Thank you everyone for all of your questions but the boat has been sold. The boat went to a gentleman in Girdwood, AK. He is not a C-Brat's member but found the boat on this site. It told him he should become a member because everyone here is so helpful and it's a great knowledge pool to gather...

Hey Spencer- Yeah, I'm pretty upset with having to let her go, but it's sell the boat or lose the house in California. You were right though. The boat is perfectly set-up for fishing and she is a fish magnet. I wasn't skunked once the entire time I had her. Thanks for the link to your photos...

2006 C-Dory Cruiser 22’ $45,000 / OBO I absolutely hate to do this. I just bought "Playin' Hooky" from Flapbreaker (Spencer) in August. I've only been out in her 3 times. The reason for selling? Three words... STUPID HOUSING MARKET!!! Okay, that said, she is a beautiful boat with EVERYTHING...

The ad says "Liquidation Pricing". I had a talk with a largish dealer recently and they were telling me that when C-Dory changed hands the new owners blew out a lot of their factory inventory at low costs to larger dealers to stay afloat (so to speak). Maybe thay are just passing the savings on...

Thanks for such great info everyone! A new boat just seems so appealing, especially when you think you are getting an incredible, once in a lifetime deal (plus that new boat smell :wink: ) But then, as has been pointed out by several C-Brats, if you buy new, then you have to outfit the boat...

Okay C-Brats. Thanks to everyone that has been so patient with all my questions. Just to bring you up to date, the negotiating is over, the budget has been set and I finally have cash in hand (not a bank loan) to get a C-Dory. Now the big question, new or used? Do I blow the whole budget on...

Hey snal- Let me make a quick clarification. I've done the super hard work and my wife has agreed to getting a C-dory :mrgreen: The difficulty lies in the time line. Boat then kitchen remodel or visa versa. So basically, a boat this summer or next? That's where my negotiation sits :lol...

This could be an interesting topic and one very close to my heart. I too am in the market for a used C-dory. In fact, there is one currently on the market that I really want, but I'm running into financial discussion dead ends (wife & bank). I can get a boat loan, but the bank requires a...

I skipped the D40 & D60 and went straight to the D80. I love it. Nikon is a great camera and I don't think you'll be disappointed with whatever model you decide on. I'm sure you've done your home work, but this site: http://www.dpreview.com/ has some great info regarding camera reviews. Good...

This boat has now been posted in the C-Brats Boats For Sale section: http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=9232 I'm hoping they get some pictures posted soon. I've sent an email to the owner. I'd love to see what the cabin looks like. It also looks like the deck is larger than a standard...

Hey T.R.- Thanks for the words of encouragement. I know I'll get one soon. As for the financed part, it's all subjective. I'm "pre-approved" from the bank for up to $45K. The contingent on the "pre-approval" is that the boat must appraise/survey for that amount. The reason I've missed out on...

Hey Everyone- Again, a really big thank you for all the PM's, emails and posts, but the boat has been sold. It was posted on Craigslist last night and I was the first one to call on it. The guy said it had been posted for only about 10 minutes. So, I spoke with him and got as much info as...

Hey Everyone- Thanks for all the PM's, emails and posts, but the boat has been sold. :cry: It was posted on Craigslist last night and I was the first one to call on it. The guy said it had been posted for only about 10 minutes. So, I spoke with him and got as much info as he had. This...

Thanks bjidzik- I just got off the phone with Alaska Pacific Bank. They had called a few banks in the Fairbanks area to see what they do as a standard practice. APB was told pretty much what you just said. So, APB has a call in to the appraiser that the banks in Fairbanks recommend to find out...
