Hope all have great plans for the 4th !

We'll be spending the week at a house on the Gulf Coast, 75 feet from the surf..nothing but seas and breeze, and Buffet on the CD's


A safe and happy 4th to all...

I started to add "your mileage may vary" to that mention of Bargain Watersports as I am only speaking from my experience..however I had no problem with my order, but I did check it out foot by foot and would have sure made noise and asked for a better lot if it had happened...I try to leav...

Likely I

We found our best price at:

Bargain Watersports and Marine
386-290-8959
David Prestwood
His Ebay ID is BargainH20Sports

(we bought our first lot on Ebay, but he made us the same price for more later)

We bought our 1979 C26 in November of 2003 from the marina as a lien seizure. She had been abandoned by her previous owners for a year and a half, and we felt it appropriate to rechristen her. I have a high pressure job, my wife has a high pressure job, plus she is finishing her Phd work at night. W...

How COOL is that ??? (I sound like that guy on Trading Spaces TV show)..congratulations..and I thought we got a steal on the EE !! Check under the carpet at that soft spot...I had a bit of what looked to be delam going on right there on ours..right where the keel pocket seems to fair into the sole.....

You know, sometimes my head is as hollow as a buoy...I had visited that site but was focusing on the "M" as a month code and there was no month with a code of "M"...but you're right, the "C" following the 79 is likely the month code....

Thanks !

Does anyone know/understand the last 4 digits of Chrylser hull numbers ? I know the CBC denotes a Chrysler boat, the next 5 digits are my hull number, but how about the last 4 that show the date of manufacture. My bill of sale lists my C26 as a 1981 model, but since the last 4 digits are "M79C&...

Not sure which boat you have, but on our C26 I used 3/8" bacause that was what I found on it...bought on Ebay from EBay ID: BargainH2OSports Their phone is Bargain Watersports and Marine, Inc. 386-290-8959. Local West Marine was 89 cents a foot, this was 38 cents a foot including shipping, not ...

No too much to tell, really. We only had enough time to motor down the bayou into the lake, catch a little wind near the inlet, and check the standing and running rigging. EE was sitting in the water unattended/unmaintained for a couple of years, so it was mostly a powered mini-shakedown. We just se...

After months of elbow grease and repairs, we enjoyed a short shakedown out to Lake Ponchartrain...

Agreed ! Clean look, too ! Thanks for the efforts to make this board happen...

Thanks for the reply...I did find a copy of the 79 C26 Manual that had a diagram of the setup...looks like it is really easy for the pull up line to bind the way it is run..EE is due for a haulout and bottom cleaning soon so I can re-do them then. I'm in a deep slip, so I just pushed it down with th...

Does anyone know of the location of a diagram showing the layout of the pull up/pull down lines on the rudder blade of a C26 ? We just purchased a 1979 C26 as a fixup and the lines seem "stuck". Can push the rudder down by pole fine, but it seems to pop back up. Have to motor her a ways ne...
