The Road Runner trailer I bought is the 4800 series for carrying weight up to 5950 lbs. I am so glad I went with the heavier tandem since my last trailer was single axle. There are so many advantages! You are exactly right in saying the bow ring is now tucked under the winch roller. If you...

Here is the design change I did. I slid the winch arm up near the top of the post and then added the oak wedge and then put the strap under the roller instead of over it. That was the magic number for my boat. If a person knows this from the start, just make sure Mike does the equivalent of this...

I bought a new Road Runner trailer from Mike last year for my 22'. It is a tandem trailer with disc brakes and led lights. I went with carpeted bunks and I am glad I did. My biggest challenge in the beginning was setting up the trailer for the boat. When I first loaded it on the trailer the bow...

I had a overheat alarm for the first time this summer. I didn't even know what was happening at first. I do know it was rough and I was lugging a bit with a heavy load, but I really think it was seaweed partially blocking my intake. There was a lot of stuff in the water and after I stopped and...

I wonder how our C Dorys would rate in the context of that article?

This is about all the boating I am doing these days with the rough weather in the Strait of Georgia!

Funny story with a great meaning! Thanks for sharing it! :D :D :D

Now I wished I lived in Nova Scotia!

My first C Dory was a 1982 Angler with original 70 hp Johnson Even though the time came for me to upgrade I still have strong feelings of attachment for that solid ole boat--my first C Dory. I don't know if you ever get over that. Still have its picture up in my office. If anyone wants to see...

Thank you so much for your thoughts and input! To me the collective wisdom of this club is the most valuable part of owning a C Dory !

Hi Everyone I was given a new Std Horizon VHF last year with built-in gps but no AIS I want to buy a AIS receiver such as Icom 5000 but they say there is transmission loss of 3.5 dB I don't know how much that means or if I should worry about it. Should a person install a separate antenna or...

Another angle I have been thinking about is the probability factor. For 20 years they did the same thing twice every day and then one day.... How often has this happened to all of us! For 10 years we launched the boat without issue and then one day we forgot the plug! How many times have we...

I imagine there could be lawsuits coming in future days for whatever reason. It makes me wonder as a boat owner who takes guests out periodically, am I putting myself at risk by being nice to my friends? Is there special insurance required if something goes wrong?

I also have been following this story so close as I used to work in the area and know it fairly well. I just have a sick feeling inside thinking about it What amazes me is how fast things can happen on the water ! How often do you hear "there just was no time..." My son just got accepted...

Eric Why are you selling your boat? From your posts it seems you have enjoyed it so much!

Thanks guys for the great ideas! I will see what I can come up with. Great advice! (my wife thanks you also) David and Val

We camped out last weekend on our 1988 C Dory at Alouette Lake BC We had a lot of fun except for the bugs! Our older window frames do not seem to have a track for a window screen to fit into. There is only one sliding track for the window itself to slide in and a half a track where the fixed...
