Thanks, Dan. I think I'd better stick to salmon fishing for a while until I get the hang of this big boat stuff--and also figure out how to get more time away from the desk and this earning-a-living stuff! Pat

Dan, Are those Valdez shrimp? They look great! I don't have my C-Dory yet, but have been fishing Valdez silvers for over 10 years now and love it. I've never tried shrimping though, and once I have a "big" boat (we started fishing Valdez in a 10 ft Zodiak, and recently moved up to a 13'...

We just went through a very similar discussion as you seem to be going through and we settled on the 22' Angler. We will be using the boat primarily for fishing salmon, and the 6' open deck looks terrific to us. We even went a step further and selected the open back Angler (no bulkhead), as we...

Yep, open back is no bulkhead. The boat is set up just like the 19' Angler, but has the bigger deck which will be great for fishing and friends. The "Air" in the name came from the fact that the other way we love to burn $100 bills when we have nothing better to do, is flying small airplanes...

Hi All, Less than a month ago, I joined the C-brat site, so that I could get some basic information about C-Dory's and join the throngs of "wish I had one." I figured it would be several years before I got there, but of course once I got my husband to actually look at the C-Dories and we got...

Thanks for the reply. I tried to do a search of the forum but couldn't come up with the right words to narrow the search! The access hole looks like a good solution, and the photo is great.

Thanks to everyone who helped me out with my newbie questions a couple of weeks ago. Hard as it is for me to believe, in less than a month, I've gone from dreaming about a C-Dory to just about ready to buy one! I have no idea how that happened, but it's pretty exciting! Here's the problem (if...

More great input. You guys are great. Thanks for taking the time with a newbie! Tom, I really enjoyed the photos of your two boats--your 19' is gorgeous. The photos were a great way to get a feel for the difference between the 16' and the 19'. I have to agree that the 16' seems a little...

Thank you everyone, for the great advice. I'm feeling more confident now about looking for a used C-Dory. My main concern was the transom area, wondering if these would start to lose structural integrity over time, but it sounds as if there generally is no problem, especially with the...

Hi All, I just joined your forum, although I've been spying on you for some time! We live in Fairbanks, AK, and I am passionate about salmon fishing. I would love to upgrade from my 13 ft. Smokercraft (which was an upgrade from a 10 ft. Zodiak) for fishing at Valdez, and would love that...
