Is your 90 Yamaha a 2 stroke or 4? My concern would be with the weight on the transom. Just my 2 cents worth! Bill PS - I don't drink either! :oops:

Thanks Dave, Maybe another time. I really like the Washington area. My son was stationed at Bremerton, on sub duty. I've heard stories of private boats being towed in the Strait of Juan De Fuca and not by big fish! While my boat is being worked on in Kent WA, my Yamaha 90 is getting...

Dave, Just trying to get the monkey off my back today (you're right there are no dumb questions!). C-Dories are very good boats and I'm proud to have had mine since late 1990. It has been an excellent boat for me. My boat is currently in the shop at Kent, WA for some upgrades. It's going to...

Da Nag & Sea Wolf... I have reread some of this Marine Surveyor's material, based on your stated concerns, and I can see what you're talking about. C-Dory has went to great lengths to provide a quality product. That is exactly why I purchased my C-Dory and I was fully aware of the Baltec...

I think we've covered the subject! And, the reason I decided to post those internet sites into this subject thread is because it is relevant to "Balsa Core Construction." Thanks Guys! Hopefully, we've drawn attention to the very spine of each and every C-Dory out there! Cheers, Bill

I would imagine that there are C-Dory owners on this site who could benefit from being aware of the damage potential of a loose screw at the base of the fuel tank strap. Although most owners trailer their boats, the fact remains that standing water inside of the boat can also result in...

Sea Wolf... I agree with you one hundred percent. It is something to be aware of for those who consider a thru hull transducer or water pickup. To do it properly is a difficult task. :| C-Dory does an excellent job of construction with this material. Bill

For those of you interested in boat trailers or those who have taken the time to read about this infamous trailer and live in the vicinity of C-Dory in Kent, WA, it is presently on their premises. It is probably the only boat & trailer there with Nevada registration. To see this recently...

Part VI I really don’t know how many of you do your own service work on trailers. I’m not encouraging anyone who doesn’t have some experience to read this and try doing your own work, it could turn out to be a night mare. I’m in an area where I have little choice, but I have had previous...

This is a continuation of Junkyard Trailer Stainless Steel Connectors As previously mentioned, this custom Baja trailer has all stainless steel connectors. I’m sure some of you are very familiar with stainless steel, but I wasn’t except that I knew it existed and it was expensive. For those...

Part IV CUSTOM TRAILER by XXXXXX Engineering ???? Lets start with those tires, which were previously mentioned. This "Custom" trailer of mine was built to comply with a specific load rating which is posted on the trailer somewhere. Mine is posted near the tongue and states, "Gross Vehicle...

Wheeler Dealer... Thanks, but no thanks! My experience with this trailer has been extensive & expensive. I hope to assist anyone headed this direction to not have to go through what I did and additionally, make boating safer for the C-Dory clan. I think I can make life a little better for...

Part III HEADED HOME WITH MY NEW TRAILER The trip from Carson City to LA isn't too bad until you reach the outskirts of that massive population. The thought crossed my mind that I needed to be on the road with my trailer before the commute starts! The next morning, I arrived at the...

Part II I guess by now, readers are trying to figure out what all this rambling is about. Well, to begin with, the trailer under your boat is nothing to take lightly as it represents a tremendous liability to the owner. I hope to enlighten boaters about some of the inherent problems of a...

My 22 CD is powered with a 2 stroke Yamaha 90 together with a 4 stroke Yamaha 9.9 for trolling. I have two 18 gal tanks. I also have a 19 gal live bait tank which I use occasionally. I position the bait tank against the cabin bulkhead with the cabin door held open. I fish in the ocean...

Part I POSTMORTEM: I'm sure the majority of boat owners can relate to the evolution of boat trailers since the first Neanderthal invented the thing to haul a dinosaur carcass back to the cave. There have been very few improvements over the ages. True, we now have rubber tires on rims rather...

I've been just lurking until now. Thought I should post something to get rid of that ZERO. I've had my boat since late 1990 when I picked it up in Kent and drove straight thru to Carson City, NV. Ever since its been like the old days when the VW owners honked at each other on the road. Great...
