With the outlook of high gas prices is C-Dory ready for very fuel efficient displacement hull model? I'm thinking of the CD 22 cabin sitting on a stretched out double ended hull, pushed by a 10HP outboard. Hull speed of 7kts and fuel economy of 12-15 mpg should be possible. Do you think there...

If there is no real advantage in handling with twins, then I think I would go with a single and Kicker. The 4 strokes have become very reliable and the biggest issue I have seen is fuel quality, or just water in the fuel. So unless you have a separate fuel tank for each 40, both motors will have...

I did a search on the forums and did not find any posts that mention Thermacells. I recently learned about these from some camping / hunting friends and thought I would share. They are a small hand held size unit that keeps all types of small flying bugs away from the area your sitting...

Thanks for all the replies! I have read several of the twin vs single discussions and know there is no single right answer. I did read several times that having the twins right next to each other did not give you full advantage of opposing motor direction. So I thought if you could get them as...

Is it possible to mount twin 40's on a CD22 far enough apart to fit a swim ladder in between? I'm guessing there would be a steering control rod that you would have to step over? I will be single-handing the great loop and would like as much motor control as possible. So I thought if I could...

This really shows the strength of this community, Roger went out of his way to get one of these grill for me because I don't have a West Marine near me. Thanks Roger, I included a little taste of Kentucky with your check for the grill, hope you enjoy it. Greg

OK, I'll go today and see if I can get it. Roger Great, thanks Roger!

Yeah, if you could pick one up at the $48 price I'd be glad to pay the tax and shipping. Let me Know, thanks, Greg

Thanks very much, I'll give Joanne a try. :thup

I just called the a west marine in Fort Walton and they just gave me the $69.88 price, what did you ask for? The internet also shows $69.88.

OK how are you getting that price? I don't have a West Marine anywhere near me, but would love to get one at that price.

Ooooh, cooking with coal, now there's a great way to ruin a steak! :shock:

As a proud owner of a Big Green Egg grill, I will suggest that you all give lump charcoal a try. Unlike the brickettes, lump charcoal is 100% pure, no fillers or binders, it will improve the quality of your meal. It also lights easier and requires less.

The first photo in your post did not show. It looks like he has a tool to index the gem to cut each of the facets, is that correct? How are opals cut, or are they just polished?

Thanks for the videos, I especially liked the one on energy. Do you have any photos of the cut / polished opals that you found? What is that process like?

"I recall this being the 2nd time you have been provocative with me. Perhaps you have a mindframe that tolerates little to no diversity....so be it." I don't understand the intolerance either, this was posted in the "General Chat" forum, which I consider open to all things boating. We...

I think this the perfect place to ask his questions. People who own C-Dory's are not mass media buyers and should be able to offer plenty of good advise on fairly uncommon style boats. (non go fast rockets) If you can't take a minute to help out a fellow boater, don't bother to post. Sheesh!

:D +1 Thanks Wefings!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Bad points...heavy, need cart, dry storage inadequate, hatches too small, impossible to paddle without rudder, although that isn't why you want it. Early models had a problem with the metal bracket that the rudder line goes through. Sail in only light winds, use the new 20 square foot sail...

Thanks for the web-log links Georgs, I'm reading the one with the Motorcat 30 right now. Interesting boat, it has so many creature comforts, yet still has an outside, open-air cockpit. Well no boat is perfect. I'm enjoying his trip to the Bahamas, I hope to include them on my loop.
