Has anyone tried an electric bow mount trolling motor? Thinking saltwater version with bluetooth, tied to Lowrance HD9... Why you might ask? I love my C Dory and want to make it just a little more than it is: 1) better at trolling into the wind 2) autopilot 3) anchor mode for fishing over...

Help please :o)

Can an Administrator or Moderator email me? Thanks!

After attending our first C Brat gathering on the St Johns river in Florida, it's going to be hard to continue to enjoy our very experienced 1987 vintage boat without sprucing it up a bit! Man, talk about boat envy:o) Shopping for an east coast boat to use winters for a few years, but would...

Anyone done this run? Curious about prevailing winds and currents, do they favor the run north, or the run south?

Two years ago I posted wondering if any C-Brats were interested in doing a boat swap. I was surprized that a forum/group as large as C-Brats had never generated any kind of sub forum or even a thread on this topic. I understood better after hearing more obstacles than genuine interest...

Buying a C Dory in Florida, registering in Oregon (where I live). I find the Florida rules confusing but in short it looks like they want 6% unless I leave immediately, and if I come back and keep the boat there more than 90 days? $3000 more or less. I am planning less than 45 days of...

Wife and I have decided to take the plunge and buy a CD25. Trouble is we want to start our cruising in the SE and we live in Oregon! Can anyone recommend a surveyor (or even a CD25 owner) who is very familiar with this model that can inspect one for me in the Ft Myers area? List of known...

Would appreciate recommendations. State Farm insures all my stuff but declared coastal Florida ineligible :o( TIA!

My wife and I are going on our first C-Dory cruise March 4-18, ICW, S Florida. Getting jazzed. And looking for tips for first timers! Thinking clockwise from the east, south around the keys, up through the Everglade Wilderness Waterway, and return via Okechobee Waterway. Sound right...

Recently bought a 1987 22' Angler. Blue gelcoat accents were badly oxidized, so with the help of a very experienced compound buffing dude, tackled it with medium followed by fine buffing compound. Here's before. You can barely see (or at least we could in real life) a bunch of white spots...

With all the great cruising and C Brat gatherings all over the US, I am surprized I have not been able to find any threads on swapping time on boats. I'd like to boat the ICW north FL to Carolinas, and Cheaspeake Bay sometime. But I don't really want to trailer my boat 3000 miles to do it...

This winter while cross country skiing my wife and I laid plans for starting to do some cruising with a trailerable starting in a year or two. Had the great pleasure of meeting the wonderful C-Brat ambassadors, Bob and Betsy Burks who gave us a nice tour of their beautiful CD 25 SEAPAL and that...
