Why? I guess I can see that contaminated fuel that took out your main would also be a problem for your kicker, but on the flip side having access to the main tanks would allow for a longer run for the kicker to get home if necessary. Just curious on your thoughts here.

There are a couple of EFI 9.9s out there. Nice to not deal with carbs for an infrequently used motor.

That's pretty cool. I'm struggling with the whole dinghy thing, but I have been advised it would be good to have one, with the dog and all.

I'm surprised that boat weighs only 40 pounds... what is the "skin" made of? Because it is not a flat bottom boat I can see how it might be tippy to climb in from the side. If you could "hang" it from a cleat while boarding that might help. While I think that dinghy would be awesome on the...

Sounds interesting, but it says "this trip is private."

Hah! in 14 years I'll be ready to sell it on, I'm guessing.

Finally got the trailer registered today. I lucked out and got a DMV clerk that didn't understand GVWR. She asked me what the trailer weighs empty, and I hazarded a WAG of 1000 lbs. Also, the trailer had not been titled in Michigan. So she then gave me a license sticker for the trailer tongue...

I suggest you move this thread to the appropriate section, it will get more attention. Have fun!

I have a few pieces of ceiling wire that I use to hang brake calipers when working on my truck, seems like it might be stiff enough to hold its shape, if handled gently. Maybe.

Thanks - I sent an inquiry to Advantec (SeaGlaze) on the advice of another member, so we'll see if anything comes of that. I wonder if a guy could make a screen frame out of heavy wire, like the wire they use to hang suspended tile ceilings in commercial buildings?

My "new" 1999 22 does not have window screens. The sliding side windows appear to have an extra track on the inside that might accommodate a screen, although I'm not sure how you would operate the sliding glass on the outside of the screen. I have searched and read about some of the DIY ideas...

The PO was able to get the trailer registration with the old VIN from his DMV, so here's hoping that will satisfy my DMV.

Just tried again. As soon as I click on the new password box or tab to it from the old password box it inserts a "strong password" into both new password fields. I can't delete it or type anything there. Maybe it's a Mac thing, I dunno.

Yes, I have tried that. The website "suggests" a strong password and I can't delete the suggested password or enter my own. Maybe there is a way but I haven't figured it out.

I talked to the PO and learned something significant - the trailer was originally single axle, but he converted it to double axle. So the VIN was associated with a fairly light GVWR I would imagine... if we can just find it. He is going to try his DMV and see if he can dredge up the old VIN.

Is there some reason I can't use my own password? Unless I am missing something, I cannot figure out how to get rid of the suggested "strong password". Which may indeed be "strong", but this is just a forum so who cares? There is just no way I can remember these gibberish randomized passwords.

FWIW I just bought a C-Dory advertised here. To my knowledge it wasn't advertised anywhere else. Of course, I would suggest that buying and selling be restricted to those designated sections of the forum, which is one of the advantages of this format. I mean, I get it - I was once a member of a...

Hi everybody, guess I should introduce myself. My name is Steve, and a few days ago I picked up a 1999 C-Dory 22 Cruiser from Curt in Michigan, and am just beginning to familiarize myself with the boat. Living in Minnesota I have a fair amount of experience handling small boats, but nothing as...

Yeah, I'll probably just wing it at the DMV. As long as I can get a license plate for the trailer I am good.

I just bought a 1999 C-Dory 22, came with a Load Rite tandem axle trailer that appears to be the same vintage as the boat. The VIN sticker is gone, and I need to know the GVWR to register the trailer with the state (Minnesota). Anybody happen to have that little piece of data? A trailer rated...
