Fantasticly done,…..I could never be so organized,…..and I have to be honored that my name should even be mentioned in it all ! 🙂
Rich – I couldn’t have gotten it done without you and John!
Dale After using your Lewmar 550 windlass did you feel it was adequate as far as power
for your 22 ? would you buy another one ? Thanks Dan Thomas
Hi Dan –
An emphatic YES! I anchored many, many times and often in heavy currents on the Delta. It never missed a beat that I recall. I had another windlass on a Bayliner years before, not sure of the brand, but it had a hard plastic gypsy that eventually wore out and I had to replace. Be sure it has a metal gypsy.
Did you get the gelcoat changed on your boat?
Thanks for your comment, Dan. I don’t get many these days but I’ve always enjoyed them.
Dale
Hi Dale! I aways enjoy your posts, they are informative yet are full of humor! Are you going to put the sturgeon decal on your new C- Dory? I would like to install that decal on my Arima if I could get it 66″ long and if you didn’t mind. (since it is your signature) Looking forward to more of your posts from your new boat! Sam
Hi Sam –
Thanks for the kind comments. The longest sturgeon decal I have is about 14″ or so. You could take the pattern (it’s not copyrighted; I found it on the ‘net) to a decal outfit that might be able to make one as big as you mention. It’s worth a try! Good luck with the decal. – Dale

Hey Buddy, who are you kidding? The reason you sell and buy boats is because you like doing all the things that need to be done to bring a new purchase up to your standards.
I finally bought a small boat. Well, smaller than my 32 footer. Bought a 21 foot Sea Ray Bowrider. Going to have fun with my grandkids on the delta this summer.
Hi Ron – Thanks for the visit. But I don’t plan to buy another boat ever again! It’s just too much work for an old man. Congrats on the new boat – I make a point of leaving the delta to you skiers, etc. all summer. You all can have the endless wind while I fish the lakes! Good to hear from you again. – Dale
Hi Fishwisher:
Thank you for posting up all the details of your projects… very informative. I too am in need of some fiberglass repair and wanted to see if you have any suggestions? Basically someone honest, affordable and that does a good job. Thanks!
The fella that did my gel coat and earlier did some repairs for me is Bora Prohm in Stockton, CA 209-483-1967. He does good work but isn’t cheap. I hope this helps you.
Thank you very much for the info!

Dale I have purchased a c-dory 19 and it has grey trim (not my favorite) can you tell me
how much Bora Prohm charged you to paint your trim on your last boat . I am curious
Thank You Dan Thomas
Hi Dan – Thanks for the visit. I don’t remember what I paid years ago and the file on that boat is buried in a box out in the shed somewhere. But it was expensive, I thought. I don’t know if he’s still doing such work but you might check online or the phone book. It shouldn’t cost anything for a bid. You might check http://www.c-brats.com which is all about C-Dorys and get some more current advice. Good luck with your new boat! – Dale
Although this a an older post I just wanted to say that you do nice work. Hope you are still fishing…
