    Towing weight

    I have a 2009 GMC with the towing package rated up to 8,500lbs and have towed my new 25 cruiser with twin Hondas only once for 160 miles so I can't claim a lot of experience with this boat/SUV. But here's what I like about my GMC. First Onstar. Great comfort in knowing that in an emergency...

    Thanks Boris... I'll check the pump. First glance found no leaks in the fixture connections, etc.

    Get~Aweigh Trailer Mis-Hap

    It was rather exciting. That day there was extremely high wind in our part of the flat midwest. I hit a spot where the wind got very strong and I, along with other cars and trucks, really got hammered by some gusts. It didn't last but a few seconds but was very noticeable. I loked in the...

    Thanks for the responses... I didn't think of the storage option for the table leg or for the anchor light. We had a radar stand and dome with an attached anchor light installed that swings down when we tow the boat so I won't need to use the brackets in the vberth. As to how we're doing with...

    There are some brackets in the cabin of our 2008 25 Cruiser that I'm sure are there for a purpose but I don't know what that purpose is. There are 2 large brackets in the cabinet under the galley sink and some smaller brackets in the v-berth hanging below the shelf that lines the wall above the...

    I will miss you, mom...

    I'm very sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. And I understand what you see in your Father's eyes. My Father died in 1997 and my Mother several years later. She went on to live her remaining years as that generation has always done, positive and reasonably happy but there was always that...

    Air Conditioning

    Thanks for all of the input... I've made my mind up to go with the rooftop unit. Looking at the Penguin for the low profile. What I like about this site is the almost instant response you can get to a question and the stored information you can scan for things like this. The snow is finally...

    So our new 25 Cruiser is getting rigged with electronics and I've talked with the people doing the work about A/C. They've speced out a Cruise Air Vector Turbo 8000BTU marine air/ heat unit complete with dual zone ducting, digital display/ control, circulating pump, water intake/ outlet...

    I didn't mention one of the things that attracted me to the C-Dory. In 2006 we made a two week trip from our boat slip in East Harbor on Lake Erie up to the North Channel. When we were coming back on Lake Huron after passing Saginaw Bay the wind was strong from the Northeast and we were the...

    We kept our Doral at Marina del Isle in East Harbor and our 400 in a prvate slip at Bar Harbor. Always enjoyed going over to Leamington Ontario, the islands, etc. It's a great place to boat... Thanks for all the responses...

    Friday we bought a leftover demo 2008 25 Cruiser with twin Honda 90's from a former C-Dory dealer in NJ. Right now the boat is having a camper enclosure made and getting set up on a trailer and then it will be moved to Huron, Ohio for electronics. The reason for taking it there is we've had...
