The 23 does not have a self-bailing cockpit. (Nor does the 22.) Unlike the 22, the 23 does have a full-height transom, but it does not self-bail.

These discussions easily get off-track. The molds for the 23 foot boat originally built by a company called Cape Cruiser were acquired by C-Dory. The 23 foot Cape Cruiser built in 06-07, and the 23 foot C-Dory built 08 to present, are basically the same boat. These boats are all called...

Welcome to the best boating site around! Lot's of good information to be found here. The 23 is a great boat. Owning mine was the best time of my life. Here's a few things in response to your questions. First, the 23 Venture was first built in 2006 - you won't find one older than that. (And...

Some of us were a little disappointed in this year's rules change that allows boats (if they meet certain requirements) to choose to go outside (west) of Vancouver Island. I think that change could significantly effect the character of the race. Interestingly, even though five boats were...

Thanks for the reminder, Bob. I also am prone to checking in on the race at all hours of the day and night.

Very puzzling. You are right - you would think the Permatrim would be at the surface when the boat is on plane.

Serpa4, just to make sure everybody is on the same page here. When you are assessing the depth of the Pematrim below the surface of the water, are you talking about while the boat is on plane? That is definitely what you need to check. The Permatrim should be right at the surface (maybe a...

A possible "point" of confusion on the tab: Some may think of the tab "pointing" as indicated by the movement of the edge of the tab furthest from the tab's pivot point, i.e., which way has the line of the tab moved off center, or which way has the aft edge of the tab moved; Others may...

Agree 100% with Colby. Andy is friendly and extremely helpful - even patient and kind to the ignorant beginning boater I was when I called him.

If you type "Permatrim" in the search box just above your post, you will find a ton of discussion. I loved mine. I think most people who install them do also. I would recommend following the manufacturers instructions on installation. I know mine called for bolting on. One important aspect...

Upper left on the Home Page (it says "DONATE" in red) - unless, ironically, as happened on a tablet screen of mine, a pop-up ad covers it up.

Sounds like an excellent game plan. Thanks again for all your efforts. This is, and will remain, my favorite place in the webosphere.

Interesting article in the NY Times about the Columbia River Bar and the Coast Guard Motor National Lifeboat School. If you like to read about conditions you never want to see in your boat, here's another place for vicarious enjoyment of extreme danger...

That has happened to me, too.

On my Samsung tablet the ads mess with my page layout and with navigating around the site. It is more than annoying. It makes the site pretty much useless. OTOH, on my desktop, I have no issues at all because I installed an ad blocker. Kinda hate to do that because it defeats the whole...

The latest edition of Waggoner's has a picture of a C-Dory in a beautiful Inside Passage setting: https://waggonerguide.com/waggoner-flotilla-trips-update/ Anyone know whose boat it is?

It's enough to make you drool, isn't it! Unfortunately, I'm afraid for my budget that exchange rate would have to be about three to one. Regarding the outboard: There are two show model boats in the OP's first picture. One does have a Yamaha hanging off the back. Might be interesting to...
