At her new temporary home with Morro Rock behind

Immediately post-renaming ceremony

Getting ready for maiden voyage

Thank you, gents. I will need to go research it a little more closely. It makes perfect sense that it would power the battery charger (which resides in the transom locker nearby). But it doesn't. It runs past the charger and into can't-see-ville. By observation and process of elimination, I...

On my new-to-me 2006 Cape Cruiser 23, I have a plastic cap in the transom just below the engine. Under the plastic cap is a 120V-15amp plug. When I put power to the plug, nothing happens. When I put power to the plug AND turn on the inverter switch at the helm, I get power to a 120V outlet on...

Pretty sure this one got bought on May 8, and this thread can be moved to "Marketplace Reference"

Very first leg of the long trip between Lopez Island, WA, and Central Calif. on the day of purchase

I am the brand new and proud owner of a 2006 Cape Cruiser 23. As a rank amateur, I question whether I am doing this right, as shown in the photo below. Apparently, first you buy a boat; then you put the boat on a trailer; then you put the trailer on a ferry over water. Somehow, I thought...

Looks like a High Top, too, which adds significant value for the vertically-endowed among us. I don't know what a realistic asking price is, only that it ought to be more due the raised cabin. Good luck with the upcoming sale! (No, I am not in the market :-) )

I just finished wondering about this my ownself. Turns out you need to send a private message to one of our admins and ask them to set up a photo gallery for you. Once they allow you access, putting pix in should be pretty straight forward. The admins I know of are username TyBoo and username...

Nanaimo Craigslist has quite a few pix of this gorgeous boat, for thems that can't wait for photos to get posted here.

Thanks, Colby, for thoroughly documenting your trip. Looks like a hoot!

After more than eight years of toying with buying a C-dory, I finally aligned the stars and bought a 2006 Cape Cruiser 23 from Lopez Island. Go me! My intent is to go pick it up in early May. It would be great to see you all at the Friday Harbor CBrats Gathering, but I will have to pass due to...

Thank you, TyBoo, for the validation! Makes perfect sense.

Thanks, joeFB, for sending a test message to my PM. I received it, and replied with all my might, but my reply is in repose in my Outbox, rather than actually being sent.

I seem unable to reliably send or reply to private messages. I suspect it is user error, and would appreciate help removing the error. Specifically: Sometimes I try to send a message (for example, in response to an ad that says "PM me"), and my response languishes in my "Outbox," without...

Absolutely. The Venture 23 is on my short list. I passed on that recent one for sale in Texas (Easy Victor) because I am a bonehead. Several talks with the owner indicated it was a good match, but I couldn't/didn't change my travel plans to be available in time to make it happen (I suspect "cold...

Thanks for weighing in. I appreciate the input and hope for more discussion. A couple of responses to the excellent points made above include: Fuel economy: In my mind, fuel economy might not be all that big a piece of the ownership cost puzzle. If the average outboard* runs for 100 hours per...

I haven't been able to buy "my" 2000s C-dory 22 high top yet. Sometimes I feel like my shopping efforts are more of a mental exercise than actual movement toward a goal :-). That notwithstanding, a year ago I convinced myself that a Venture 23 could work for my projected need. Recently, I have...
