To me, there is nothing subtle about the difference in the ride between a Venture 23 vs. 22 Cruiser. The Venture I rode in - Catman's - was nothing short of amazing. I'd be happy in either, but if budget is not a consideration - I find the Venture 23 more refined and enjoyable. Especially with...

I've ridden in both. It's extremely noticeable to me. "Different" is the operative word. I can't say one seems better than the other, and would be happy in either. However, the Classics have a noticeably flatter turn whereas the 1987+ tend to carve more. The greater the speed, the more...

I must say...I've gotten to the point where the minute I see/hear "Covid/Corona" anywhere on the Internet or radio - I immediately change the channel. I'm so thoroughly sick of the topic, for so many reasons. This thread however, has been a breath of fresh air. It's a welcome respite from the...

I'll steer clear of commenting on the health concerns of having the gathering, primarily because the practical reasons to cancel it make sense. Unfortunately, there's not a great chance I can make September. Plans were to sell my Nordic 26 shortly after the FH gathering, so I'll likely be...

That's always been the case with NADA and KBB. Plenty of posts about it here, and it's not limited to C-Dory. They list my Nordic in the 20's, and it's worth almost 4x that. I don't recall the details, but I think either NADA or KBB might include only the hull in their valuations. If the...

Wow...first time I've seen that. I looked back a bit through your posts, but didn't see any explanation as to the source of the water. Did the tank or one of the fittings leak?

Sounds awesome, Harvey - I'll join you along w/my brother in the Nordic. And, we're planning on heading north up into Canadian waters after FH. Probably for another 2+ weeks. I'll start up another thread for anyone interested in that.

Merry Christmas, C-Brats. Y'all make this "job" one of life's greatest pleasures. Love and virtual hugs from the Da Nag household. :xlol

What a guy. I probably met Dusty a dozen times or so, most of those when EQ was rigging my 22 - but I swapped many an email and PM with him throughout the years. In his younger days, he lived in my adopted home town of Port Angeles - a place he clearly loved and enjoyed reminiscing about. The...

I've swapped several emails with Ricardo in the last couple months. I'm considering either a Marinaut or Venture 23 purchase next year. I'll leave it to him to provide updates, and will drop him a note asking him to chime in here - but he's clearly focused on delivering the Marinaut.

Don't know, Dr. Bob - and didn't think to ask. Should have, but my mind was elsewhere...looking towards the future, not the past. :mrgreen: It's sitting outside the factory, right around the corner from the main entrance.

Paid a visit to the factory yesterday with Joe and Ruth of R-Matey. Perhaps some of you locals have seen this, but for the rest of you - here's a bit o' history. This ol' gal birthed many a C-Dory 22 Cruiser - maybe yours.

But...it's not. :mrgreen: If one uses iOS/Android devices standalone, perhaps that laundry list of deficiencies I listed aren't important. For those of us that prefer and/or need the integration Navionics provides - claims of superior Aqua Map tech rings hollow. Further, while Garmin has a...
