I had the 4 wheeled Powermover for many years. Surface must be asphalt, does not work very well on gravel. Surface should be level, when turned OFF it will free wheel ( no braking ). Used it with the 23' and the 26' Olympic boats, it does not turn on a dime do to the tandem axle twist resistence...

That is the same grade I gave to my AIS manufacturer, for the same reason you encountered. alan

I did not use a Digital Yacht AIS, but I have used there USB adapter cable. Which had green and yellow little led lights at the USB plug. They would flash indicating the AIS sending or receiving data. My laptop had to be told what communication port the AIS was plugged into. For me, it was a...

Does your boat have trim tabs ? Yes, then drill 1 1/8 hole thru the tab and mount the pump stem thru the hole. You will then have cruise speed water pickup. To drill the hole use a bi-metal hole saw. alan

As I sit here typing this, I am looking out my dining room window at Rosario Strait. It has a glassy texture right now, and the San Juan ferry is approaching the dock. The C-dory will get you there dry, but slower than a deep vee hull. No doubt, the C-dory and the Arima are fuel efficient...

Have done this several times. Remove the motors now and any rigging in the way ! Debond works great. Start along the top horizontal surface, squirt the debond along the caulk seam, then using wood wedges start at a corner by pounding in the wedge, squirt more of the debond while cutting caulk...

Know two batteries are the same, regarding voltage and specific gravity readings. That is why I used the word " about" twice. The metering device should not produce a spark. A spark would indicate a "load", by the device. Allowing a battery to go to a low voltage reading, takes some of it's high...

As described, your wand touching should have been fine. If your meter was set to read volts. Check your start battery to see if it is still good, and not shorted out. Charging a really depleted battery with your engine alternater, can be hard on the engine alternater. Fully charge the start...

There are very few sealant products that will "stick" to plastics. Here is a product that even " sticks " to Starboard Kingboard. Sudbury Elastomeric Sealant, manufacturer says can be used on plastics. Above or below the waterline. Many boatyards apply 5200 to plastic fittings, but this product...

Chester, Thanks for looking at the info & pics. And thanks for the kind words about the boat, it is a SUPER nice boat. alan

Hello Chester, PM sent Thanks

Buying a rental property, need some of the money out. The RF-246 is a much more substantial boat. Weighs more than the 25 C-dory, has a huge interior. Stand up head room in the cuddy is 5' 9", you can sit on the v-berth and have a foot of headroom over your head. And the way they run in the...

Are there any C-Brats who have seen the Ranger Tug 23 during the Seattle Boat Show week ? Are you wanting more space, and a built in head. Take a look at my Rosborough RF-246.

We had a trade deal, but the other party decided to stay put. So we are actively looking for someone that wants to move up in size. This Rosborough is SUPER NICE, when you see the interior space and finish you will be very impressed. Thanks

Hello Chromer, The boat is coming out next week to clean the bottom, I will reply with the height measurement you requested. Thanks

Hello Chromer, The total length is 33' 6" , I don't know the trailered height. Next time the boat is on the trailer, I will make a measurement. PM me about a good time to see the boat. Thanks

Sorry ! The boat was mounted with Scotty's, but that would be easy enough to fix. Thanks

Rosborough owner looking to downsize, will trade for a 22' Angler or maybe the Cruiser model. The boat must be nice shape, with the later hull shape. The Rosborough is in the water, ready for water demonstration in Anacortes.

C-Brats is without question the "Best" boater web site on the internet. It is informative, and easy to navigate. And it is a "Great" resource to buyers, owners, and sellers. Thanks to the people who have made it the "best". alan

Yes the 23' is part of the Ranger family, and they would be certainly partial to there smaller offering. But, opinions from outside the family would be more valuable and less partial. All boats, are compromises. And that might be the definition of "thoughts about specific boats".
