I've been so impressed by you all...your knowledge, willingness to share experiences. Certain words and phrases have popped out and stayed with me... ...This has made my wife love boating....Sometimes a big boat is more a hindrance than a help. The nod has always gone to the skipper who can...

I'm learning something with every reply. Thank you all for being so responsive! Quite reassuring that unpleasant conditions can be handled.

Many thanks for this. Yes, most 'advisors' are those who stress the floor of the boat is actually on the water, thus no protective layers of wood and fiberglas and air! But...that is what allows the shallow draft we require. Accommodations can be made, depending on boaters' priorities.

People are trying to convince us not to buy a 2008 C-Dory 2' Angler because they are claiming the ride will be too rough? Any advice from the forum? swag :?

We are looking at a C_Dory 22'. We are being told that it's a rough ride. Can anyone speak to that subject? :?

Nothing wrong with saving money on fuel, nor the 'cute boat' part. I'm used to picking my days, as previous boat (the one I just sold!) had too much draft to allow me to go out when the tide wasn't just right. I'm looking forward to an easier experience.

Am considering buying C-Dory 22' after 20 years of twin-engine inboards and deep V hull construction. What kind of adjustment period should I expect. I'll be boating in Long Island Sound.
