Oh yes, I did mean 1.7 Gallons per hour at 3700 RPMs. total or 0.85 Gallons for each engine. We took the boat out again yesterday with a heaver load (two more people). Ran the boat for 3.5 hours and burned 5 gallons of gas! I dumped 5 gallons into an empty tank and it never ran out of gas! It...

Is the Yamaha a 2 stroke, a 4 stroke, carb. or EFI? This all makes a big difference on fuel economy. Try not to compare a boat to a land vehicle when it comes to MPG. This will not work for boats due to different factors with vessels and currents. Use Gallons per hour for a given RPM then figure...

Wanted to share an update with everyone about the fuel consumption difference between the 1998 Honda 40 hp carb twins to the EFI Honda 40s. After sea trials I am able to run the boat 800 Rpm’s less than the old Carburetor engines and make 15 kts- 20 mph. So carbs burned 2.5 gallons per hour...

New 2022 Honda 40s

I second Tom’s quote; “There’s nothing like a C-Dory”.

For day trips I bring two 5 gallon buckets of water. Launch the boat, spray brakes down with Salt away, dump five gallons of fresh water on each side of the trailer. This is the key. Not many people do this because they can’t wait to take the boat out after launching. Salt water and baking in a...

I've been trying to repower the boat for 2 years but getting my hands on new 40's have been a challenge. Then a dealer in Ft. Lauderdale who was getting RIB boats made in Ukraine stopped getting boats, he was stuck with 9 brand new in the box Honda 40's! Felt like I got a deal @ $6500 dollars...

I see many post on the site about owners going from twins to one larger single and some go with larger twin motors when they repower. I am going with the same outboards, difference 24 years newer. Honda 1998 40's to Honda 2022 40's. Looking forward to see if there is any change in motors...

Love it. But the only way I would see the need to get a genset that size for our boat would be to have the ability to keep our roof A/C running and run a small hair dryer at the same time. I have the Honda 2200 companion model and we use it to keep the A/C running non-stop underway. Runs our...

Ordered two! Thank You!

http://www.c-brats.com/albums/album3057 ... .thumb.jpg I built some proper drawers for our 22' Cruiser. It feels like a whole different boat! This is a must upgrade for a C-Dory boat.

Subscribed! Thanks for making the Videos!

I buy REC89 (no ethanol) in Florida. I have one large aluminum fuel tank that is partitioned in the middle. Each side holds 20 gallons for a total of 40 gallons. Never have drained the carbs, I use Sea Foam (standard) fuel treatment by the gallon at O'Reilly Auto Parts for $52.99 Each. I fill...

Harvey, Thanks for sharing the information about the models. Might start making some Tom Cats if anyone has detailed line drawings of the boat it can help with a design. (I don't own a Tom Cat so it will be quite difficult to build it as close to scale) Love the low maintenance and running...

C-Dory Half Hulls (Have a couple left. Message me if interested)

I believe in my opinion, that the boats built before 1998 are the best value for the money. Even if it needs a trailer and a new engine. I like the real fiberglass aft hatch covers over the battery compartments and the plywood interior that can be modified very easily. Unlike the molded newer...
