Thank you all for your kind words. I have gained so much knowledge from this website since first finding it. All of you C-Brats were so helpful to me in making the right decisions on a tow vehicle and a boat. I look forward to actively participating in The C-Brats. Terry

My wife and I are now official C-brats! We just bought "Tortuga Del Mar" in Stockton CA. Can't wait to get it to my home in Oregon and on Anderson Is. In Puget sound. She is a 2000 Cruiser with 550 hours of use with two EFI 2005 Yamaha High torque 50's with 90 hours on them. . What a dream to...

Thanks Sunbeam! Yes I am really happy about my boat. I will post details once the purchase is complete. I have been looking since August. I tried your link and they don't have cards for the 2006c. I would be very interested in finding out how to program a blank card with the data from a CD...

Hello C-brats I am about to purchase a press-owned 22 cruiser and am so excited! The current owner had a Gpsmap 2006c with data card for the US west coast. While sitting at the marina, someone stole the chart plotter. The owner bought a used one for me but it has no data card. Searching the...

Thanks, Harvey, that is a great idea to do that.

I think I probably didn't have the degree slope right, but a previous post to this thread mapped the slope to 19%. I just know it is really steep and a worry. Terry

Yes it is, and that is the real dilemma trying to get a vehicle that will tow a CD22 up that hill and safely take it down the winding hill as well.

Hello C-Brats, I will be purchasing a pre-owned CD22 in the coming months. I am having a delemma as to a tow vehicle for a very unique situatiion. I have read posts from the past but none of them address my specific circumstance. I will be cruising from Anderson Island, WA. The only place...

Jerry took me out today for a cruise on the C NIle. We cruised the Columbia River. Thank you Jerry for taking the time to give me my first experience in a C dory. In a word, fantastic. Now I see why these 22 Cruisers are so popular. Now it looks like I am going to have to get serious about...

Jerry, Did not get your PM, but sent you a reply PM. If you did not get it, let me know. Thanks, Terry

Hello C-Brats. I am a retired University Professor and live in Corvallis, OR and have a vacation home on Anderson Island, WA. My fiance and I are looking to buy a used CD 22 Cruiser that we can use in the Sound. We like everything about the CD 22 Cruiser, however, neither of us have ever been...

Nice analysis Sunbeam. One of the things you mentioned and one that I have considered is that I might just get an inexpensive older 3/4 ton 4x4 and leave it on the island to launch my boat. I have some other considerations regarding other vehicles and trading/selling that needs to happen...

Having trouble finding pictures of Sweetpea. I see pictures of My Heaven, but not the Sweetpea boat. Where am I going wrong? Is the trailer single or double axle. Thanks, Terry

Thanks for all the input. I think you have convinced me that the safety factor of having a good 3/4 ton diesel pickup is what I really need to haul a CD. One determining factor that I had not considered as completely as I should have was not only launching and ramp angle, etc, but on Anderson...

I am trying to consolidate my towing and RV needs in one vehicle. I am looking to buy a used CD 22 Cruiser, and also a Leisure Travel 21 Ft. Sprinter Free Spirit RV. It is a Mercedes diesel-powered RV. It has a 4000 towing capacity. I would really like to use the RV to tow the CD-22 without...

Thank you all very much for your input. It looks like the CD for me will need to be a 1987 or later Cruiser because I need the cabin bed configuration. I am now checking every day here, yachtworld, boattrader, and craigslist. Terry

For sure I would add some width to the berth for my fiance. The 6' 2" is not an issue for her. Probably a nice compy memory foam mattress and extension board.

Since I am still looking for my first C-D, where can a person buy regular non-ethanol fuel? I can only find premium non-ethanol where I live. Do marina's have regular non-ethanol fuel?

Can a Honda or Yamaha 90 HP use premium non-ethanol fuel, or should a person stick with regular ethanol free fuel?

According to what I am reading, any C-D that is built after 1987 that has a 6 ft. convertible bed in the cabin is a cruiser. I was at South Marina in Newport, OR yesterday and stumbled across a 2007 C-D Angler with the owner there. He told me he slept on the convertable bed at times. How much...
