    Air conditioning options for CD 22 or Venture 23

    To each his own. I could not bring myself to cutting a hole in my roof, but I did cut one in the rear bulkhead. Check out another option for mounting your AC. Slide out to use, in to store, or leave it home in the cool seasons. No lifting required. Pics section "EZ DUZIT".

    cabin privacy curtains

    We made our own curtains. I too hate velcro, as the velcro holds well but the glue typically peels away from the surface. You can screw snaps into the holes used to hold the window brackets to the walls. Easily restored to original condition if not satisfied. We love the results. Curtains...

    SO WHAT DID YOU DO WITH OR ON YOUR C-DORY TODAY??

    With the fridge, 6hp kicker, and batteries, and captain all on the stbd side of the boat, the list became Titanic like. So I moved both batteries to the port locker. That leveled things out a bit.

    Lewmar Windlass

    Be very careful. This windlass is powerful and you can damage your boat and yourself. I bumped the up button a little to long once and the anchor hit the roller and launched straight up and hung itself on the pulpit. I designed a two roller system that made it easy to fully recover the anchor...

    NARROW BOATS

    I have been watching two series on Amazon Prime, "Cruising the Cut" and "Travels by Narrowboat". They are about living aboard and traveling the canals of England. Apparently during the industrial revolution in England, during the 1700s, the main means of commercial transportation were...

    For those who like Ethanol

    You can download an app. to your cell phone, that maps and lists non-ethanol gas stations by your GPS location. It is called "Real Gas". I use it all the time.

    I named my first boat for the Greek God, RUST. Maybe they are sister ships. Thanks for sharing.

    Tandem vs. Single Axle

    If you have never done the conversion, the parts can be ordered over the net. The tandem brackets fit over the chassis side rails and can be slid around to align everything before they are drilled and bolted in place. IMPORTANT, the front hanger pivot bolt must be exactly the same distance...

    For those who like Ethanol

    Big Corn strikes again. Soon you won't be able to buy real gasoline. In the south we still can buy gasoline but I understand in some western/northern states it it almost impossible to find, even at a much higher price. This is big business pushing their government supported product down our...

    The Far C'r/Vega/Firefly Adventure team goes to Lake Powell

    Super video. Well done. Missed this year but will make our third trip next Sept. Can't bring "Easy Duzit" but will rent a houseboat and bring the dinghy. Cruisers from Key West and our son and his wife from LA will join us. Hope to see some fellow brats then.

    What to see in the Florida Keys January 2020

    Consider Marathon. The mooring field there has everything you need and the folks are friendly. We picked up a mooring in Marathon then did the south Florida loop. Went down the keys to Key West, (Stock Island Marina is great) then across Florida Bay to Flamingo, spent a few days in the...

    Suzuki DF140 Bogging Down at 2500 RPMs

    Had same problem. I pulled the input end of the fuel bulb loose and connected it to a remote 6 gal fuel tank from my dinghy. Pumped the bulb and all ran well. That isolated everything but the fuel feed from the tank. New filter and hose was in good shape. Screen on tank pickup tube was...

    towing with the 3.5l v6

    I towed a CD22 from Louisiana to Lake Powell with a V6 F150. I topped one hill in second gear. That was a C22. I can't imagine you would have a problem pulling your boat, but if you move up to a CD22 or CD25 do you really want to have to buy a new truck? JUST A THOUGHT.
