How about replacing the fishing rod with a gun and going duck or moose hunting? Actually I did put R/C boat guts in a mallard decoy years ago. I even made the head turn in conjunction with the rudder. I was going to incorporate a pellet pistol into it but quit that idea when it made so much...

After lurking on the old Cdog site for a couple of years I purchased my boat from a member sight unseen 1800 miles away in 2001, knowing that the group of owners that I had been observing were trustworthy enthusiasts with nothing to hide. I sold it the same way in 2013 to a young couple that...

HEY, I'M IN HERE!

Wipeout?

one way I thought about protecting my EU 2000 from occasional rain was to put a little bracket on it to hold a shortened umbrella shaft. One time while beached I put my inverter on the shore to reduce noise and vibration. It was threatening rain so I dug the handle of a golf umbrella down into...

I have no ocean experience but just the thought of 2 adults and 3 youngsters confined to the space of a 23 foot boat overnight makes me anxious enough. I've had 6 souls onboard a 22 for day cruises and it was very intimate and that was without any of the extra gear required for camping. Maybe...

I'll be honest I only did it once 3 years ago in November during late afternoon. No problem with stopped traffic or delays, just very scary (to me) high speed crisis cross lane changes with very little clearance. I think at one point about half way through I was on a 6 lane near downtown that...

I have experienced both. The main difference is that in Chicago they try to scare you but don't actually run into you. :lol:

Absolutely correct! Salt Lake City, WORST RUSH HOUR ON PLANET EARTH!!!

You tube is my first go-to with everything from dishwaser repair to headlight replacement. Never even thought of it until you mentioned it. I'm going to start fishing again and find I have forgotten how. Thanks to all for all the help.

Foggy: I carry a small 9mm. I'd say what make but if I did you probably would call me a " fan boy". I also have a Mini 14 because it doesn't look as "evil" if it is ever shown to a jury and a Tavor because I can carry it to And from my car in a racquet bag on my condo elevator. I carry my larger...

I was trying to look up fishing by trolling on a Cdory and so as usual I googled "trolling" but I just got this and it doesn't have anything to do with fishing or boats. Can someone please help me learn the how to properly fish while underway on a Cdory? Thanks. Internet trolling In Internet...

I think you should move this post to Facebook. Let's keep this about boats! My feelings are no one should respond to this post one way or another.

I had that happen as well. To rule out a tach malfunction I switched out the leads from the 2nd tach. After seeing that one bounce too I knew the tach wasn't the problem. One advantage of twins! Yay Twins!

With regard to the necessity of A/C on a C-dory: it can get very hot and humid up here in Wisconsin but while underway, even when in no-wake areas, I've never seen a need for over a decade of cruising. HOWEVER, trying to get to sleep on a hot night it is absolutely needed.

Thanks for posting the picture. The only time we used it was when heat and humidity made sleeping difficult. The temp differential was amazeing given the uninsulated space. But hey, when climate change is complete, who knows what we'll need. You may just need a heater down there.

I had a camper cockpit enclosure on my 22 that I adapted to a 5000 btu window air conditioner. I made a small shelf that held it out over the splash well so that only the front vents and controls peeked through the rear cockpit curtain. I pop riveted a channel onto the sides and top of the a/c...

Ok, here's a wild shot in the dark inspired by my one time experience of a cup of clear water in the v-berth step down area. Do you keep your portable-potty there like I did? My upper tank leaked the flushing water. This won't explain the larger amount of water but... Wishing you a speedy solution!

You can expect spider web cracks here and there on any plastic boat. ( they are not an inherent C-dory weakness!!! ) They show up around areas that flex from stresses at window and hatch frames and where gunnels join superstructure most commonly. Some are caused by impact (hard docking) or even...

I've been away for a while and was surprised see the thread take a turn or two. Thank you Sunbeam for an accurate appraisal of my intent. I love C-dorys but I let myself be haunted by some of the awful repairs described and documented here. Photos showing rot and cracks for one thing. Questions...
