Brunswick Corp. will permanently shut its Arlington yacht factory by year's end, idling most of the facility's 790 employees, the recreational equipment company said today. The Arlington plant, along with one in Roseburg, Ore., will close for good by year-end, and a plant in Navassa, N.C., will...

We've been happy with the E-Tec 90 on our boat - what I liked is the no break in period and 300 hours between maintanence. We have 200+ hours on the engine and have gone through four gallons of oil (I think), seems like 60 to 70 hours between fill ups. Gas milage also seems pretty good. Haven't...

Were you drinking ?

Unless the water freezes solid where you are at - there is no reason not to be out in your C-Dory - thats what I think gives these boats their true value. The times when everyone else has long since considered the end of boating season is when C-Dory boating is at its best. Cheers, Tom Of...

“My previous boat was a 22’ C-Dory. I will happily tell you that the BARTENDER does NOT have the same function characteristics as the C-Dory. I fish at Neah Bay, Washington. The BARTENDER doesn't rattle your teeth in the smallest chop, nor the largest, and it doesn't have a tendency to slide...

The trim tabs are real sensitive, I usually set them at 30 to 40 %, have the engine trimmed up a bit, and I do have permatrim. Basically I'm still learning and dont have enough experience to yet know how to set everything ideally. I've been playing around, and of course sea conditions are a big...

Anyone have any ideas on comparisons between a 22 and a 19 as far as identical engines and gas milage / speed. I've got a 90 E-Tec on my 19 and I just cant seem to use anywhere near the amount of gas that other folks are burning. I'm being serious here, I'll have to do an accurate review of my...

Last I read the lawyers were fighting it out in court to see if the boat can be used in an America Cup race. The article I read said the lawyers were billing enough hours to buy their own boats. Big boats, big bucks, and even bigger egos.

Have to wonder about a group of folks discussing Boater Competency under a misspelled topic (Competentcy ? ) . :wink: Cheers, Tom

Sounds just like some of the laws that were passed in Nazi Germany. The July 1933 Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring, written by Ernst Rüdin and other theorists of "racial hygiene," established "Genetic Health Courts" which decided on compulsory sterilization of "any...

And then there's those of us who's wife was a semi-professional water skier and grew up on a lake and drove a boat long before her first car. I swear every time she brings the boat into the dock I'm think she's going too fast, then she "slams" it into reverse, spins the wheel and tucks the boat...

I second the recommendation for Angola Canvas. I ordered a cover for my 16 and they did a great job. Very happy with the service and the product. Added benefit of getting a made in America product - getting rarer every day.

None of the information i've seen states "C-Dory", could be another type of boat, they are only stating Dory - that dosnt mean a C-Dory. ?? Tom

I noticed on their web site ad they have zero (0) 2008 models listed , only 2007. Looks to me like almost all boats are going for firesale prices right now - been unable to sell my 19 - not even a single offer, since its like new I wasnt going to give it away - but no offers ? One year old and...

Someone is still lending money? That's crazy talk. Cheers, Tom p.s. - Keybank ?

Wasnt the low tide around 2:46 - so you caught them on the rising tide, a couple of hours after low tide ? Just curious about how important fishing the low tide is. Also - you using scent at all on the lures or flashers? Were there a lot of other boats out ? My son arrives tonight and we...

Now I am offended - Marty your the last one who should ever apologize on this site. Oh, btw - we sleep on one of those comfort sleep number beds in a hotel once - my side was malfunctioning and it keep changing during the night, I would never get one, worst night sleep in a long time. Tom

What's the opinion on purchasing the annual Boat/US Towing Insurance? Recommend it ? Don't need it ? Tom

A boating day today in the PNW. While heading out of Everett had CDancer race past us on his way to the one small spot around here open to fishing. Called him on 68 but no answer. Then while out floating around heard Lizzie also trying to raise CDancer - Marty on Lizzie came over and said hi...
