Okay. Thanks all for the fine advice. I'll be posting a formal ad when I can get outside to clean her off and take some good pics, but I'm gonna bite the bullet and go CD-less for a second time (drawback of working for FEMA--hurricane season cuts into boating time)--I'll be offering our '92...

Dave, Thanks. I appreciate your thoughts. I did the same thing, and reached mostly the same conclusions. Now I gotta man up and actually decide to sell yet another C-Dory. Best, Bruce

Marty, I'd forgotten about the reference file. Thanks for the suggestion. I went through the listings for CD 16's, and noticed most sold within a month, some much faster. I also noticed that several of the lower priced ones were apparently quite underpriced, and went within hours or days of...

Hi all, Long time no see. The last time I was out with FEMA, strangely enough, I saw few C-Dories. North Dakota would be a fine place to park one. Devil's Lake would be a fine place to fish walleyes out of one too. Grand Forks has done a beautiful job of rebuilding itself after the terrible...

Sounds like disconnecting is a Good Idea. As for what the ratio on my motor is--I mixed up some fuel once, and haven't had to since, so :oops: I've forgotten, will do a little research, but I think it was 50:1. I also "think" my motor is a 1990, so I will need to check my papers and make sure...

Thanks, Brent-- Hope you're all back up and running by now. I agree with you--in a disaster the field electrical crews are really something. Bruce

So, brothers and sisters--I'm back. Sold Snowdon (CD 22), then bought Pudge (1989 CD 16 Angler), with a @ 1990 40 HP Merc two stroker which runs fine, but the last owner disconnected the auto-oiler, so I pre-mix now. He said he disconnected the auto oil injector because in engines with some...

...I'll be glad to drive down and pick it up, buy you and yours dinner and dessert whereever you pick (except say, Paris...), and rake your yard, in the bargain. Bruce Holly 410-295-3798. :lol:

Just bought a 92 CD 16 Angler. The VHF is mounted just inside the storage hatch, on the port side, with a controller and speaker on the mike. Seems to work well, and is covered from the weather, and lockable. The antenna is mounted on the roof of the cabin, and looks a bit wimpy, but I'm...

....So, I was hanging out on craigslist early one morning a few days ago...and the end of the story is: I stumbled into a '92 C-Dory 16, in good shape, no major dings, Merc 40, the electronics work--for a very, very righteous price. Fast forward 48 hours. We're back in a C-Dory, suited to our...

Coincidences abound! We both touch the same Bay water, and we're both called Butch, by certain folks. And we both like the same kinda boats, I guess. And...we both like beer. Whodathunkit? Best to ya, Butch. Regards, ex-C Dory "Snowdon" Capt. Bruce "Butch" Holly, Annapolis, MD

Bon Temps sounds like a good name. I just got back from two months down in the Big Easy, doin' my ting with FEMA and all--spent my days in St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parish, and stayed in the Warehouse district. The French Quarter and much of the Uptown area are coming back now, or were...

Ben, ex-Snowdon looks good in your care. We're glad to see you and your family on the water, obviously enjoying the boat. And as you see from these responses, this group is a wonderful part of the experience you will have. Enjoy the thin water open to you now, and if you are ever on the...

Best to you both. Hospitals are great when you need them, and great to avoid when you can. Keep getting stronger, and enjoy what comes next. Bruce and Jane Holly (ex-Snowdon).

First, the good news: Snowdon, our 1999 CD 22 advertised for sale over the past several months only on this site, is sold to a nice family who seem like they will enjoy the heck out of her. Now, the so-so news--Snowdon is sold (sigh). She acted up a bit when she got the news, too. We put her...

Ben, I'm glad you came to this site as quick as you did. The advice you get here will be invaluable. As for the bottom painting issue, I think the convenience of having the boat in the water, ready to go, in these Chesapeake waters, will probably triple the number of times you actually use it...

Bill, We live on the South River off of Harness Creek Road, in Annapolis. Give me a call at 410-295-3798 and we'll set up a meet. Bruce

So, hey all, long time no talk--I'm newly back in the Annapolis area after three months in Biloxi, MS, land of woe and tough people, both coming back from Katrina's worst blows. It's amazing to see with my own eyes, starting last fall in Port Arthur, TX, how for about a mile inland, hundreds...

Bill, sorry it took so long to see your post and respond--I'm just back from Biloxi, MS, with FEMA and I'm just now coming up for air. Yes, she is still available. and I hope someone gets serious about her soon. She wants to be in the water and running to somewhere interesting, and I want her...

Attaboy! :thup :thup Bruce Holly
