Harvey... you are welcome. Butch

Ahh... guys just one thing. Who is Potter Stewart? After I post this I will try to look it up on the web... I like the thread on common sense. My grandfather had a third grade education and could "cipher" (as he called it) with the best of'em. After six years of higher education in the sciences...

It has been a long time since I jumped from a perfectly good air plane... however I had no choice. I was afraid of the Marine Gunny that had his foot in my back. All jokes aside... drifting earthward was as calm and peaceful as you'll get in the air. However, the best part of the DoD training...

I have the utmost respect for Cutter and the C Dory line. Cutter personnel have bent over backward in assisting me in convincing her the TomCat was for us. It is a great boat for short cruises. fishing, and just plain economical relaxing. Right now I am catching flack due to C Dory dropping...

I agree with the folks in the thread so far and would like to offer up one additional step on the chemical weld reinforced with glass tape or the like. This is going to sound simple (but it works). The product is GOOP. It comes in a tube like tooth paste and is pretty thick and great to embed...

Wrapped up for winter? :wink: Why now... in mid September? :cry Is the forecasts that bad... i.e. no boat, no fishing? I would go through withdrawal for sure.. :shock: Butch

Seeing as me and my Brothers... (and I mean real bloodline brothers) being originally from the hills of WV have a pretty effective way of handling situations like this :amgry . Unfortunately... I cannot put it in print no matter how effective our collective solutions have been in the past :wink...

Here in Maryland the dockside fuel is running at around $3.35 per gallon for gas. Diesel at the docks is almost the same. Here's the rub... the diesel fuel dispenser clearly states the fuel is dyed pink because it is NOT subject to the Maryland road tax. Offroad (pink) Number 2 diesel and home...

Charlie... Now you are talking! A boat lift is just what the doc ordered on the Chesapeake. Looks like you are off to a good start. Based on the current construction work rate, when do you expect to have it finished? Question... is is possible or even practical to winter store the "Choice" on...

Dusty... Amen to that! Butch

I agree with DaNag... this was a good thread. Only in America can we have expressed our views and personal feelings without government intervention or threatened by censorship. On the otherhand we know our emails are scanned by government agencies listening for perceived threats from those...

Mine is a 40 cal. Beretta semiautomatic :cigar . Not much use for it here at the head of the Chesapeake Bay :crook . Besides... my wife :love says :idea I'd probably shot a hole in the boat :embarrased .

Dave.... with the combination of duct tape and bailing wire, coupled of course with bailing twine :crook , you can fix just about anything :roll: ! If ya ever want to relocate to the east side of the land... you'd qualify as an apprentice hillbilly with that kind of resourceful talent! I ran a...

About a year ago before my mild stroke I looked at a 2004 C Dory 25 that was in GREAT shape at Cutter Marine in MD, however, the ONLY issue I did find on that loaded boat was the cracks in the gelcoat at the transom corners going up to the gunwales... the cracks were on both sides just as you...

Thanks so much for sharing the films as I did really enjoy them. Sorry to hear about the stroke and not being able to fly. I am in the same boat regarding a stroke. I can no longer dive or ride my Harley. We are very fortunate at this time having to to look up at six feet of dirt... strokes can...

Up at the head of the Chesapeake Bay we mainly see weekend live aboards of all kinds. We Marylander's have a pleasant name for them... we call'em the Pennsylvania Navy... as most come a couple hundred miles or more to get to the water. Good people to say the least. I too am perplexed as to why...

In a lifetime we can only hope to experience a friend such as Tyler. TyBoo is a fitting tribute to Tyler's memories not forgotten.

Sorry :sad :unlove for the loss of a dear friend... however, Mike carries the name well :thup .

Mike... I have been meaning to ask you :?: , however, after the mild stroke things don't reside in the old Gray Matter as they used to :roll: . Where'd you get the name of Tyboo :thup ? I know how I got the name Butch because dad said it was easier to spell than Darrell. Just wondering... bout...

Charlie... your idea :idea of our friend to go ahead and buy the Ranger and then tell his wife :amgry has merit. But... there is a down side to that plan :roll: . The following questions have to be addressed prior to him taking that bold and courageous step :wink . 1. Can he out run his wife...
