Hi, Jeff, Since all of the photos from all 3 sites (C-DOGs, C-Brats, and Halcyon) can be easily downloaded, you may want to just pick and choose whatever you think might suit your brochure best. Right-click and save can get you all the pictures you might want, or need. Nothing, as far as I...

Went that route for the first 3 years, while I was still financing my boat. Not a very big savings, but any tax savings is worth it. Lost it when I decided to pay off the boat. But certainly an acceptable deduction, as far as the IRS is concerned. Ken

Paid $39 for my '99, similarly equipped. I agree...........You're a little high.

Hi, rhys, I think the 125 and the 95 are basically the same unit, with some minor internal exceptions such as fuel pump feed tubes. The lid on my 95 DU sits tight, and doesn't rattle. It has a couple of polymer bumpers that keep it from rattling. Is it your stove cover, or could it be the...

Hi, Chris, Two years ago I had to replace several of the roller arms on my EZ Loader for my 22' Cruiser. I just took the screw jack from my truck, with stable blocks under it, and took a carpeted 4" X 6" block of wood to use between the hull and the jack. (The hull bottom is incredibly tough...

Hi, Blain, I've been wanting a model of my boat for years, but haven't been willing to spend the $1,600 or so that most modelers seem to want for a 15" model. I recently came across someone who might do it for a little less. I know he's done some 12" models for around $450. Go to the address...

Good to hear from some South Jersey folks. Never got much farther north than Atlantic City, although did some fishing in Barnegat Bay. Cape May to Ocean City was our usual grounds. with the boat being kept on the mainland side in Somers Point. Haven't missed it a whole lot since we left in...

Hi, Folks, Wallas 95D exhaust temperature at the outside port is about 405º F. when ambient temperature is around 85º F. Certainly not enough to set anything on fire, but enough to melt some of the lower melting point polymers such as polypropylene. Ken

I agree with Fishtales Roger. Insert from the outside, with the cam handle in the up position. While at rest, the greater water pressure is from the outside in, hence the natural tendency for the water to hold the plug in place. While moving, the up position of the cam handle prevents the slip...

Agree entirely with Roger. Strong means about 50/50, and warm to hot is even better. Works beautifully. Rinse and wipe afterwards, so the vinegar doesn't wipe out your wax job.

Hi, Joel, From what you are describing, you might want to consider a CD 22. Having spent a bunch of time in West Texas, and knowing what the winds do there, you might want to add a bit of security. The 16s are great boats, and folks sure love them. But the weather patterns in your part of the...

The Carolina Skiff is truly a glorified Jon Boat. Very stable. Low freeboard. Economical to run (planes early). With a C-Dory, you can lower the bow in a chop and at least reduce the amount of pounding in a chop. Not a whole lot, but at least some. The standard (unmodified) Carolina Skiff is...

Hi, Patrick, I grew up on the Jersey Coast (Ocean City), and can offer two pieces of advice worth considering. First, the September 10 date is certainly not written in stone. That date supposedly marks the end of the hurricane season, based on a long history. I wouldn't trust that date at...

Old Gollywobbler Brown Ale A traditional and true English Mild "session" ale. A rich, malty profile is punctuated by hints of hop flavor and aroma; a complex, understated fruitiness makes the signature statement. Specific Gravity: 1.045, Alcohol by volume: 4.75%. A product of Sea Dog Brewing...

Hi, You Maine and Down East Folks, Looking forward to reports of your Down East activities. While on the subject, have any of you been keeping up with the activities of Linda Greenlaw? I heard a while back that she dumped Swordfishing, to do some lobstering out of Isle de Haute. I later heard...

Hi, C-Sick, Good advice! I once cranked up the Wallas to do some tests, and had the boat cover on, and just rolled it far enough so I could get in the cabin door, so the cover draped over the exhaust port. I smelled something strange, and realized what I had done. No damage, but probably...

Hmmmmm, The PNW is sure famous for smoking the best fish in the world, but when it comes to BBQ, West Texas can't be beat. When you're talking beef, pork, and turkey, ain't nothin' better than slow cookin' over mesquite, usin' a 2 barrel cooker of the style shown here, from New Braunfels...

If a blade gets dinged, you have less imbalance if it is a four blade rather than a three blade. (25% as opposed to 33%). The chances of damaging a blade if you hit something are probably pretty much equal with either prop, because one way or the other, if there is junk, you'll hit it, and...

Hi, Charlie, According to the spec. sheet they send to the dealers, the height is 6' 10", and the draft (with fuel, less gear) is 10", which would put the overall height from waterline at about 6'. Then add whatever stuff you put on top like radar and such, and add bout a foot on top of that...

Hi, Ron, If you're seeing red, or half-red on the left side, then you should be able to boil water in ten minutes at the most. If not, your pot is probably not making good contact, as suggested by the others above. The only other suggestion I can make is to make sure that your fuel is fresh...
