I just have a few questions for a local... Thank you.

I often wonder why we go away from designs that have proven throughout history they work great, and are the best practical option. There are many examples. The traditional ships wheel is a design that I have always been a fan of, and someone had to literally reinvented the wheel. I recently...

Please disregard my blank post, it wont let me delete. As usual this wacky format will not allow me to attach any photos, to a forum..... Was hoping to show photos from a great day of tuna, but going to give up after 45 min. Guess thats why I dont come on here much anymore..... If...

I have punched all the numbers and read all the posts. I almost have my mind made up, looking like I am going to go with a Highlander..... I am tired of the Sequoia (12MPG) just isnt good enough for all the other times I use it for things other than towing. I need a vehicle that can tow 5k, not...

Im on a mission to find a knowledgeable C-brat here who calls their home port Frisco. I have a few questions if anyone is kind enough to share. Thank you.

Has there been any adventurous C-Brats here that have taken their C-Dory to Cuba yet? I thought there was a discussion a few years back, but from a quick engine search of the key word "Cuba", there doesnt appear to be one who's posted about it here. I am also surprised how few videos on youtube...

I have an EZ loader single axle for my 22 cruiser with rollers. Im tired of the constant roller maintenance and scratches caused by them. I like the idea of carpet bunks, along with the boat being a little bit lower as it sits on the trailer, not having to back in as far and getting less wet at...

3 things I would like to accomplish this fall winter or spring; Experience prawning, Become familiar with Puget Sound and surrounding areas, and have closer look at how others are fishing their C-dory's. I have the halibut / bottom fishing / tuna /crabbing figured out down here in...

Seeking suggestions for my predicament.... I have a single axle EZ Loader trailer. It carrys a c-dory 22 cruiser, loaded light. Schwabs packed inner and outer bearings with seals, complete service for 225$. Each time they do the service I get about 5 launches into the salt before both wheels...

Does anyone how many 22 cruisers were made by each year, starting in '87? I would be intersted to know.

I know some things are just too good to be true, could this be an exception to the rule? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6dneOqX3Ek This stuff is not cheap but if it works as advertised will save weeks of yearly maintenance. Any opinions? I'm considering giving it a whirl...

In the recent photo activity, last week I saw a Cbrat who uploaded project photos to his album where he removed his table and rebuilt a new floor storage painted white, and added two pedestal seats. Now I cannot find this album for the life of me. Does anyone remember the name of the vessel...

After meticulously attacking every screw in my boat with the "overdrilling thickened epoxy "technique 2 years ago, I realized yesterday there was one spot right beneath my nose that I had overlooked. The three hinges for my cabin door. "Surley the factory wouldnt have put screws into dry balsa...

Replaced two older looking wires today that were connected to the cigarette lighter socket. When i finished and connected the battery back up, the entire cabin filled with smoke. I quickly disconnected the battery. These same two wires were completely burnt, all the insulation gone. I removed...

What is the process to get through the major dams on the Columbia River in my boat? I know Bonneville, The Dalles, John Day, and McNary all have massive barges who pass through every day, but how would an average Joe like myself go about doing this if I wanted to cruise a few days up the...

Spent all day on the Ocean yesterday 7/6/16 out of Garibaldi. Temp was 75 F, 0 ft. swell, 1 mph winds. Pretty much like a bath tub for 12 hours. Finished it off with an ideal sized Halibut.

Cannot seem to figure this out, after three years of trying. Thanks for the help[/img]

I have been looking for a few months now in the c-brat albums for an album where the owner put a porthole in the middle of the cabin facing forward on a 22 cruiser. I really liked the way it looked and now I can not find it for the life of me. I am interested to see how they made it fit flush...

Hoping to find a c brat in western Oregon or sw Washington who wouldn't mind letting me watch and learn all the ins and outs of gel coat maintenance, buffing - waxing, and cosmetic minor repairs. I have read countless forums, books, and viewed many youtube diy videos on the subject, but have not...

I recently removed and inspected a cleat and am toying with the idea od experimenting with bedding it with butyl instead of bedding compound. The core is protected with rhe overdrilling and filling process. What do you think? Bad idea? How bout butyl for rebedding the bow rails? Thanks.
