Hooks, My C-Dory is a flat bottom 1988 and it had no directional control at all in reverse. :smilep It was like trying to back an inflatable. :sad The skegs not only help with the backing, if I throw her into a sharp high speed turn, there is no skidding, she just banks like an airplane...

Thanks Harvey, I love the boat. She's a Cork and banks like an airplane. :thup Though it still bothers me a bit to be referred to as CUTE !! (And my friends know it.) :crook

When I bought my 16' C-Dory I looked through all of the C-Brat albums to see what others had done. As an old aircraft mechanic, I tend to think in terms of weight and balance. and hanging an OB out past the transom would effectively increase it's projected weight and effect your overall balance...

Added a few pictures to the album of us as seen on Google World from satellite in 2014. "You can run, but you can't hide." :wink

New 50hp. E-Tec in 2014

Looks like us....

Caught by Satellite, Prevost Hbr. Stuart Is.

OK Harvey.... I'll start writing down the names and try to get them to wave. :wink

Yeah Harvey, I'll have to start writing down some names if I see one and I could get out my "Lung Powered" fog horn. I may be mistaken, but I think you went by this morning headed north. Jack...... 8)

Rained so much up north this year, I couldn't stand it any longer. :sad I finally moved the windshield wipers. :smileo They had originally been mounted in the corners of the windshield by someone who obviously never had to use them. :disgust Those short little blades would only reach the...

I'm not really sure what was happening to the old 40hp. It was a VOR system I wasn't familiar with and it had been modified.The oil pump had been disconnected and you had to premix the oil. I tried cleaning the carb and everything else I could think of, or find in the overhaul book. I decided...

My venerable 1988 40hp Evinrude finally died and I was "forced" to upgrade last summer. I have been wondering how a 50hp E-Tec would do on a 16' C-Dory. "Happy Birthday to me" :wink Let me tell you she goes like stink. :twisted: and is more economical to run so far than the 40hp even with all...

Seems like C-Dorys frequently go by my house here on the Swinomish Channel, but I've just about given up waving because they seldom wave back. :sad Jack... 8)

This last one was quite a summer Harvey. I burned a hole through an exhaust manifold, lost the battery charger and an alternator in the big boat. We didn't get any further than Desolation Sound and cut the trip short by 3 weeks. Everything is back together now, but I've been places in my boat...

Sorry to say my 1988 40hp Evinrude packed it in four days before the 4th this summer, so I bit the bullet and bought a new 50 hp Evinrude e-Tec. WOW!!! What a motor! I had less that 5 hours on it before I had to make an emergency run home from the San Juan Is. Round trip of 80 miles and Rosario...

Hardee, A long, but very interesting read. :thup Jack... :smiled

Last time I was in San Josey for Freejollies and Tort-tillas I didn't have a problem (sorry my mother wouldn't teach us Spanish). I haven't had any problem with Two-la-lips, Swim-on-ish, or Scagg-it. I guess I'm a natural :wink Glad to see Cabela's. Last order to Midway USA they wanted...

Bought an under water (IR) video camera (60ft. cord) along with small B&W 12 VDC TV package from Harbor Freight a while back for $100.00. Jack... :smiled

I just had a large window put in the back of mine and zippers in the sides so I could reach out and snap the sides down. The top is off most of the summer, but I'm occasionally tied, or running with my stern to the rain. Jack... :smiled
