Thank you!

Thank you!

I carried one on my 22, so the 25 shouldn't be a problem.

Hi all, Thanks for all of the good wishes! It's especially nice to hear from so many of us "old timers" who bought boats in the same time frame about ten years ago. It brings back so many Brats memories of posts, PM's, emails, phone calls and advice being shared in so many ways. Yep, this...

Thanks, everyone! Ahhh, the decision process begins again. We really thought that our 22 was going to be the last time that we went through this! Nick "Valkyrie"

Hi Brats, As I mentioned yesterday, my wife and I just bought a new blue 25. We won't get the boat until later this month and I just made an appointment with Rayco Canvas here in Ohio to replicate the great canvas that they did on Valkyrie about ten years ago. However, In matching the canvas...

Hello, my friends, In January of 2005, we signed on for the first time here and announced that we had just purchased a CD 22 cruiser at the Baltimore Boat Show. In the intervening years, we've cruised and fished all of the Great Lakes, explored the Erie Canal, the Chesapeake, much of the...

Very nice! I've live about five miles from PlasTeak and they did the removable cockpit floorboards in Valkyrie, an '05 22 Cruiser. That cost $600 about eight years ago. PlasDeck is fantastic.....nonskid, easy to clean and comes with a lifetime warranty. Nick "Valkyrie"

We have had ours (PlasTeak)for about eight years and it's just like new. Now surprising, as it has a lifetime warranty. Nick "Valkyrie"

On Valkyrie, I first raised the helm seat by using 1.5 inch thick oak boards, simply removing the seat and drilling holes in the wood in the appropriate places and then replacing the seats with longer screws. Pics in our album on the above mod. Also, I had the bottom of the helm seat repadded...

Hi Casey, Good to hear that things are going so well! I have been following on FB. Big Tuna is right on the water, isn't it? If so ,we ate there, too, on the deck overlooking the water. They even brought a big bowl of ice water for Boomer. Very nice folks. As I mentioned before, I am...

Easy to get them to stay still to hose them down! Just have Mary stand in be cockpit with her arms extended to the sides for five minutes and you just overwhelm her with a cloud of bug juice! Works every time! I am also in BIG trouble the next time she sees me! Regards, Nick "Valkyrie"

We have found one way to keep those tiny, pesky critters from coming through the screens is to spray bug repellent on them every day or so. Nick "Valkyrie"

Hi Harvey, Credit for the planning goes to my buddy Rollie on C-Batical in MI who did the install on his boat first. The PM21's are the largest size that will fit and that is the only location where the curvature of the cabin trunk will allow an installation. Regards, Nick "Valkyrie"

We installed Vetus PM21 ports years ago and have never regretted the decision. In our album is a how-to sub-album of the install procedure. I recommend using a Roto-Zip to cut out the fiberglass, BUT be sure to tape a garbage bag to the cabin truck IN the v-berth to contain the dust! We...

We installed Vetus PM21's on Valkyrie and they are one of the best improvements that we have made to her. Besides the additional light and air circulation, they really create an open feeling to the v-berth and allow us to look at the dock when we hear someone coming toward the boat. No, they...

Harvey, That is a GREAT idea. I can never find it either. Looking forward to meeting you at some point, too! Rob, Happy New Year to you, too, and let's try to get together on Lake Erie this summer. Best to all of my C-Brat friends! Nick "Valkyrie"

Hi Brats! Yesterday we were coming back from Christmas in SC (boatless) and saw a 22 with a radar arch and blue trim heading south on the WV Turnpike (Route 77). There was no name on the boat and I was wondering if it belonged to one of us. Just curious. Regards, Nick "Valkyrie"

Hi Rob, Good to hear from you! We will be docking Valkyrie in the western basin this year and hope that maybe we can finally meet somewhere. Good news: there are now FOUR more C-Dory's in northern Ohio, located in Wadsworth, Green, Strongsville, Cleveland and a couple located here in the...
