I purchased a roll of a fuzzy felt-like material to replace the liner on my last boat. It was a downeast lobster boat that was used as a workboat and the interior wasn't in great shape. I never got into the job as it would have been too time consuming to complete. At any rate the purpose of...

Colby, lately (the past few years) crabbing season doesn't open till mid July. The WDFW hasn't been very helpful in allowing for people to make their plans based on fishing seasons. They've been sporadic at announcing seasons based on catch results etc. However, if you are in to shrimping...

Just a couple of thoughts on the matter as I was in the market for a boat two years ago. First: All you have to do is look at the prices of all the other brands, they are all going up like gang busters which makes the Cdory not look so bad. The other aspect to that is that Cdorys hold their...

Thanks Bob, I will have to look into that. My main concerns would be are the LifePo4 batteries compatible with my present Lead Acid battery charging system. I also am not sure that solar panel can be used directly in conjuntion with my present battery charging. Im sure these questions are...

We got the Iceco JP30 to keep in our '25 on fishing trips. We use it as a freezer to freeze fish fillets on extended trips. It has performed well as long as the batteries dont get low in which case it will shut down. It hold the cold well so nothing thawed overnight. We are now thinking a...

Dori and I are tentatively plan on being there provided all the stars are lined up . Hopefully the weather is a little more cooperative that last year. What we didn't get for Spring we are sure making up for it with a beautiful Fall. Hope to see you all there again. Dave (Seawitch)

If you're trying to come up with a "finished edge" around the perimeter of the cutting board I would suggest making a jig of the hole you want to end up with and use a router to cut the surface as deep as you like. Not sure of the layout of the counter if you have room to use a router. If not...

Hello Mike. Congratulations on your Ranger Tug Purchase. We live in Port Orchard, Wa and have traveled in both directions as we once owned a house on Anderson Is. October can be a really pleasant time to cruise in the NW and I'd say that for most years plan A is doable. if the weather stable...

A big thank you to Coleen and Gary and all involved for putting on the Friday Harbor CBrats get together. Dori and I had a great time and will be looking forward to the next get together. Hopefully the weather will cooperate next time. After having spent a night in LaConner we cruised home to...

Hi Danny D, I just went out and measured my CD-25 to give you an idea of what you are looking at. Right now I'm right at 9' with VHF antenna down as far as it will go. It's only about 4-5" higher than the Radar dome which sits on a radar arch that is about 9" high. So there are a lot of...

post in error sorry

We've spent the last 10 winters in our 5th wheel and have learned that "great stuff" expandable insulation works very well for that. something else that mice will avoid is Bounce Fabric Softener sheets that you throw in the dryer. Just stuff one in areas you think might be an access. Seems...

Welcome DNS, As far as the wind goes I'd say 26mph cross wind isn't horrible under the right circumstances. When towing any thing there are some basics to adhere to. You've probably already considered these but, First of all what is the truck rated to tow and does it have the hitch to match...

Thank you for the responses to my rigging question. Bob, I like the idea of how you got the back of the boat elevated using the trailer and cribbing. I will use a combination of both your suggestions to get this project done. Thanks again.

Looking for suggestions on how to safely rig my CD-25 to make clearance from the bunks on the trailer so i can apply a couple coats of bottom paint. I would like to get the boat up a couple inches above the bunks to get a roller between the boat and the bunks. I dont want to apply undue stress...

Does anyone out there have a recommendation as to a particular brand and size of portable cooler/freezer to get. I am considering something around 40qt size to put up and freeze ling cod, shrimp while fishing in the San Juans. I see there are a lot of brands out there that claim to be good at...

Thanks Bill for finding this and Harvey for describing it. It's called a 'double mooring cleat'. Looks good. I tried to call New Found Metals but got no answer. I'm located in Port Orchard so not too far for me to go. they may be cost prohibitive though at almost double what other chocks are...

Thank you Bob and Peter, I hadn't considered adding cleats in this location as I felt it was somewhat redundant as there is a cleat already in place. However after seeing what the configuration looks like on Thataway I may have to reevaluate my options. Thank you both Dave

My 25' didn't come with chocks in the bow area. I am planning on installing them and would like to hear form anyone who has installed them and could give me any insight as to what size to install and any issues I may encounter while installing them. Currently I am thinking the 4 1/2"...

I am looking for information that will help me add 25' of chain to my existing 25' of 1/4' high strength. Is there a link to connect the two that will go thru the Lewmar 700 windlass without complications? I drug anchor a couple times and feel that added chain will help keep the anchor laying...
