Safety on the ocean or any waters isn't the issue with c-dory boats. They are built to "take it." However, some people boat "stupid" as opposed to smart and well trained. So even stupid can die on a c-dory. Relatively speaking they are better boats in weather than any other small cruiser...

Ditto the 90 e-tech.

time to limp it to a trailer professional who knows what they're doing. A c clamp is not normally needed to push the piston back in. The piston should move back in easily without pressure on the back side. It is either frozen...unlikely...or there is pressure in the cylinder that is holding...

Smart move having pros do the work. At least when you sell it, pretty or not, you can vouch for the safe functionality of the work when the next owner points out the not-pretty part of the boat. Any boat I see with "owner" glass repairs always is a put-off.

Don't eliminate one of the finest motors out there, the E-tech. I love mine and the weight ant toque is much better than others in the same class. I owned a Dory with twin Suzie 50's and they were fantastic engines as well. If I had been in the re-powering game then, though, the Suzie's...

I only partly apologize for the length of this post, but maybe a few will find some fun in it. If you don't want to invest a few minutes reading, stop HERE. And on the Seventh Day, the Lord of the Earth and Heavens Created Lake Powell It was a pleasant evening on the Lake. Little Beth...

When you start pushing the 20 k number, there are a lot of people who will think that a few grand more will put me into an older 19 or 22 cruiser. I think that would be the major cap on the price you can get for a 16. There is a cost benefit line that would push people into a bigger boat for a...

This is a terrific and professional operation loved by the TugNuts http://kathysburgees.weebly.com/

200 miles to Yellowstone, 189 to Flaming Gorge, 300 to Pen O Reil (sp) or Cour D Alane, 400 to Lake Powell, but being retired gives me time and choices. I can also get to Washington State and Southern California in two days. Retirement is great. BUT, I'd love to walk out my door and down a...

Static testing of the engine in the water is going to create a much different temperature response than if you are moving through the water. You are basically lugging the engine at much lower RPM than you would experience out on the water. That is the reason that shops use test props that...

Hmmm. Hope I don't end up with multiple posts, if so, I'm having some comp trouble. Quick answer is that November through April you pays yer money and you takes yer chances. It can and does get below freezing at night. The statistics of your having a sunny and warm week on the lake is much...

Gotta disagree somewhat with the other posters. It looks to me like that boat has been hit or had something heavy dropped in. I'd definitely have an experienced professional surveyor look at what might be hidden. Just from what you've shown, you'd better build in 5 grand for professional...

UPS has never let me down.

Nooo, Bob, say it isn't so. Who will be there with spare parts and the knowledge to use them. Now all C-Dory owners going to a gathering at Powell will have to fend for themselves.

Someone bought it. If I ever could afford a factory new boat, it would definitely not be that color and trim scheme. But it will be maybe one of a kind and maybe that is what the new owner wanted.

Well, there is crazy and then there is lunatic, but people keep climbing Everest and walking past dozens of dead bodies left in the ice and snow from over the years back to 1930's. But they keep climbing and many die. On the other hand, most do make it to the top and have a lifetime of stories...

I'm getting a big charge out of your concern. As a 72 year old, I can tell you that you have good reason to be alert, but probably not concerned. My children are always concerned when my spouse and I take a long trip by car or by boat. So we use a program called GLYMPSE that allows them to...

Go find the book, "the Poplulation Bomb," It was written in the 70's along with many other books about the coming death of the earth by philosophers and junk scientists. The Earth has a sneaky habit of slapping down anything predicted about it by mere man, scientist or hippy philosopher...

California has missed the boat over the decades by NOT building many small dams to collect lost water. Thank the environmentalists for that. Ditto, Utah and Idaho. The problem with Lake Meade is too many land hustlers overbuilding with support from the Nevada political machine. There was...
