Casey, my new used C-16 has rocket launchers that are partially removable. Hard to describe them but when the tubes are pulled out of their sockets, you can easily lay an inflatable on top. It was a very creative mod, both inexpensive and sturdy. Soon as I get some time I'll take some closeup...

First caught my eye

Closer inspection

I just today towed the Honky Dory from the Sacramento area to San Diego with the same Harbor Freight temp gauge and three free Harbor Freight flashlights. (ain't they great?). The trailer I towed with was 17 years old and I worried that the bearings hadn't been packed this millenium! Hubs ran...

Looks like Amazon carries a huge choice. Gotta love Amazon.... It's become the first place I look for darn near anything! Don

I figured you would, being an ex Marine and all that.... :) Seriously, cracking the wallet is a lot easier than covering black gel coat. Don The best Marine is a Submarine

Good lord, Sam, you must not have had your glasses on. Click here and you'll find quite a few places that sell it. Even West Marine! Again, when I bought my LMF-200 with sensor it included the stuff in your Ebay link and it was $149 in 2006. I have no idea what is included in the current...

Sam, you must set up a working NMEA bus, which includes proper terminal resistors at the ends of the bus plus the 12 volts before the C-80 will recognize any data from the sensor. You can do it without the LMF-200 gauge, but I can almost guarantee you won't be satisfied with the result...

Warren, Charlie's right. I had one of the first F75 EFI Yamahas. Even delayed my dealer installation 'till he could get one. Great engine! With that said, Les at EQ was very right. The Lowrance sensor - like most any turbine based sensor - is pretty darn innacurate at low flow rates. You...

Sam, I developed that kludge back in 2006 when Lowrance first came out with the LMF-200 gauge with sensor and I wanted to use it as a cheap alternative to the Navman fuel sensor. Lowrance didn't offer a GPS puck for the NMEA2000 bus at the time! You indicate that you have the sensor, yes. Do...

ROTFL. Congratulations. I had Gizmo on my radar screen for a Sunday followup call. I see I got hit with "You snooze, you lose." Enjoy. Don

I would agree in general that people buy small to be cheap. Of course I don't think you're referring to C-Dory owners and prospective buyers though, because they are way more likely to do what you did, Keith; Buy to fill a specific need plus buy into the C-Dory style and ride. I can go on...

Half over? Is it December already? Oh, its not like that in the PNW. I forgot. Never mind. Don In beautiful San Diego where summer never ends.

keith, you filled in a ton of grey areas with that post. Very helpful, but I really have to wonder how you manage to spend a week at Catalina inside that 16 footer along with spouse, dawgs, and all that "stuff!" It's clear to me that our personal needs would be better filled by a cruiser...

Lookin good. So far it appears Permatrims are mandatory on both models, 50 hp is adequate for all around use, and the biggest choice is whether a forward bunk is needed or not OR whether it will be used primarily for fishing or not. Cool. Spousal unit immediately crashes when exposed to sea...

Unlike your C-25, the C-22 cockpit deck is the inner hull on the 2005 and earlier. Outer hull, core, inner hull sandwich. C-22 owners happily walk below the waterline. I would be very concerned had I found flexing in the actual hull structure of my 2005 C-Dory. That was the year factory...

It sounds like you have the typical So Cal driveway as I have. Mine is a measured 26 ft. from garage wall to the sidewalk seam. My 22 ft. C-Dory fit but only because I ordered a Pacific trailer with a swingarm up front AND I backed it in with the motor in the down position. First pix in my...

I'd be there first flight if I could, Marty. Still in Elder Care mode. My first CBG was in 1976, again in 94 and then the dang stents last year. It's a miracle I haven't preceded mom (yet). First on my bucket list is to get up there and visit Dusty and a very close quad friend. Second is to...

OK, it's been 12 months since the Stents, the doc has given me back my launch privileges, I have the itch and I'm ready to scratch it, just not with a 22. I'd like to learn the practical differences between the Angler 16 and the Cruiser 16. I've heard a Cruiser is heavy aft and harder to...

A massive donation to the C-Brats tip jar would go a long way toward assuaging your guilt, methinks. :P
