Are you saying the floor in the cockpit is plywood then on my 1981? And an 1988 is Balsa?

Just by way if interest did you watch what method he used to check for core rot? Did he use a meter or by tapping? I wonder what is the best method as it’s time to go over my boat again Thx I want to stay on top of this kind of thing

I also was thinking of a camper back for my 22 Angler Will listen to your suggestions

My last two trips to Gulf Islands in October had to be cancelled due to wind I would say the earlier in fall the better

I would go with the 22’. That is what I have and I would not want anything less either on the water or for room inside I bought an angler as they are cheaper Good luck!

Thank you for your inputs Heat gun it is - used with care!

Hi Everyone Just want to ask what your tricks are to remove very old vinyl boat registration numbers. I have heard heat helps Thanks David

Thank you so much! Will buy some Amaz tomorrow and give it a try!

Hi All Just working thru this issue now - windows are so filled with salt spots can hardly see in the sun! I rubbed window with bar keepers friend as suggested but haven’t noticed any change as of yet (Arm is tired!) Do you think it would be ok to put the cream on wool pad on my drill to do a...

I have pulled my kids in all different things in different boats since they were little. I have learned that the tubes like your picture are a much easier pull than the wake boards and the skiis. Now my kids are young adults and I still pull them on their wake boards once in awhile with my...

In case it’s of any interest to any other C Brats, there is a great YouTube video by Tony Fleming “Venture to Alaska” It’s not a C Dory by any means but I find his pictures fascinating as he documents his trip both to and around Alaska. Could be a great planning tool for those planning a trip...

I go to the Gulf Islands often in the summer months from Crescent Beach. I love looking at my paper chart for the big picture before I go, but use Navionics as I go

Just for reference, I had to do brakes on my roadrunner double axle trailer last year. It also included new actuator and one new axle ( got damaged when bearing literally blew out) My bill at Crescent Beach marina near Vancouver was close to 3k Hope that helps

At the Vancouver boat show this year, Cutwater had a big display on (as well as a few other dealers like Tug). Cutwater was my friends and family favorite. As life would have it, a week after the boat show my son did a Coast Guard training week in Tofino. One of the other trainees happened to...

Sleep C The words you wrote were poetic and amazing. I read them out loud to my wife this morning. She was touched. Thanks I am so proud to belong to this C Brat family! C Val

I really appreciate all your thoughts and insight into what is considered a "need" for preparing my boat for retirement. Its an older 1988 angler but has a 2006 f90 with only 200 hours. The trailer is only 3 year old. I will go with the radar, cover for the back and AIS for my new...

I really enjoy reading this thread. At 60 I am planning retirement but still working for a bit. I am saving as much as I can but trying to balance that with trying to knock down some of those big expenses for the boat before I retire. Just bought a new chartplotter HDS9 Gen 3 for 2k at...

On our recent trip to Hawaii I was practicing my celestial navigation quite a bit. It's a fun hobby for me, but I wouldn't want my life to depend on it as did the sailors of old time. I have such respect for them! I admit I cheat a bit. Although I use an old-time sextant for measuring the...
