Hi Marty, Diana and I sold our CDory last year. We miss the boat, but we’re not using it enough to justify hanging on. Our small fleet of canoes and kayaks, plus an aluminum skiff satisfies our need to be on the water, but I suspect we will downsize again as time moves on. I wish you and Dot...

Gary, no experience with it, but to me that looks very much like a crudely made competitor to the Permatrim. I believe they will aid steering, but I’m not sure how much.

Peter, we have launched at Telegraph Cove and Alder Bay RV. The last time was 2006, so my recollection might be outdated, but I would not recommend Alder Bay. It had an exposed ramp, and the RV park would not allow you to leave the boat in the water overnight Telegraph Cove had much nicer...

Bob, our condolences to you and Marie. She was a sweet pup. “If there are no dogs in heaven, when I die, I want to go where they went.”  Will Rogers

I’m another vote for the Garmin InReach. We use it any time we are traveling to let family know where we are, and to let them contact us if there is an emergency at home. As I often bird hunt alone, it’s always in my vest to summon help if I am injured or need assistance.

Ummmm, I’ve had more than one PM about selling a boat I don’t own.

I don’t own a 25. Actually, I do not currently own a CDory. I’m hoping to pick up a 16 in the future, but I still don’t own a 25. :roll:

Boating with Bob and Marie is a graduate class in seamanship.

Peter, what a great post! I do however have to question your judgement. After reading Farley Mowat’s masterpiece, “The Boat That Wouldn’t Float” and learning about Screech and all of its traditions, I decided I had to partake of Screech. So... Diana and I, on our honeymoon in BC hit a good...

I have been infatuated with the R21 for years, but I believe the CD22 is a wiser choice. It has more room, better rough water capabilities, and engines that are easier and less expensive to maintain or repair.

Pat, I think you’ll like the Suzuki, and the team at Sportcraft. My only other comment is to make certain you get a good walk through with the digital panel. I found it a bit difficult to initially understand. Best to you and Patty! Steve

Ken, do you have the long shaft Suzuki 2.5? I tried the short shaft on our old boat, without a great deal of success. I think the long shaft would do OK.

The newer GCI Pico chairs are great... until they’re not. I leaned over to pick up up a dropped item and had the aluminum casting break.

Be careful with the slant back mooring cover when traveling. I had one come unsnapped and proceed to beat the snot out of the Honda 90 cowl. I had to replace the cowl, and have Bentley’s fix the mooring cover.

That may be the first time I’ve agreed with Foggy. I believe in self defense, but found the video and a few comments inappropriate. 2020 can’t end soon enough.

When we had our boat, our Engel was used as just a freezer, with a small Yeti as the cooler. We rotated bottles of ice between the two so we didn’t have to rely on the garbage ice at Lake Powell.

Lew, I believe it was the 2014 CBGT when we saw the strippers at Defiance House in Forgotten Canyon. The striper fishing was good there that year as well.

My 2¢. A 22 cruiser is great for fishing 2 people, OK for 3, and crowded for 4 or more. Look for an Angler if you’re looking for room.
