Roger – it will be my pleasure. However it may be hard to get Tom off his 27. A boat isn’t truly christened until it has fish guts on it and I know his 27 has been christened more than once so maybe he will help with the Marinaut. But first I have a tentative date for a test cruise with my...

Ruth & Joe – thank you for a great get together. As always, you did a fantastic job of organizing this event. I also want to thank all the Brats that contributed to making this an unforgettable experience. If I tried to remember everyone and thank them individually, I know I would forget many...

I will be loading up before sunup Saturday and should be there early Saturday Morning. And look what I am bringing with me. Dave www.tolandmarine.com

Things are looking good for me to make it there a little after daylight on Saturday morning. The boat won’t be finished but hopefully it will float. The engine is on but we are still waiting for a fuel sensor for one of the fuel tanks. Tom at Tom’s Outboard in Olympia says it will be here by...

Greg – The answer is yes, however the connecting linkage may have to be custom made and the type of main engine and kicker will have an effect on it. We will put a 90hp Honda on our demo boat and eventually a 9.9hp Honda kicker. When we do that, we will design a connecting linkage for the two...

Greg – there will be a swim platform on the stern with ladder. The kicker engine will be mounted on a bracket on the stern. We kept the engine well small so there would be ample room on both sides of it for bait wells, auxiliary fuel tanks, large coolers or other large bulky items. I will be...

Jim – I still have not been able to get the dimensions of the 22 C-Dory Cruiser’s door window. The only boats I have been seen lately are the newer one with the solid glass door and a 1982 Classic. If you are still interested, we can start a new thread asking if anyone knows the dimension of the...

marco – when I extended my 16 cruiser (C-Voyager), I built two saddle fuel tanks for the boat (not Coast Guard certified). Saddle tanks will help a great deal in balancing your load and increase your fuel capacity as well as freeing up space under the engine well. I believe it is one of the best...

Thank you guys for the encouragement and positive comments. Jim – you are right, most pressure is self imposed. The first boat will not be for sale. We need something to show people. Joe – we get lots of questions about price. Two years ago our goal was to price the boat in the upper thirty...

Tom & Susan – congratulations on the new boat. I can’t wait to see it up close and for real in Bellingham. Put some pictures of it in your album. Dave www.tolandmarine.com

Just when I was starting to remember everyone’s name. Now I have to start over. Dave www.tolandmarine.com

As most of you know we are running behind schedule with the launch of our boat. I did update our web site the 26th with the latest photos and info. Get to the photos from this page. I am really sorry I missed the Friday Harbor Get Together and have been under a lot of pressure to have the boat...

Robbi, Mark & Dave – thank you for the words of encouragement. I feel better already. It is starting to get dark so I think I will find my beautiful wife and take her up on our hill behind the house and lay in the middle of the field and watch the stars come up. I planted it last year after the...

I am embarrassed to make this post. I pushed as hard as I could but was not able to have the Marinaut ready for this gathering. It is close but will not be completed this week. We are still waiting for some minor parts that have not come in. I will not ever make another prediction on when the...

I know it. Only problem is, I upgraded the wheel from what the C-Dory has and I am afraid they will not fit. I may just have to go back to the C-Dory type of wheel just so I can have one of your hubs. I know it will be an option on the Marinaut. Those that like the C-Dory wheel can order it with...

Matt – don’t assume your statement is accurate. C-Dory/Sea Sport is not the only manufacturer advertising/monitoring this site. I know we do not build all the models you people want, but we have to start somewhere. The Marinaut evolved from comments and ideas from the members of this site with...

Bob – I have been monitoring the hits and visits to my site and Russia is the number two country visiting my site. Don’t really know what to make of it. The top five countries are: No. 1 = US No. 2 = Russia No. 3 = Poland No. 4 = Canada No. 5 = Ukraine Most visitors are Direct Request Then...
