I didn't know there was a dory fleet out of canon beach. I know about the pacific city fleet.

I was wondering the same thing. I do know that the ocean was not kind on the day they were out. Lot's of windwaves at short intervals. The good news is that it sounds like they were well perpared for an emergency (epirb ect..). Seems rare these days. Glad all are ok.

Wow, I am speechless... :shock: I never got a chance to officially meet Caty or Steve but always wanted to buddy boat out for some halibut/tuna action. It never worked out. :sad Steve... :hug Hang in there. :rose

I think I would of contacted my credit card company and had them reverse the charges. Sorry to hear about the poor experience.

You might check out edmunds.com you can price the vehicle with options and it will give you MSRP , Invoice, and most importantly what most people are paying for this vehicle, they call it "True Market Value". It's kind of helpful. Also, I would deal with the fleet manager (some are called the...

I believe that people have just adapted an anchor puller for use on crab pots. In my neck of the woods, an anchor puller system is pretty common on the rivers. The main thing you want to prevent is getting the rope in the prop while pulling anchor/ or pot. Here's a website with some photo's...

Sounds good, except the slow fishing part. I wonder what's up with the halibut fishing this year? I've heard people blaming long liners ect but I'm not so sure of that.

Does the wi-fi work pretty good on the new iphone? I wish it could work like a gps unit for my car. I know it has a gps receiver in it but I dont' think it would work like a garmin ect.... Maybe the next iphone?

I guess I should also say that my 10mpg while towing includes trips over the coast range (approx 2000 feet climb). I have not payed attention to the mpg while towing down the freeway because I don't often do that. I'm sure with no hills I would get much better.

I tow with a 2007 Ford Sporttrac. It has the v-8 engine and tows it just fine. Problem is I get 14 mpg in mixed driving and 10mpg while towing the boat. THe sporttrac with v-8 and towing package is rated to 6800 pounds I believe. Before this vehicle I had an 04' sportrac with a v-6 engine but...

I too had difficulty getting a call back or email repsonse from the factory. Not until I sent them a polite email telling them about my dissatisfaction with their service and that I could no longer recommend their boats to others. Then I got a response from Casey. She seemed responsive and...

My kicker is mounted on a "mini jacker" bracket. The motor clears the trim tab just fine and it doesn't sit further back than the main. Maybe a new bracket? Otherwise there's a $2,000 fix called a Tr-1 Gold autopilot but that's probably not the answer you were wanting.

Found this in Libery call's gallery. This sounds similar but not exactly what you describe. You can see more here: http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_albumName=LibertyCall&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php And obviously you not talking about this one either...

For some reason this makes me laugh. I guess it's the visual of launching from I-5.

Pend Oreille is a beautiful lake. When I was a kid we boated there for a couple summers. If I remember correctly it's very deep (like 1000 feet) and we always believed the navy had a submarine test station there but again we were kids. Anyway, on one end of the lake there are some very steep...

I always run with mine probably 1/4 to 1/2 way down. Not only is the ride smoother but the fuel economy is better.

Trim tabs really help smooth the ride out by lowering the bow. Most people have bennett trim tabs. I honestly don't know the model number. You could always call a c-dory dealer and ask them what kind they install but chances are another brat will chime in with the answer. Here's a picture of mine.

I have purchased from landfall navication before. They are reliable and sell it for a bit less than the $200. http://www.landfallnavigation.com/navionicsxl.html
