Caryn and I are still planning on making the gathering. That is if you won't mind a Ranger Tug 23 crashing the C-Dory party. My new job might dictate that I work a half day on Friday so we might sneak in Friday evening. We're coming up from Edmonds. We're looking forward to seeing everyone...

Terry, Our good friend Harvey (username Hardee) will extoll on the virtues of twin 40's. If I were in your shoes, if the twin 40's check out with good compression readings and all other signs that they've been regularly maintained and are in good working order, I would choose that option. The...

I tried 2 different upper units and still experienced the same water leak problem, so no, I wouldn't buy again. But other brats have had no problems with them. I don't know why we did. But it is pretty stout. And it is the unit with the higher capacity holding tank so it is taller. YMMV Peter

I was the brat who complained about the "leaking" on the first page. But I need to clarify, the leaking was fresh water in the top half of the unit, not the "black water" in the bottom half (holding tank). For some reason I could not get the cap to seal properly, causing the flushing mechanism...

Great story! Great adventure! Great memories! Great guy! Thanks for sharing Brock. Peter

I'm sure you're right Mark. I just threw it out there as a possibility. I didn't know the specifics. Thanks for clarifying.

The Twin Bridges boat ramp would not be a good place to leave your truck and trailer for a month or so. Too much chance for it to get vandalized. Plus it's a tricky ramp with lots of current and very tide dependent. Definitely doable for you Colby but not my favorite boat ramp. My $.02. I've...

Very cool Mike! I need to find something similar so I could still be an official C-Dory owner. Congrats!

Mike is right Greg, I really liked the 2016 Suzuki we bought. The biggest reason being the much lighter weight than the previous versions (75 lbs!) not to mention the fact that the dissimilar metal plug issue was corrected long ago, 2009 I believe. The lower weight was due to the fact that the...

I know other Brats created hard covers for the electrical area behind the helm but I just know Bruce on Carpy came up with a great one. Bruce was a true master craftsman and is greatly missed. Check out his albums. He was truly amazing. RIP Bruce. Peter

Seems to me a majority of CD22 owners installed a kicker on their transom. In our case, the factory installed a Mini-Jacker bracket to install the kicker so that it could clear the trim tabs. This install is VERY common. The kicker had plenty of room on the transom next to the Main. I...

Jim and Joan, We're so sorry for your loss. Izzy has been a valued member of your family for a long time. She will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with the two of you. Take care. Peter and Caryn

Good point Colby. Yes we took a Power Squadron course. It was helpful.

We bought our first boat almost 13 years to the day, C-Dancer, a 2005 22' C-Dory. I had no prior boating experience and Caryn did some sailing, mostly handling lines and such. We dove headfirst into learning how to boat, starting in the big waters of the Salish Sea, dealing with wind...

Hey Roger, Unfortunately you'll have to find street parking parking or lots near the hotel. There is not parking available at the hotel for this event. Peter

I had the same experience as Mark with our 2005 King tandem trailer. No provision for manual lock-out. I ended up buying a new solenoid a year ago but never installed it since I didn't experience the locked brakes situation again. Now that I no longer have the trailer, I'm willing to donate...

Lloyds, I really like the Navionics chip. Better graphics IMHO. I used it side by side on a Lowrance chartplotter next to a Garmin and preferred the Navionics. Peter

Yes great article Brock. Although there isn't a photo of a C-Dory, it did garner first mention in the line of other rugged PNW fiberglass boats. Pretty cool! Peter

Someone's going to get a steal on this great boat!

Brock, long story short, this brand new boat became immediately available. Otherwise, we could have waited 2 months for the green one to be built.
