As a checker of this board multiple times daily (tho an infrequent poster), I get a ton of value from Bob’s thoughtful, experienced and measured posts on everything C-dory. Thank you.

Very very nice. Note to lookers: This boat for sale is on Page 2 of his album in the last folder. (I made some incorrect assumptions the first time I looked for it!)

Thanks, Bob. It's the missing out on four years of the C-dory experience that bothers me. About the money part: It is just money. And more importantly, the AAPL stock I need to sell to buy my boat has moved from $42 to $143 since this thread began. Taken thusly, C-dories are relatively less...

Bump. Anyone have anything to add to this FOUR+ year old thread? I am a little incredulous that I have hesitated so long -- or rather, that I stayed interested so long, that I haven't wandered off to get interested in something new! Any input appreciated (not including observations ending in...

And it’s a high top, which makes it significantly more desirable to a lot of kids.

Thanks for the reminder. I have sent along this year's "dues" in the hopes that the site will help me find my perfect 22' Cruiser this year. And even if it doesn't, I am enjoying the heck out of looking!

Spoken as if by someone preparing to make a low offer. I concur strongly with Thataway -- I have been watching the used C-dory market pretty closely for the past couple years, and I have yet to see it soften at all. Good luck to the seller with sale, tho you don't need luck -- that looks like...

Pix loaded for me last night, but do not now.

Beautiful boat. Ad copy doesn't say it, but • It's a high top, which is hugely important to some. • It's red, and we all know red boats are faster and better. Good luck with sale, should go quickly!

I get the feeling this is going to be a great trip report. :thup

Vern mentioned to me this morning that this beauty is SOLD. (Sold within a couple weeks of listing, for full price).

Is RED really that much faster than blue or green?

Either I am slightly losing my mind, or posts are occassionally showing up as new several days after their initial appearance. For instance, right now there is a New Today post for a 2006 C-dory named “Miss Maria.” I am almost positive this exact same post was new last week. But I see no...

Ordered. Looks great, and well written. I feel like I read a blurb of yours elsewhere. I vaguely remember your description of the guy you bought the boat from, and a even vaguer memory of a clever description of your boat....

:thup I just downloaded the Kindle-book and am looking greatly forward to reading it. This is my first Kindle download, if that gives you any indication how important I consider this reading to be!

From his blog, Souder says, "I’ve often compared her to a VW camper of the sea, but without the Teutonic design excellence, mechanical reliability or Grateful Dead stickers." About the purchase, he says, "I bought my C-Dory used from Pastor Kirby in the summer of 2007. To his credit, he never...

Thanks, all, for the advice. Lot of wisdom here. Two of the take-aways that particularly resonate came from Boris: 1) Take the Power Squadron classes AFTER getting the boat, thereby changing theoretical learning into practical learning, and, 2) If I am letting "good deals" slip by, maybe I...

I am having trouble getting off the fence with regard to buying my first C-Dory, and I wonder how others have made the leap. Specifically in my case • I am a novice boater (kayaks, paddleboards, canoe). • Probably the acquisition and operating costs of a 22' Cruiser will not make a...

Thanks, guys. It just struck me as strange that the rivets are covered with an unfinished FG glop, whereas the thru-cabin fittings (presumably for the stanchions and windlass) are backed with stainless hardware. It had not occurred to me that the hull-deck joint overlaps, and rivets are...
