After reading a lot of the Shramrock story posts I still can,t figure out if anyone got anything going. I guess I should not complain about the lack of dealers and be happy that C-Dory boats are still being built in these rough times. Nimble Boats went down after the death of the founder Gerry...

Interesting comments. There sure is a large hole in coverage on the East coast. I has a conversation with Gary at Cutter after C-Dory pulled the dealership. I think C-Dory's reason was that Gary would not stock the entire line. He told me he really did not have any calls for sixteen footers. I...

We were away most of the winter and did not keep up with all the C-Brat news. Today I clicked on the factory web site and was shocked to learn that there are "0" dealers in Maryland. We purchased our C-Dory from Cutter Marine and were unhappy when C-Dory pulled the dealership and gave it to...

Hello to all, Due to limited finances and work vans that were 2-wheel drive we did with what we owned. After backing off the end of a ramp and needing the tow truck I started carrying a nylon tow strap about 20 feet long. It is still in it's original wrapper. I guess we learned our lesson. We...

On our 22 we had the memory foam put in a new mattress cover then used the Travasack. Wonderful sleeping. Be sure to order the Travasack for the V-Berth it will fit much better. We have used potties for years. If you use a dedorant you will not smell anything except the deordorant when you...

Hello, Pat and I are back from Florida and we do plan to get to the gathering for the Saturday evening party. I will have my spoons all shined up-just love to play with Tom. We did have some time with Last Dance Terry in Florida. We stayed at the Glades Camp Ground where he spent the winter in...

Lots of fun to see, but not one as good looking as any C-Dory.

Just had to tell you how much I enjoyed your picture of the moon and your decorated boat. Very Neat. Your description of your day cruise warmed a chilly NE damp evening. Thanks and Merry Christmas

We had our canvas man make a canvas cover for the opening on our 22 footer. Our cat loved to get in there and smell the bay bottom mud left on the chain. Then we had two problems a smelly cat and the smell of the mud. The simple canvas cover helped a lot. Fred, Pat...

Hi to all, El and Bill, folks like us that enjoy living on a small budget will probably see little difference in our life style. We had our C-Dory partly because it was cheap to operate and live on. Our Road Trek motor home is about as small a unit that you can live in for months at a time. We...

Our 22 Cruiser on a single axel trailer weighted 4200 pounds. we had 1/2 fuel and a full tank of water, but not too much gear when it was weighted.

Hi to all- Having been both ways we have learned one thing boating and boats are a crompromise of one thin or another. When we downsized to the CD-22 we really liked the simplicity and ease of everything. We could cruise at 6 knots or kick it up a bit if we liked. We were as comfortable on the...

I am happy to report that we just returned from our first boatless trip to NY state. I am not happy about being boatless , but we do have a nice supply of Terry,s favorite RED CAT. So we can drink our sorrows under the table and will check on the market in the morning...

Hi Fred, Glad you woke up in time! Congrats on the lost weight, keep up the good work.getting fit can make you act years younger. Just don't try two 18 year olds-even a 36 year old would be bad if your wife catches you. Pat and I are boatless, but doing OK. Good report on her kidney problems...

Hi to all, Charlie was wrong about me loosing my glasses. I did not fall off the dock at Langford Bay. Must have been another Fred. I will admit to being a little less stable at Langford Bay from drinking too much Red Cat, but that was Terry's fault. The C-DORY we sold is living happily in...

I always went forward as my wife is a little unstable. When going into a lock with a big wind on the bow I had to leave the helm a hustle forward to grab a line. With the placement of the hand rails and the nonskid it was never a problem.

I agree with most responding.A porta-potty is simple, cheap, has no odor, and can be emptied almost anywhere. Learn to use it with out paper(put it in a baggie) and dumping gets much easier.

Sounds like Sea Foam is pretty good stuff. I have not seen it on the shelf at any boating store in our area. We have a motor home and the gen set has a funny carb. It must be run appx. every two weeks or it gives problems when you really load it (air conditioner). Give us a suggestion where to...

A peice of paper will not help, but the course held in a class room setting taught by boaters(Power Squadron or GGA) will at least impart some knowledge
