum I...

    C-22 Open with three motors!

    There was a 22 for sale way back that had two 25's I believe. Lots of ways to skin a cat but in Alaska I see on the web that they often run a bigger kicker than we might here in the lower 48 more of as a "get home" in a shorter time against tides/wind than as a trolling motor. Sort of a split...

    C-22 Open with three motors!

    So this C-22 Open has three motors, two 60 HP Yammies and an 8 HP center mounted. I thing the transom has a metal plate to beef it up. Can any 22 or 25 take three motors like this? Criagslist link for picutres: https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/boa/ ... 58177.html Bob Jarrard
