Bill and El, We have never met, never spoke but you two have influenced my wife and I in a positive way. We read about your adventures and truly enjoyed your insights and observations. You sent us a note congratulating us when we finally purchased our C-Dory. We were both impressed and honored...

I’ve been trying to restrain myself but I just have to jump in the mighty murky twins Vs singles debate. :P I’ve read quite a few of the posts (not all million and one) on the subject before I purchased and could have gone either way depending on the conditon and price of the boat. That being...

Laurie and I are really looking forward to meeting some new friends and seeing other C-Dorys in action! I will be putting a check, CF# and boat name in the mail Monday. We have put quite a few hours trying to come up with a great boat name for our little 22 CD and after going around in circles...

Sounds like the voice of experience... :wink Great advice. Like others say keeping it light is always a good idea when practical.

I like the idea, thanks for sharing.

1975 18' tri hull bought $2000 sold $2000 1975 22' sailboat "free" $1500 (parts/ sails) sold $1200. Various used kayaks, canoes, homebuild pram, etc. 1971 15' Sidewinder (100hp) bought 2300. Still going fast enough for me! 2006 C Dory Cruiser $40K... hope to hold on to it for years to come. I...

Just out fishing last night with my wife, she never, never, would have been with me if we did not have heat. Yes, it does get cold on the SF Bay at night! We've used our boat a lot since we purchased last June - granted not much of a long term test. We figured out the battery needs to be tip/...

Hello All, Laurie and I are new owners of a 2006 cruiser and would love to join you all!. We just now saw that sign-ups (ok one) may be still available and we will gladly take a spot. Let us know if that works out. Hope to meet some of the folks we have only seen posts here on this site. BTW We...

Thanks to all for your input. My job has just been crazy busy lately and have not had time to do important stuff like play on this website and work on the boat. My bilge is near the cabin door, step over it to enter cabin. The bilge well is maybe 5-6 inches deep and is flush with the cockpit...

What are the cables covered / sheathed in? Also after the cables exit the bulkhead/ under the door are the cables simply routed across the cockpit floor (under fiberglass panel floor)? Mine currently are. Thanks SleepyC for the reply. :)

It appears a previous owner of my 2006 22' cruiser with Honda twin 50s thought that the reason for stiff throttles was improper cable routing. So... to "straighten out" the cables they were run through the cabin near door then holes were drilled near the bottom of the bilge to accomodate a...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! To my newest family, C-brats! We truly feel blessed for all of the abundence that we enjoy, the health to enjoy it and the means to get out on the water. PS: I am also thankful for being able to access this great website that helps me to a more active, informed and safer...

We have a 2007 Ford F-150 2 wheel drive with the 4.6 V8. Towing our 22 cruiser on dual axle Pacific trailer on the freeway we get about 12-13 mpg. I tend to set cruise control for about 62 mph (yes, I know 55 is limit but would get run over by big rigs) on the flats. Mileage will get worse on...

I have same boat, same year, had same problem... called Diamond Sea Glaze. They got a set of blank keys to me in 5 days, $10. per blank... ouch but I now have spares. PM me if you have questions. Good Luck

yep... alt or regulator issue ehh

' Thanks mike! and keep those ideas coming!

Hi Guys, my first real post is unfortunately a question for you electrical gurus who can speak(type) in laymen terms to my dumb self. New 2006 CD 22’ boat to me has some electrical glitches :? . First problem is that port and starboard (Honda 50s 2006) voltmeters read different. And I get low...

You guys are awesome! Thanks for all of the input and I've great some great resources to check out. BTW I am not going to use one of the two VHF but rather use one of the flexible units routed inside/ hidden inside the upper cabin. John

I was hoping someone could provide me with information regarding installation of an Am/ FM (CD, mp3 etc.) in my new, to me, CD 22. The boat is equipped with two VHF radios, separate power sources (port/starboard dedicated engine systems) and antennas. I really don't want to install another...

That was pretty darn cool... who would've thought someone is out there seriously practicing paddling to music! OK now you experieced CD owners have something to aspire to! I can see it now, the little C Dory spinning, and listing oh so gently to the strains of some mildly romantic popular...
