Mark, There’s no showers, check online as it’s not free when stadium events are on. Out of the way unless you want to see Jacksonville. There are 6 MPH manatee zones between the bridges. At the North end of Pablo Creek ATONS have been changed from what's on the Garmin 2023 G3 chip. We...

Hi Gary, I hope I didn’t come across as advising ‘the right props’ for Ed’s boat. The ‘right props’ are the ones that allow the engines to achieve the RPM’s at WOT that the engine manufacturer recommends (5000-6000 for my F150’s) when the boat is loaded the way it most commonly is. Higher end...

Hi Edward, Ten years with our TC255 has shown that it is quite sensitive to loading. Five (group 31?) stern batteries may be a record at 375 pounds. We get two nights at anchor with three group 31 FLA running the 3.0 CF fridge but turn down the thermostat with the last opening of the fridge...

oops, sorry I tried to send this as a PM and failed! John

Hi Steve! Did you guys buy the Mainship 39 (?) for your Loop? It's my first post, but I did post on the Facetrash C-Dory group about your sale. Hope it helps. What are your plans? We planned to do the TS to Georgian Bay to Mackinaw this summer, but the crazy wildfire smoke in Canada is...

Bob, We bought a third emergency Rule Gold 2,000 GPH pump as a backup with alligator clips and a ten foot discharge hose that can be stashed in a reasonably compact package between the three group 31 batteries. Thanks for that advice and insight! The heat index in the shade is only 114...

Colby, I bought the 48x22 Renogy $140 100w flexible panel because it fits on the curved roof behind the Coleman AC unit. It can be stored in the aft head hanging up. Later I decided to just glue it down on the roof (Renogy advises a structural silicone adhesive). I’m going to put it over...

Bob, No water in the cabin and (surprisingly) none in the aft port cockpit. A few square inches of the aft bracket was underwater, but it’s a bit below the level of the cockpit floor/bridgedeck. We keep a spare bilge pump and 20A float switch at home and connected the pump to the overboard...

Well, what we did today was to save the boat! At 06:40 the Base Marina Manager called, saying Cat O’ Mine was listing badly and “taking on water.” Last night a series of severe thunderstorms moved through, with over 14 to 16 inches of rain on base and winds exceeding 70-75 MPH. One guy...

Jack, The design brief is a safe, protected, economical, comfortable outboard trailer boat that can be towed anywhere in the continent 24/7 WITHOUT A PERMIT. Therefore it must fit within the federal 8.5 foot beam and 13.5 ft height on the trailer. We trailer to upstate NY in under three...

Cat O’ Mine hosted the Official Photographer of the Pensacola Navy Yacht Club for the Navy Cup Regatta in Pensacola Bay. This is the most important race of the year for our club. We are the only members who own (but don’t race) a power boat. Once we even won the Powerboaters Of The Year...
