    Tow vehicle advice sought

    I've followed NADA guides. 2wd equals faster rate of depreciation. 4wd equals slower depreciation in resale. Diesel 4wd makes even bigger difference, many thousands. Does it make up for initial purchase or costs of operation? I don't know, haven't run the numbers, but with diesels running...

    Tow vehicle advice sought

    The modern, cab controlled 4wd lock or free wheel system does the same thing as the old warn hubs. Or so I'm told. I'm pretty sure that if there was any mileage improvement, I'd have a hard time telling whether and extra bit was due to a hub change or just the better diesel last stop and so on...

    To survey or not to survey

    Salt water time versus fresh water time is something to consider in the survey or not question. Also, stored on land or on the water, and if on land, in hard covered storage or open to the weather. Used in dry parts of the U.S. or rainy and wet. If a boat is low hours and stored out of the...

    Frozen bilge water, bad noise when spinning

    If you are keeping the boat out of the water during the freezing months as I do, I pull the batteries all together and keep them warm in my garage and can top them off several times in the winter. Precludes any electronic gremlins happening while the boat is under covered storage on the...

    C-Cakes is for sale

    Hmmm...I'm selling Still Crazy too cheap. I'd better change the price.

    Simple Nav station

    I remember navigating with a compass and a map. So the referenced little combo of finder and I-phone with navionics is something that ocean liner captains would have killed for 50 years ago.

    Off Topic: 5th Wheel Trailers

    I agree with the negative comment on the fleetwood brand, having had experience with them. My preference for a C-dory compatible land camper is a pickup bed camper. We have an Adventurer that has all of the stuff that our prior fifth wheel had. Now, let me explain. The camper has a nice...

    The Northwest Passage

    Rogerbum. Your thoughts are very astute on this issue. I've made my living for the past 30 years before retirement, designing and building advanced weather satellite instrumentation. I have an in-depth understanding of instrument design and calibration. In the process of my work I had a...

    The Northwest Passage

    Space based measurements have now shown without doubt that that global warming ceased about 18 years ago We need to drop that well worn phrase. "Global Climate Change" Was the next one to allow a slow back down for the Gore folks. I think the new one that continues the slow backing down of the...

    Questions about '82 22ft CDory with transom-area damage

    In my opinion, and having looked at several 15,000.00 older C-dorys before I bought mine, this one is way over priced. Your 17 grand can buy your a cleaner and less questionable boat if you take more time to look around. I'd say your friends are correct about the 12 grand price. There is...

    Pot heads and C-Dory?

    Sadly, many MJ shops, medical and recreational AND title loan companies are mainstream "legal" businesses run by big time organized crime. That according to the FBI. But because they are, "legal" enterprises, the FBI has to take a hands off approach. The equivalent of not-profiling. Porn, by...

    27 Mile Epic Swim to Safety

    If the guy isn't wearing a life vest and a radio/epirb while fishing alone off shore, it doesn't matter a whit about the lanyard, wire or wireless. It won't be on his person. I'm really glad he made it too. Hopefully people who boat and hold football players in high regard will remember the...

    Twin Suzuki EFI 20's on a light 16

    consider two E-Techs of low HP instead. More torque, less weight at the stern. Excellent engines. No, I have no interest in them other than I own one and I own two Suzys.

    Lake Powell July 2015

    We get to the lake at many different seasonal times over the years. The beauty of the C-dory is that there are many many small coves and out of the way places that most of the houseboats cant get into. We've never had to share space with a neighbor because of the 22's size and draft. So, high...

    "It's good to be king!"

    They've violated the primary home sale value rule. Never ever be the most expensive home in your area. Supposedly makes it harder to sell. I can't even afford the little 16!

    Thataway's 2015 Florida Key's trip on hold

    It is the best thing in the world to have caring people for those late and aged years of our loved ones. My sis did her best with our mother until, at age 98, her daily medical needs became too much and too complicated for my sis and required professionals to administer her meds until the...

    small radar

    Power of the radar does matter to some degree, but a really small radar isn't going to be a mile or two. the signals are extremely high frequency and only have a little power, though it comes in pulses, so not much average current draw when they are running. The dome size has as more to do...
