Localboy: I saw your reply late. Are you saying that there is a foam core in the hull and transome in the 2008 CD25 and not a balsa core? I can see why the factory did not use sealant if that is the case.

Many thanks to all of you who responded. Your input is great..........that's what makes this site great.......people helping others with a common passion. Boris: You may not remember but we met at the boat ramp in CR when I was pulling Icarus 22 out one day. We had a good chat. A Fishin C...

Sounds like a good deal Charlie.

We are proud new owners of a 2008 CD 25 Cruiser. The fellow we bought it from wanted a smaller C-Dory so he took our CD22 Cruiser in trade. I have many questions for all of you brats about the 25. Your answers and ideas are always so valuable. Thanks, in advance, for your patience and input...

Ya.....I want a few of those hats too. Didn't see them for sale at the link provided by rogerbum. I like the one in the photo link provided by hambone. Cheers :beer Tom

Little acts of thoughtfulness and kindness such as this goes a long way to improve someones situation. Good for you! Tom

Congratulations bridma!! Welcome to C Brat-hood. We recently went through the excitement of bringing home a new to us C Dory. We went from our 22 Cruiser to the 25 Cruiser just last week. I know what it feels like and I don't think there is a cure. Addiction is a terrible thing......but it's a...

What is it about C Dorys you ask? Well, for me it's like this......Have you ever met a person and immediately known that this person is a genuine, no b.s. real person of integridy? That is the feeling I got the first time I laid eyes on a C Dory back in the 1980's at the Vancouver Boat Show. I...

Hi Glen, I just sent you a PM on the subject. Cheers, Tom

I too humbly apologize for Celine :oops: Could you please add me to the map. Tom

I too have been caught in that situation a few times and it is not pleasent but if you are constantly adjusting the throttle and quick on the wheel with the bow trimmed up the c dory handles the condition well. One invaluable item to have is a wheel spinner. You can make those quick steering...

Oh Boy!! Now I'm really confused :? Tom

Thanks for your explanations. Now it makes sense and I will not be alarmed by particles in the bowl. Tom

I have another question for the brats about the fuel filter. I change my Racor fuel filter / seperator every season but this time I noticed some particles of sediment in the bowl. Shouldn't thet have been caught by the filter or does the fuel go to the filter after the bowl? :? Cheers, :beer...

Saw the TomCat "Discovery" fishing off "the hump" at Campbell River yesterday. Hope you had better luck than I. Cheers, Tom

Les, Thanks for your detailed reply. I usually cruise at 4500-4600 rpm. I don't think I am too much heavier than most fisher/cruisers but I do carry a 75 pound dinghy on top. Have no idea of the make of the prop but yes it is aluminum. I bought a 4 bladed 13.5X15 honda prop but the WOT was...

I too have a 22 cruiser with a honda 75 and I have been trying to find the right prop too. I had a 3x13.5X15 and I liked the speed it gave me but at WOT all I could get was 5000 rpm. The Honda owners book says it should be 5000-6000. I was afraid my performance was not really optimal so I had it...

Earlier in this thread Marc from Wefings wrote…… “……There is no new mousetrap in the world of props and the available ones are there for a reason . Get one to turn [with a load] fairly close to where your motor's RPM range should be and you have a winner .” I have recently tried, what is...

Makes me wonder...what's in the water? Tom

I too know all about the interest there is in our little boats when at the boat ramp or just about anywhere. About those brochures for handing out.......how do we get some. I would be glad to keep some onboard for that purpose. Sure hope the nice boating weather is with us soon......getting...
