Many Brats put a piece of starboard on their transom so they can experiment with transducers etc. without constantly filling old holes and drilling new ones. I'm like that about electronics. Never totally satisfied, I like to experiment but after seeing and filling'/matching dozens of holes...

OK, it's been 12 months since the Stents, the doc has given me back my launch privileges, I have the itch and I'm ready to scratch it, just not with a 22. I'd like to learn the practical differences between the Angler 16 and the Cruiser 16. I've heard a Cruiser is heavy aft and harder to...

Good lord, 128 Mb of Ram. This puppy must be glacially slow. Hey Brent, whadda ya think? Junque? I wonder if it could run mapping software? At that price redundancy means "buy two or three and keep 'em in waterproof cans." :roll: Don

Off the landline grid? Check out the "AT&T TL92278 DECT 6.0 Bluetooth Digital Expandable Dual-Handset Cordless Phone with Caller ID and Answering System." It’s a viable option for people who are off the landline systems and using cell exclusively. Not a bad option for folks who have both...

Wild ride. 6.9 earthquake east and south of us here in San Diego. Near Mexicali in Mexico. Long rolling quake, stopped the pendulums on our Grandfather clocks but no damage at all. http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/latest.htm Strongest quake I've personally experienced, and I'm a geezer...

I think I have a Firefox problem. Strange error message follows: :cry Don

Pat, I first was exposed to oil analysis on submarines. We changed oil in our four (4) big diesel engines only when the analysis showed it was time to change. It was also invaluable as an early indicator of engine trouble because one could determine if bearings were failing long before getting...

November 2008 issue of Boating Magazine has a "Cabin boat shootout" for boats under $50k. Page 52, to be exact. Excellent showing. Definitely the most efficient boat in the shootout. :beer :thup :thup Don Temporarily boatless

For some reason I can't logon using my newly installed Firefox 3. Never had that problem with FF2, Irider or (yuck ptui) MSIE. Any suggestions? Most everything is setup default but it just won't accept username/password. Just reloads the logon screen. Don

I've had continual problems ranging from crazing to an outright crack in the gel coat on the gunnel at the joint between the cabin and the gunnel itself, located between the nonskid and the cabin. The factory authorized repair of the starboard crack during the first year of the warranty but...

It's the mini-me boat in the upper left of this photo. Great styling, but I think it's gotta be a one-off boat. Any clues anyone? Don

Ever get po'ed over paying a buck or two to call 411 for a phone number? Especially on the road using your cell phone? There is, of course, 800-373-4111, but you have to listen to a commercial and it won't dial the number for you. Enter Google. New free service, no commercials AND they dial...

I haven't seen this specific topic discussed before on C-Brats so here goes. What's the big deal about wanting a boat that has been used only in fresh water? A well maintained C-Dory is just as valuable wherever it's been. Engine flushing works. Most, if not all outboards do not touch the...

First the caveat; I've not tried it, only read about it, sounds intriguing. Mologogo is a new service that is able to track GPS enabled cell phones on certain wireless carriers. Nice if someone at home (or us C-Brats) wished to track a cruising C-Dory in areas that have cell phone service...

For all the C-Brat Wooters: Woot.com has the ThermoHawk 200 Touchless Infrared Thermometer today only for less than $18. Good enough to check yer trailer tires for overheating. Biggest drawback in their forum is that battery life is kind'a short and ya gotta hit up Radio Shack to get...

Raymarine is about to release v4.25 series software update to the C series displays. More details can be found at the Raymarine site Animated tides, animated current, more engine data, the ability to use most of the features of the Navionics Platinum cartography, and my favorite - a compass...

Just another safety reminder. Those slippery launch ramps can be embarrassing. :roll:
