I won’t comment on what brand to get, but I would definitely recommend getting one that has the free fall down feature. Really nice for anchoring in the river.

C-Brats is by far the best. I tried the hull truth but honestly I am just inundated by ads there and can’t stand to visit it. This site is the best for c-dorys but also a lot of members came from sailing background and are knowledgeable about many other nautical topics as well. Only the search...

Yes, I was thinking more along the lines of using the bulb for filling the internal tank. I would rather pump the primer bulb for a minute or two compared to carrying extra gas cans and trying to fill the generator. Less chance of spilling fuel.

Maybe this is a dumb comment but could you plumb the generator with a fuel line with inline primer bulb and use it to fill the internal tank on generator? You would need a vent still on that cap fitting but you could just pump the gas in. That would eliminate the need to carry and pour gas into...

Thanks Dr. Bob, I was on the vagabundos webstite a few months ago and there was an announcement that the organization was undergoing some changes and it sounded to me like they were not functional any longer. Since they have a paid service I sent an email to inquire about the stability of the...

Does anybody have any recommendations for truck and trailer parking in La Paz? Marina de La Paz says they will likely have space but will not reserve.

Waypoint, that looks very slick. What generator is that?

Nicely done video

Very cool, I wish I had good winter boating like that close by

Looks good, I like it

If that area is all that you intend to repair I would just cut it out and re core and re glass. It's mostly under the tanks so you wont really see the patch job. Its a small area so not too big of a job. Could be done in less time that drying it. 1) Seems reasonable to me, might take a while...

Got it! Thanks Jody, and everyone else who contributed. I was clicking ‘open in new tab’ instead of ‘open image in new tab’

Well, I’m giving up. I am not able to post a pic in a thread using an iPhone. I tried in safari and chrome and I tried opening the image in a new tab like Jay described but nothing worked…

Tyboo, I can’t get that to work on my iphone

For small holes I found the best was to use an allen wrench in a drill. Usually I would cut the short end of the allen wrench a little shorter and then stick it in the hole. This worked pretty well. For the larger areas like lazarette hatches I made a little tool out of 1/4" aluminum:

Well, I just missed my edit window but I found these on the sailrite website. Thanks, Colby, for sharing this.

Colby, I like your curtains for Midnight Flyer. Is this extruded aluminum or vinyl? Do you remember where you got these? Thanks

Merry Christmas brats from the crew of the hammerhead

Thanks, that makes me feel better 👍

Thanks everybody for the replies. I haven’t checked compression, but it feels and sounds like it has good compression, but I haven’t put a gauge on it yet. I think I may need to take apart the carburetors, but I was really hoping I wouldn’t have to. The previous owner said that he had the carbs...
