7 boats here already. The welcome C-Brats banner is hung. The ladies have already been in the hot tub. One of the boats, a 22 cruiser "Last Dance" from New York is here. And is for sale. For the wanna bees coming this is one of the nicest 22' cruisers out there and is the much sought out...

If you have never done it, I would suggest a trip to the top of the Gateway arch.

Welcome Anderson's Wanna bees are welcome. We were all Wanna bees at some time. We all love to show and talk about our boats and our cruising adventures. See you there.

I have an older model of the MR040. The white noise thing would not work, because the compressor turns on and off. It is very quiet and subtle, but it is noticeable even on the back deck sitting on a rubber mat. More of a subtle vibration than a noise. Very subtle, does not bother me or the...

Many of the Brats have the Engel's. The power usage is quite low. They are pre set up to run on 110 or 12v and you keep both plugged in. Whenever it senses 110 volt power it switches. I have the marine model and it stays on the back deck in all weather. A C-brat buddy has one he got in New...

Although our itinerary is not set in stone and everyone is welcome to do as they please, here is a basic schedule for the gathering. Wednesday, September 3rd Some C-Dorys are scheduled to arrive at the Alton Marina. Thursday, September 4th Nothing planned for day activities, Go cruising, swim...

I have both an EU 1000 and EU 2000 and both are fine units. On my boat I have a swimstep on the Port side. I had just has enough room between the main and kicker on the Starboard side for the Eu 1000 installation. I wanted a permanent ready to use location, same with the AC. I have a small fan...

I meant Carbon Monoxide, Bob, the microwave is a Haier HMC610BEBB. I have a white one in the boat and a black one in the camper. The AC is Fridigaire ERA 052 XT7 Both are the old school analog twist knob controls rather than digital. The non digital controlled units are getting harder to...

Although the EU 1000 run the AC fine, It really works hard on the microwave. I hunted long and hard to find a small microwave that has a minimal draw. A lot of the real small microwaves draw a bunch of power. I have one with a 600w output, but it draws 850w, The EU 1000 will barely run it and...

i bought my red cap a couple of years ago as a stand alone unit for about $30. Don't know if you can buy one separately, I believe there is another similar brand out there. Others have simply drilled and tapped a OEM Honda fuel cap. The EU 1000 and EU 2000 have a engine vacuum fuel pump, so...

On my window unit permanent installation the unit extends 11 inches aft of the rear bulkhead and 2inches into the cabin. Not sure if 2 inches would allow you to raise the lid on the stove or not. It does not get in the way and it is there when we want it. I would not want to mess with...

If you go roof top, get the low profile Coleman Polar cub, 9200 BTU I don't have personal experience with this unit, but most RV forums folks report no problems running this unit off of a EU2000. I do have a standard Coleman Roof unit on a RV, 13,000 BTU I think and the EU 2000 will not run it...

I have arranged for a very well know celebrity to stop by during the gathering for a short visit. Still working on whether it will be Friday or Saturday.

Since you are in St. Louis, Why not join us at the Mississippi River Brat Gathering the weekend after Labor day at the Alton Marina? Talk with a bunch of friendly C-Brats about real world towing and cruising experiences. There will be a bunch of 22's and 25's there.

You don't need the boat. Just drive down for a day or 2 and visit with the old gang and meet some of the new gang.

Just a few blocks from the marina is the National Great Rivers Museum, opened in October of 2003, it is operated by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. Located adjacent to the Melvin Price Locks and Dam, this 12,000-square-foot facility is the result of a collaboration of the Corps and the...

Another thing that helps is window tint. We did not tint the front windows. But went to a common auto tint place and had a very light tint with 98% UV reduction put on the other windows. Noticeable reduction in the heat coming in the windows Even thought it is a very light tint another...

We run our 5kw window unit on the boat with a EU 1000 generator. The generator actually works much harder running the small microwave than running the AC. Our window unit is permanently mounted in the rear window over the galley

Sounds like a great trip Ken. The Alton Marina is like a County Club on the river. Nicest rest rooms that we have ever seen at a marina. And a swimming pool and 2 hot tubs, bar-b-que pits and all slips are covered and in the shade. See you and Pat there in September. Tex and Sharon
