Pat, Thanks Larry H

The Ranger Tugs factory website for the 23 is here: http://www.rangertugs.com/models.aspx?itemid=2634&prodid=12816&pagetitle=Ranger+Tugs+R-23 The price is just under $100,000 USD, but to get a trailer is +$10,740 and a few other options could bring the price up to about $125,000USD plus tax.

Pat, Great blog entries! Could you post the make, model and size of your USB monitor? Looks like what I need.

A couple of questions. Without a water line in the gel coat, how do you determine where to apply bottom paint? I see that the motor pod is in the water at rest. Can the pod be bottom painted? Can the motors be tipped up to clear the water?

Bob, John, Thanks for the replys. I will have to find a Tom Cat and test out the bunk.

Bob, Thanks for the reply. I will have to try out the bunk in a TC 255 to see. Can any TC255 owner comment on fuel economy? Does the boat get less than 2NMPG when cruising at 20-25Knots?

I have a couple of questions about the TC 255. My wife and I prefer to sleep fore and aft like in a CD 25. The bed in a Tom Cat looks like sleeping is side to side with the person on the inside having to climb over the other person. Would it be possible to sleep fore and aft if an...

Master Marine, Mt Vernon says they will have a C-Dory 22 and a 25 at the show, along with 2 Sea Sport boats. See: http://www.mastermarine.com/inventory-listing-boats/new Waypoint Marine will also have C-Dorys on display, but I don't know which ones.

Unless it is a major spill, i would let that sleeping dog lie!

To avoid spills on the water. Fuel up at a land gas station. On the water, fold up a 'diaper' (fuel absorbent pad) and hold or tape it over the vent fitting. Wrap another 'diaper' around the fuel nozzle over the fuel filler opening. Fill slowly and try to avoid the topping up auto shut off...

Harvey, Why not have the boat bottom painted, and then enjoy the summer without all that work?

Here is a link to download a pdf copy of the VTS manual. Something to read on these long winter nights. https://www.uscg.mil/d13/psvts/docs/userman032503.pdf On edit: Here is a link to a recreational boater VTS manual. https://www.uscg.mil/d13/psvts/docs/RecBoat_Pamplet_2013.pdf

Harvey, Life willing, we plan on being in the Broughtons this summer. Hope to run into you again with more time to visit.

Dr. Bob, It has been an honor to have met you and learn from you. Here's hoping for the best results from your procedure.

I would definitely replace the outlet, its much cheaper that replacing your burned up boat!

Sounds to me like a dead short at the outlet unless you were using the outlet at the time of the toast. I would replace the outlet and wires, using at least AWG 12 wires, as well as replacing any other damaged wiring.

Oh no!! Don't you remember what happened to the last "Grand Poobah"?

To get a photo album, send a PM (Private Message, in tab at top of home page) to either Tyboo or Da Nag, (the moderators) or both requesting a photo album. They will set up an album for you. After posting photos to your album, you can place the photos in your posts, or place a link in your...

I sent my e-mail and got the same reply today as Harvey. I encourage anyone who cruises the Broughtons to consider supporting Port Harvey Marina in this. We need all the facilities in that area.
