I’ve read in various places that your VHF antenna should be mounted at least 6 ft. from the radio itself. On my C-Dory the radio is mounted next to the helm and the antenna is right outside the window, only about 12” from the radio. I’m asking because the antenna is damaged and I’ll soon be...

My wife & I just did what you are proposing! We searched in vain for months for a 22 and finally found a 16 at a good price (though we’ll be spending lots to upgrade the motor). We decided to grab it and keep looking for that larger boat, knowing our 16 will have good resale value when that time...

I have a 1988 16’ Fisherman, and the cockpit is not enclosed. As we know, many C-Dorys were built with a “floating” helm bulkhead enclosing the cuddy cabin, meaning the sides are not sealed to the hull. Instead, there is a small gap around the entire perimeter. We have wasps in my area and I...

There’s one for sale currently on the CA central coast. It’s been on the market a long time — not sure why. https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/boa/d/arroyo-grande-18-dory-60hp-mercury-big/7404118534.html

Thx kcohen4, I hadn’t thought of those things.

I’m looking at buying a 1988 16 footer that needs repowering. I have a line on a used 2011 Mercury 60hp 4-stroke outboard and was wondering if this is too much motor. Is anyone else running 60hp on this boat? Assuming the weight of the motor is manageable, what would be the downside? The rating...

Thanks for all the replies. About what I expected to hear. I think if the rest of the boat checks out we may go ahead with the purchase and look into upgrading the motor down the road.

I’m looking at a 1999 22’ C-Dory Cruiser for sale with a 1999 50hp Honda 4-stroke outboard. Seller says it cruises at 12-14 mph. Strikes me as a small motor for this boat? I’m obviously not looking for a fast boat but what am I giving up with a smaller motor like this on a 22-footer, if...

Is this boat still available? No reply to my PM.

Sent you a PM for pix/info.

Probably too late to help the OP, but Oxbow Marina near Isleton is another option. They have a launch ramp, locked storage yard, fuel dock, guest berths, etc. And they’re located on Georgiana Slough, one of the most beautiful areas of the Delta and centrally located. BTW, I’m happy to answer...
