    New Guy Old Questions

    For a second I thought you were asking my opinion! I'll add what I can. The visibility is great on all these boats. Get the trim tabs. They work great and will make a real difference on a long transit out and back. No matter how many crab pots on one side you'll be able to level the boat...

    Winter Storage framework

    Great Winter wrap Job! We use the same model when storing boats for the winter at our Marina in New Hampshire. Most boats here don't have a hard top to rest on so we have to fabricate 2 or 3 of the vertical supports you have on the aft end and make a sort of tent. Otherwise the cross beam...

    Trailers for C-Dory 25?

    Thanks for the fast replies!! I'm tracking the above as we speak. I also had a long talk with the EZ guys and heard the same about custom fitting trailers to the 24' (Tomcat) and 25', but was told there was no production schedule or anything to mark on my calendar. Gotta like the fact...

    Trailers for C-Dory 25?

    Anybody have a trailer for a C-Dory 25 that is NOT a "King" or "EZ loader"? I'm on the East Coast and the Pacific options won't work out here. I'm looking to order a trailer and wanted the model # of something I can get locally. The C-dory is so new to the area that no trailer dealers want to...

    Need right size kicker motor for 22' C-dory

    Dear Dave, I don't deal with the Johnsons too much, but the last I checked they had a different engine cover/size/profile. I agree that they are the same in wt etc, but the top of it WAS different. I could very well be wrong this year, but they WERE, and I just cringe when...

    Need right size kicker motor for 22' C-dory

    Dear Pat, I'll keep you posted. If you want to PM me with your E-mail, I'll see if I can get somebody to contact you, although I don't mind being the go-between. I'm feeling the same pain you must feel when you hear somebody complain about a C-Dory or bad dealer service...

    Need right size kicker motor for 22' C-dory

    Dear Pat, Maybe its an Alaska thing. As a dealer, most things get here next day, 2 days max. They have distibution centers in PA, Atlanta, and Brea, CA. Service is a big deal for Suzuki. Quick example from New Hampshire. Our distributer is in PA, but if they don't...

    Need right size kicker motor for 22' C-dory

    Johnsons are not Suzukis. They have a wider (and "white-er" ) bodies. The Suzuki 15hp is the same wt and shape as the Suzuki 9.9hp. For a couple hundred bucks you can get 50% more horsepower. One consideration some people have is if the 'kicker' is doing double duty powering an...

    Need right size kicker motor for 22' C-dory

    Just because the Suzukis are new to C-Dory (so not many installed) doesn't mean they should be overlooked! The 9.9's are great, and for only $2-300 more you can have the 15hp. This is a great time to buy as the 2005 orders are being paid for right now. Also, ask the dealer if he has any...

    Looking for a C-Dory and to becoming a C-Brat

    Just talked to the Suzuki Rep (24sept04), so here's the word for one outboard manufacturer... THERE WILL BE NO PRICE INCREASE ON SUZUZIS UNTIL AT LEAST 04FEB05. Maybe logically you can link Johnson and Suzuki, but this is business, and Johnson price increases are not an influence on...

    Bow roller on trailer chipping gelcoat

    Is this a mod required for the bigger, 22' EZ Loader trailers or for all of them?

    Looking for a C-Dory and to becoming a C-Brat

    As of two days ago the Suzukis were not reflecting an increase in price from any tarriff. Get a lock on the engine prices now if your intel says an increase is on the horizon. Fair Winds...

    Maintenance for c-dory kept in slip

    At least I said on the outset that I was only speaking for Suzuki. Again, big picture. These freshwater washdowns are for the 90+ % of people who trailer their boats and want to park it in the driveway, stick a hose on it and wash the insides free of salt. You can do it, or your wife, or...

    Maintenance for c-dory kept in slip

    At LAST! After weeks of learning, a place where I can contribute. To keep the peace, please note that everyone has been right-on with the analysis of the situation, but a big picture might be a place where I can help. We deal in Suzuki outboards, but most of this stuff is generally true...

    New England C-Dory Dealer Update

    We appreciate all the support! As directed we posted the line-up of our 1st boat shipment on the "NEW-DEALER" section of the forum. We're seeing the printers today for some glossy brochures to advertise "OUR" excellent product. If any BRATS have an idea about who I should put on a mailing...

    New England C-Dory Dealer Update

    Thanks in advance for all your help. I think the coast of New England, and especially Maine, is similar enough to the great Northwest for the C-Dory to find a popular following... as you already have out west! To all BRATS, please feel free to stop by our Marina by land or Lake! We'll...
