Hi Shawn and Marcy, On our 2005 16' Cruiser we decided to go with the 40hp. We chose this engine because using the 40hp at higher rpms, we would eventually always reach that speed at which the dory hull would pound on the water. You'll know when that happens... :lol: Given that, it just...

Hi Shawn and Marcy, Last year I went through the same exact search and decided upon the 16' Cruiser model for numerous reasons. The hull is the same on both models and their ability to handle the conditions you suggest is no problem at all for this tough little boat. The decision you need to...

Wow...having grown up in CT, it's been a very long time since I've been home. Perhaps some military leave is in order along with taking the 22' Cruiser up to NH for this get together. I'm sure family in CT would love to say Hi as I head Northward. They may even wish to come along for some...

I've worked with Dave on my last C-Dory 16' Cruiser and have placed an order through my local dealer again with his company. I'll gladly share a few thoughts with you. First, you can have total piece of mind in his integrity. Dont lose sleep over having been charged but your side curtains not...

I'm most confident that whoever purchased my 16' cruiser last summer took her name off the hull.... So there shouldnt be another c-dory with the same name...

Cheers All, Has anyone used a solar cell on the cabin roof to allow for more time on the hook? If so, what size? Brand names? I'm not a big fan of the noise from a generator when trying to relax at anchor. Looking forward to this thread. Gary R.

Thanks for the guidance Charlie, Nurse is doing fine. Thanks for asking.

Hey All, Time to name my new 22' Cruiser. My 2005 16' Cruiser was named Rabbit's Hutch. She was on the water for 2 mos before being sold. Can the new boat be named Rabbit's Hutch as well? Bad luck? Does it matter? Must she be Rabbit's Hutch II ?? Look forward to your ideas on this...

Hi Nick, You've helped me out often when I have asked for assistance and guidance in the past.... allow me to return the favor. Choose the high radar arch as opposed to the low. I understand you want rocket launchers which can still go on the outboard rails of the taller arch. When I went...

Arriving at the 2005 Seattle Boat Show, the plan was to simply look and enjoy the show. Climb aboard everything, enjoy a hot dog, fiddle with the new electronics... Once I arrived at the C-Dory display, met Jeff and Scott and other family members/owners, in less than an hour, I had purchased...

Just love that new map...but I'm all alone, smack dab in the middle of the USA. Perhaps when one of you drives through for a visit, you will be sure to let me know. I know... I'll post C-Dory signs as if going to Wall Drug. Hmmm, wonder how far out the first Wall Drug billboard is from...

I just finished up on the Boater's World web site. An easy purchase indeed. Thanks again. Also, I've contacted the dealer this morning. I have requested the "taller" camper canvas package and ensured that it will be from King Marine. KM provided my last canvas package and did a wonderful...

Thanks Peter, Although it wont refresh the boat's battery system, clearly it is a better option then spending $1k on an installed shore power system for now. Once again, the C-Brats family helps me out. I love this place. GR

Hmmm, I'm confused about this cord. I understand that one end, of course, goes into the dock's shore power outlet, but where do you plug it into on the boat? Sorry for the ignorance... Gary R.

OK folks, If my boating is mostly done mostly in lakes or very protected waters, and not open water/oceans.... do I want the 90? Need the 90? Will the extra HP of a 90 go to waste? For now, I've selected the 75 and I cant justify the cost difference to upgrade given my type of boating. I...

Peter, Very cool graphic. Be sure to send some pictures when it's on the boat. Gary

Should I opt for the 90hp? As I mostly boat in lakes and not open water...will I see much of a difference between the 75 and the 90? In my mind, it would have been wasted hp, given my style of boating. Any ideas there????? Gary R.

Sadly, I went on a date this past weekend with a wonderful girl. A pediatric nurse. Easy on the eyes and such a sweet girl. Wouldnt you know she is not a boating fan and tosses her cookies in the smallest of waves. The bitter irony is that her father has a 75' jet driven yacht and the entire...

Hmmmm....well, first off, I think based on the C-Brat web site information, I may be the first C-Dory owner in Nebraska. As for the options.... not too many initially. I wanted to be able to get into the 22' cruiser as my last C-Dory was the 16'. My plan is to upgrade with what I need in due...

Thanks Peter, Hey, I like your graphic near your signature block. Is that the new one Prism completed for your 22? Prism is also taking care of my lettering. Same design as before just cut to the larger size for the 22. Gary
