Safety on the ocean or any waters isn't the issue with c-dory boats. They are built to "take it." However, some people boat "stupid" as opposed to smart and well trained. So even stupid can die on a c-dory. Relatively speaking they are better boats in weather than any other small cruiser...

Ditto the 90 e-tech.

time to limp it to a trailer professional who knows what they're doing. A c clamp is not normally needed to push the piston back in. The piston should move back in easily without pressure on the back side. It is either frozen...unlikely...or there is pressure in the cylinder that is holding...

You have posted a nice treatise there. Thanks. You've covered it all. On television, the detective hero always talks down the mentally disturbed person while that person is pointing a gun at him or her. My own friends in law enforcement says if the other person is pointing a gun at you or...

Smart move having pros do the work. At least when you sell it, pretty or not, you can vouch for the safe functionality of the work when the next owner points out the not-pretty part of the boat. Any boat I see with "owner" glass repairs always is a put-off.

Our instructor told us that the vast majority of in home use of a defensive weapon was effective if the weapon was simply fired. Casual bad guys are actually very cowardly. He told us that accuracy was less important than making the gun go bang, and the more hysterically you scream while...

Huh? I always carry me a gun so's I kin shoot me a bad guy. In fact, I hunt bad guys out on the Lake. They call me the Lake Powell bad guy hunter. I got me a high speed boat with maybe a thousand HP's. An I got half dozen wepons so's I don't hafta reload. I just grab the next 'un an' start...

Don't eliminate one of the finest motors out there, the E-tech. I love mine and the weight ant toque is much better than others in the same class. I owned a Dory with twin Suzie 50's and they were fantastic engines as well. If I had been in the re-powering game then, though, the Suzie's...

I only partly apologize for the length of this post, but maybe a few will find some fun in it. If you don't want to invest a few minutes reading, stop HERE. And on the Seventh Day, the Lord of the Earth and Heavens Created Lake Powell It was a pleasant evening on the Lake. Little Beth...

When you start pushing the 20 k number, there are a lot of people who will think that a few grand more will put me into an older 19 or 22 cruiser. I think that would be the major cap on the price you can get for a 16. There is a cost benefit line that would push people into a bigger boat for a...

This is a terrific and professional operation loved by the TugNuts http://kathysburgees.weebly.com/

200 miles to Yellowstone, 189 to Flaming Gorge, 300 to Pen O Reil (sp) or Cour D Alane, 400 to Lake Powell, but being retired gives me time and choices. I can also get to Washington State and Southern California in two days. Retirement is great. BUT, I'd love to walk out my door and down a...

Static testing of the engine in the water is going to create a much different temperature response than if you are moving through the water. You are basically lugging the engine at much lower RPM than you would experience out on the water. That is the reason that shops use test props that...

Hmmm. Hope I don't end up with multiple posts, if so, I'm having some comp trouble. Quick answer is that November through April you pays yer money and you takes yer chances. It can and does get below freezing at night. The statistics of your having a sunny and warm week on the lake is much...

Gotta disagree somewhat with the other posters. It looks to me like that boat has been hit or had something heavy dropped in. I'd definitely have an experienced professional surveyor look at what might be hidden. Just from what you've shown, you'd better build in 5 grand for professional...

UPS has never let me down.

Nooo, Bob, say it isn't so. Who will be there with spare parts and the knowledge to use them. Now all C-Dory owners going to a gathering at Powell will have to fend for themselves.

Someone bought it. If I ever could afford a factory new boat, it would definitely not be that color and trim scheme. But it will be maybe one of a kind and maybe that is what the new owner wanted.
