Wanted to put my 2 cents in. DON'T waste your money on the BF50's. I just repowered my boat with BF40's EFI 2022 engines. I looked into the BF50's just because thought it might be worth the extra $2000 more for top end push "IF" needed". After putting 28 hours on the 2022 BF40 EFI engines I am...

I just repowered my boat a couple of months ago. Figured 16 motors, 26 hull, 5 trailer. Agreed value of $47,000. Progressive declined the agreed value. Sent them the new receipts on everything. Haven't heard anything, its been a week. They were quick to canceled my insurance after 2 weeks and...

Sorry watts not amps.

I don't think the easy start prolongs the life of the ac. It means that it's easy on the start up amperage draw. The advantage of having one is that you can run your big rooftop ac on a standard 15 amp 120v plug without popping the breaker. So no need for 30amp service at the dock or campground...

I installed the easy starter in the rooftop ac. I did this install for a smaller Generac 2000EU generator. The Generac would not start the ac even with this. I believe that Generac inflated the numbers on this generator. So I bit the bullet and went for the new Honda 2200EU. After watch reviews...

Living in South Florida it has been a requirement to have a/c on the boat. We have the 13,500 BTU roof mounted a/c. Last year started using it 90% of the time all day, underway all the time in the summer. Like sitting in the truck on the but on the water. When the outside temps are 98 deg. with...

C-Dory Half-Hulls

I sent private message if you want mine.

I got lucky finding my Honda 40s. Otherwise they had a 6-month waiting list from Japan for Hondas. I thought the install was going to be plug and play with basically the same motors. Not after 24 years have passed! EVERYTHING has to be changed out with repowering an old boat. One advantage of...

I repowered my boat 3 weeks ago with new Honda 2022 twin 40's. Each motor was $6500 rigging was $3000 with all the latest Honda controls (2022) NEMA 2000 network. Total cost with tax came to $17,000. I did the install myself. It's like a new boat now and burns 1/3 less fuel than the old carb...

Base yourself out of Bahia Honda State Park! It is actually way better than anything you're going to find in Key West. Not to mention in my opinion, the park has the best beach in the Florida Keys. Drive the truck down to Key West, leave the boat at Bahia Honda. We use our C-Dory 22 down there...

Oh yes, I did mean 1.7 Gallons per hour at 3700 RPMs. total or 0.85 Gallons for each engine. We took the boat out again yesterday with a heaver load (two more people). Ran the boat for 3.5 hours and burned 5 gallons of gas! I dumped 5 gallons into an empty tank and it never ran out of gas! It...

Is the Yamaha a 2 stroke, a 4 stroke, carb. or EFI? This all makes a big difference on fuel economy. Try not to compare a boat to a land vehicle when it comes to MPG. This will not work for boats due to different factors with vessels and currents. Use Gallons per hour for a given RPM then figure...

Wanted to share an update with everyone about the fuel consumption difference between the 1998 Honda 40 hp carb twins to the EFI Honda 40s. After sea trials I am able to run the boat 800 Rpm’s less than the old Carburetor engines and make 15 kts- 20 mph. So carbs burned 2.5 gallons per hour...

New 2022 Honda 40s

I second Tom’s quote; “There’s nothing like a C-Dory”.
