    Will I be happy?

    We picked up a 2005 CD22 with a Suzuki 90 this spring. My wife and I use it on the great lakes for overnighters ranging from 4 to 15 days at a time. We travel heavily loaded. With a 400+ lb engine, 90 lb kicker, cockpit flooring, 40 gal gas, 15 gal water, and all the stuff that goes with a 2...

    J yacht championship at Newport, Rhode Island

    I guess I'm a bit of an old fart. The AC turned me off in 88 when the Kiwi's challenged with a 90 footer and Conner came back with a cat. The 12 meter rule created some odd boats, but also lead to some interesting designs that always made it interesting to see what new was going to be unveiled...

    What people say about our boat

    "I absolutely love that boat" from a motor home driver at a rest stop. "THAT is SUCH a cute boat" from a busty lady on a passing 20 something cruiser while tied up at the fuel dock. First I've heard the "cute" comment. "Is your boat for sale?" from a 20 something center console Whaler at the...

    Samsung Galaxy Tab A

    For what it's worth, I use a single suction cup RAM mount attached to the lower left corner of the windshield for my Nexus 7, and it's solid.

    Where have all the boaters gone?

    Nick, I think you just got lucky. I was there a couple years ago in July, and it was miserably packed. I agree with your comments regarding Oak Point SP. It's where we stay when we visit PIB, which is usually early June before the crowds and mayflies show up. Grand Traverse Bay was very busy...

    WM gunnel mount ladder question

    It's a matter of utility. We have a swim platform with a water deployable ladder. If I go MOB, damn straight I'll get back on the boat using that conveyance. However, do I want to use that for everyday swimming? NFW. Too strenuous, difficult, and treacherous. That's why I also have a...

    *2000 CD22 cruiser for sale, Michigan (not mine)

    Looks like this one sold. On our way to grand traverse bay this afternoon, we ended up behind it until we parted ways at Flint, them going west, us to the north. Hope it found a caring home.

    *2000 CD22 cruiser for sale, Michigan (not mine)

    It's a 2000, 90hp. The owner does not have an hour meter. I looked around a little bit. The leading edge, from the stem head on down, is beaten up pretty bad, including under the metal strip. Through the gel coat and into the glass? Maybe. There is also some cracking going on at the...

    *2000 CD22 cruiser for sale, Michigan (not mine)

    This is not my boat. I saw it in a nearby parking lot. Talked to the owner. He is an older guy. Said he had it listed on Craigslist for a year at $22k and no takers. Now he just wants it gone. He had no interest in help selling. In fact he's a bit of an ornery cuss. Not sure why I'm...
