Is this what you expect to be carrying in terms of weight, plus ice? (From your album.) "First Fish on the boat 49,33 and 15" lbs Joe. :teeth :thup

As a Wild Ass Non Scientific Guess (WANSG), without further experimentation and testing, I'd guess you have one battery that is internally shorted out (bad cell with + & - lead plates touching) that is causing the other battery to discharge into it and boil the electrolyte in the shorted...

The historical evidence on this site proves the C-Dory wins most all of the time, though specific boat to car comparisons are not always made. The NADA and Kelley's Blue Book and similar comparisons show that the C-Dory used prices are usually much higher in practice than the books listed...

louxwe- Sounds like you've got a spun hub, plain and simple. Take it to a prop shop and have the rubber hub replaced. Good Luck! Joe. :teeth :thup

Cost, more than anything else, although there might be some folks that are initially unfamiliar / uncomfortable with the catamaran design, which can be a great advantage in performance, safety, and both interior cabin and cockpit space. Worth checking out. I'd rather have a pre-owned CD-255...

Have you considered a C-Dory Tomcat 255 which will easily take motors in the counter-rotating size range? Joe. :teeth :thup

That's not only true, but the CD-22 (and other CD's) are one of the best investments in return dollars down the road I've ever seen after owning boats all my adult life and a C-Dory for 21 years! Joe. :teeth :thup

Depends, but not too difficult. A. What kind of toilet is in it? 1.Porta Potti? 2. Airhead? 3. Plumbed toilet with maceator, holding tank, and plumbed outlet on gunnel? These are also in order of difficulty to remove, from super easy to somewhat difficult and nasty to boot! B. To build the...

If you try the trolling plate approach, you'll have to mount the trolling plate to your anti-ventilation plate and/or your hydrofoil. If just to the hydrofoil (which is in turn mounted to the anti-ventilation plate), the hydrofoil will have to be rigid (aluminum or stainless) to be strong...

Recent thread on that topic: 22FT with left side bulkhead removed on port side? (Above concerns both the 22 and 25.) Plus, there's lots more if you do a Search on this site. Try "bulkhead and removed" Scores 147 matches. Joe. :teeth :thup

I doubt they would take your idle/trolling speed down more than 1/2 mph, since at very low displacement speeds a boat is so easily propelled. Mounting a trolling plate on your hydrofoil would definitely do it, however. The trolling plate blocks the forward thrust of the prop, and that's what...

1. So how did this come to be??? 2. So when is the next high tide (if any) that will "float the boat"??? 3. Is there a "Short (water) Sale" occurring as we speak? (I know it's not your TC-255!) Joe. :teeth :thup

I should think that if you're willing to wait, study, and look around a bit, you should be able to get an excellent CD-16 for under $20K, perhaps as low as $15K. Slow down, be careful, think clearly, and don't let the "Hot to Buy Bug" get you into a $30k-$35k hole you'd later wish you'd...

Is there an escape clause in the contract you can activate and get out of it within a 24 or 48 hour or so "cooling off" period? (Depends on state laws, usually.) I'd activate it and void the sale and not resign it until he set things right, or probably not at all considering the non-professional...

The roof top AC systems are RV units. They're completely self-contained and discharge the excess heat into the air. All they need is their vent/inlet through the ceiling (top) of the cabin and a 120 volt ac power source. IMHO, they're the best AC type unit for a boat such as a C-Dory. They do...

You're probably seeing a "trolling plate" mounted on a hydrofoil ("Whale Tail" is one brand) designed to block engine thrust at low speeds and to therefore reduce the rate of forward motion for trolling with a large outboard, which otherwise would give trolling speeds too fast for many species...

(Same answer as on the other thread) Yes, you can run the AC with a generator. I'm not sure what you mean by "Factory AC", but a Honda or other make 2000 watt sine wave generator will run most 120 volt ac air conditioners. A small RV roof type or window type domestic AC unit can be run with a...

These both look like nice boats with their positive points. I see where one is listed at $39,900, but the other is only photos without a price as far as I can tell. Individual choice could make the difference if the prices are very similar, but I'd be inclined to get the single Honda with...
