Thanks so much :D for sharing the fruits of your adventure. My hat goes off to you. You did a wonderful job in capturing the tranquility of the trip... Thanks again for sharing. :thup Butch

Oooo pics, can't wait! :D I have a hunch the pics will draw more questions from the Brats... me included. Keep us posted on your observations as you begin to enjoy the boat. :thup Butch

I wonder... would any of the Dory folks be interested in some used top of the line Scuba equipment. I have a new DII CF200 drysuit with integrated gloves, DUI harness weight system, dive computers, and BC's. The BC's are all tech diver rated. All my tanks are steel with high pressure DIN valves...

That is some funky looking boat and "swifter than a herd of turtles". What make is it anyway? Butch

Well put Ken! That would be me for sure! Butch

I was in Beatty, NV the day of the San Fran quake. I was to be in San Fran the following morning on business. Needless to say I did not go. That was the second close call involving quakes and me. In the first episode, I had left the Mt. St. Helen's USGA out post the day before the blast. The...

Mike... I showed my wife your birthday Pic and she said I looked like me... My gosh man I do not know who is the worse off? However, you look handsome to me... does this mean I am easy on the eyes also? Let's hope so. At my age and experience I will take whatever I can get! Happy birthday...

Thanks Dave! Great articles. I got one major question answered regarding the application of osmosis to gelcoat and glass webbing. For osmosis to occur liquid must be on both sides of the semipermeable membrane (here gelcoat). I had no idea that gelcoat, resin, and glass ws that porus. That blew...

I am certainly glad this all worked out. I figured C Dory would respond favorably given I have never heard of any bad press on the factory. 8) I know one thing... I am using this thread to TRY to convince my wife a C Dory is for us... more specifically a 25'. She says the cock pit is too...

Tony, gotta agree with Charlie on this one. The fact is something is at work causing the blisters... this will be a good lessons learned for us Brat's... this is the first time I have seen any blistering this extensive on one area of the boat and not above the water line. Sorry about the crack...

Tony, it appears from the pictures the blisters are oriented at or below the line where the bottom paint was applied. If that's the case it would be neat if you could give us Brat's the information as to how the original gelcoat was prepared for the bottom paint, the technical names of anything...

Sweet! :wink

Thanks Charlie... :D

Joe, I agree with you. We all talk boats... Just like Walter Mathau and Jack Lemon did in the movie Grumpy old men about fishing. Guys and gals.... that's us. They lived to fish together...loved the water however, you can only do that so long until the personalities come out. The one thing we...

I to miss the site when I am on the road (or in the air as it be). It is a great bunch of gals and guys and we are blessed with wisdom, levity, and compassion in our writings. We all have a love of the water and that is the thread that binds us. TyBoo Mike "and his cohorts" built this site...

You know guys and gals.... accidents do happen. Vice president or otherwise... so seeing that I am not a late night comedian all I can say for sure is, If Dick and I go fishing on my boat (hypothetically of course) I'd ask him to check his shotgun at the dock. :smile It's time to be...

I don't know much about sperm whales and black cod, :idea however, I do know a scuba diver that has frequented soaking blue crab lines and crab pots in the upper Chesapeake Bay to scarf up a bushel of crabs to steam at dockside. :embarrased

Mike, I don't want to say anything, however, it looks like the poor horse's belly came within a gnat's-T-hiney-boo of lowering 6" when you saddled up! They say (my wife actually) that a boat (actually my wife's competition...or so she says) is nothing but a hole in the water to effortlessly pour...

The thought of Tiffany's brought back a not so memorable time in my life. You see.... I grew up as a nerd of the first order. Pocket protectors, HB1 and HB 2 pencils, slide rule, and at times adheshive tape holding my glasses together. NO KIDDING! Back to horses... I can remember this young...

Mark, as you so eloquently put it, competition brings out the best in competitors and technology. My hat goes off to you and C-Dory Marine along with a sincere thanks to what you all have introduced to the boating industry. I have been ribbed by my coworkers (the real nerds) for really extolling...
