Looks just like the CC 23. I wonder why there are no company logos on the boat... photoshop?

While I was attempting to connect my Uniden Polaris DSC VHF to my Garmin 178c plotter this week, I discovered, to my great dismay, that the Polaris doesn't backfeed a signal to the GPS. There is simply no provision for it. So I started poking around on the interweb and noticed that some radios...

OK. For a minute I thought I was going crazy...

I went to the CC website and I can't find anything that says they are out of business... where are you guys finding that info?

Thanks for making the change Bill. I meant no offense by my poor netiquette comment. I know you and Mike work hard just keeping this fine site up and running without having to deal with nitpicky details like this. Thanks again... -Rod

I know I can shift-click or right-click and "open in new window" (or new tab with some browsers). It's just smoother when a website opens its internal links in the same window and opens external links in a new window. I know it can be done on this site as the link to the factory website on the...

Bill, is there any way to make the new imbeded links open in a new window rather than simply diverting users to the target site? I hate feeling like I got hijacked while cruising the C-Brat site.

Chuck- Just a note. The positive foam floatation is a requirement for themanufacturers or boat builders. Owners can add, move, or simply remove any of the foam with no reprecussions. If you were concerned about it, the foam could simply be moved to another location. Like behind the tanks in the...

Well, I only made a few runs with the big tanks before I sold her. But there was a long run out to Latouche (150 miles round trip). The boat handled just fine with the tanks, loaded and empty. I didn't notice any adverse effects I could pin on the forward position of the tanks. And I loved...

Amen to that...

I've heard rumors of some folk removing the pedestals and sitting on a cooler. Don't know if that would help or not. Come to think if it, maybe that was in a 14 footer...

Can somebody please explain the "piece of mind" aspect of having twins. Seems to me that without the ability to push the hull past displacement speed using just one, you might as well have a lightweight, efficient 6-8 hp kicker. And if half of a set of twins can get you up on step, why have two...

Um... yeah, what he said. :thup Really though, there is no legitimate scientific equation for getting the best performing boat/motor/prop combination. Just when you think you've figured it out, you'll add a passenger. Or empty out the water tank. Or boat a big halibut. Or add a set of...

I would have to say I would buy any of the above if the price was right. I'm always looking for a bargain. But for the purposes of this poll, I think a 3-blade stainless would be my screw of choice. At least unless somebody can convince me otherwise...

Still nothing here that would keep me from running my SS prop. I just rely on the rubber hub bushing as a "fuse". Might not work every time. But, heck, even CatDogCat's aluminum one still allowed significant damage during a prop strike. On a couple of other threads there are discussions of...

Hey Greg. I was in Los Anchorage the other day with a little time to burn, so I dropped on over to Dewey's and checked out the spring thingy you have mounted under the captain's seat on Redfox. So, after havin' it under your rear for a year or so, how do you like it? Worth the $50?

Falco- The link you gave doesn't work... got another?

In theory, in the event of a prop strike, the hub should spin before doing damage to the lower end, right? Does anybody here have any first hand experience with a prop strike damaging a lower unit? Was just wondering how real the risk is when running a SS prop.

I wonder if you would gain or lose speed with a different pitch? And what about fuel economy? What would be better, dual fans or one big fan with a smaller "kicker" fan? Oh, wait... What was this thread about again? :?:

True, but a large force (F) is what you want, right? That's what propels the bullet at such high velocities. I believe that it's the implications of Newton's 3rd law that's giving you fits... ... also an engineer... :wink:
