    Starboard electronics mounting plate for a C-16

    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...

    Do you have a 2009 Toyota Tacoma?

    While polishing my Tacoma tailgate, I discovered a camera lens almost hidden in the tailgate handle assembly. Jumped on the web and discovered that in 2009, Toyota pre-wired a large number of Tacomas for a backup camera! Including the wiring and connector hidden in the headliner above the...

    Once a Brat always a Brat.

    Spent two days in Da Nag country checking out 16 cruisers and anglers. Came up with a little gem. Would you believe a 17 year old CD16 Angler with 116 original hours on the 50 hp outboard? Stored in a barn? Recent impeller and full service? Full camper canvas back? Original Pacific...

    16 footers, a comparison. Angler vs Cruiser.

    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...

    Barefoot bandit

    Hey you PNW boaters, looks like your nemesis has finally been caught. I suspect it's relieved a lot of stress from folks who leave their C-Dorys unattended. Don

    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

    New option for folks who ONLY have cell phones

    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...

    Hey Pat!

    Do ya need some more 5 star reviews for that little pub of yours? Then again the best kept secret in Snoqualmie might get out if the Brats start adding 'em. I like Yelp. It's another way to check on how my little nephew is doing. Don

    Best performance improvement under $40

    I've gotta get one of these. They're out of stock worldwide right now due to overwhelming demand, but they're relatively cheap ($39.95) and can be found on Ebay. Now if they could only work at the helm of a C-16 I'd install a big stereo and feel like I've got a tiger under me.... :o :o :o

    A fantastic modelmaker

    I was totally amazed by the slide show this modelmaker created. Not only is he an expert modelmaker, he's a darn good photographer as well. (Sigh) I've driven many of the cars he created too. Nostalgia for us old guys. Don

    Oil analysis applies to our diesel tow vehicles!!!

    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...

    Cars of the '50's and '60's.

    For those of us who are chronologically advantaged, here's a stroll down memory lane. I found no less than three cars in the flashbacks that I've personally owned, and for the true trivia collector, the last song, "Thunder Road" is the only song for publication that was ever performed by...

    Beer breakfast

    Primarily for my little nephew Pat's beer file, ya gotta try substituting beer for water in your favorite pancake batter. I use Dos Equis XX Amber simply because it's available and Pat's finest doesn't make it this far south. I can only imagine a short stack made with Snoqualamie. What a way...
