Clearly, The E-tec has far more torque. They should have put on a lower pitch Yamaha prop, to get the rpm's up and help the motor rev up. BUT, the E-tec still would have outperformed the 4 stroke. I had a RF246, heavy hard pushing boat if you wanted to push it into the 20 mph range (...

There have been a lot of very good comments, about why the C-dorys are not being sold in greater numbers. I do honestly believe there are " new young buyers " coming into the market every day. I believe a lot can be said for a dealership that has there heart behind the product. That enthusiasm...

I used a product called Tuff Coat, it was the smoother texture option . Ordered from Amazon with the epoxy primer. Used on the horizontal surface where the sunlight UV had caused the gel coat to craze. Been on a year so far, holding up very nicely. And the texture looks great. A water based...

I agree with Starcrafttom, it is a shame. The wine, ambiance, and lighting is already in place, C-brats organization. The dealership may favor there other boat lines, harder to be enthused when you favor your brawny offshore Osprey or Weldcraft. Not the right boat mix ?

A TomCat and a 23 Venture, does not seem like the dealerships and factory are putting on much of a showing. After walking around, thought, I'm seeing all kinds of aluminum skiffs ( very simple low cost models ). Why is the factory not putting on a larger show ? Off course, the Ranger Tugs...

Having owned the Rf246, I will attest that the side sliding doors are a very handy feature. Ventilation, managing the mid ship cleat line, and access on to the side deck if needed. And mine never leaked water. The side deck and the cabin top rail height made side access very nice. And the RF246...

Hardee, Since you reside in Sequim, what would have been the RT cost of the Port Townsend- Keystone ferry ride for your trip to Bellingham gathering. Hard to believe anyone would be willing to drive into that Tacoma/ Seattle traffic mess, just got back last night after a drive into that mess...

I have had a 6 hp, 20 hp, 25 hp, 50 hp, and a 115 hp Mercs, all provided lasting service. Not a single one died an early death. All motor manufacturers have had lemons in there line up. Some of the Japanese motors have had Real corrosion issues, and died an early death ie. Yamaha 225 exhaust...

Are those deck lids standing proud of the deck itself ( like 3 to 4 " ) ?

The interior looks very dated, and looks very well worn. But the hull looks Nice, and the back deck is for a fisherman. Great.

Can not believe what I have just read. Transom tow eyes and bow eyes are for towing. And the actual weight imposed on those components in a towing application, are far different than a lifting situation. Now to the hull. A hull is built with a backbone of sorts, whether on a trailer or in the...

I'm going to buy a Canadian license, not purchase a WA State license, do my fishing on the Canadian side of the line. WA State has made fishing around here unpleasant and very regulated. Not to mention; the resources are going south. Besides, in less than 45 minutes of leaving Skyline Marina I...

Tom, I don't read this as excluding us from the US Border& Customs requirements. Or will it ? The Anacortes office of Customs, is insistent that I would have to return to Cap Sante office before returning to my slip at Skyline. I hope your right. alan

San Juan Islands, don't let the secret out.

From dory to tug. That 23 has really amazing space and finish, do doubt you will really enjoy it. And that hull can actually get up and go. Enjoy !

Mark is the customer service manager, I will PM you his email address. He is located out of the Vancouver, BC office. They do not sell direct.

Sounds like you will need a new rod and a seal kit. The seal kit is about $80 dollars, I dont know the cost for a rod. It might be simpler to just buy a new cylinder kit. Bought mine off ebay, I'm thinking it was about $225 ?

Looks like what I suggested. I am not saying anymore !

A lot of discussion about whether a C-dory can be used " offshore". Offshore areas vary tremendously by geograghic location. I would suggest visiting marinas in the area you are wanting to boat out of. Look around to see what other people are using ! Even the canoe can go out in the right...

Good installations require "best practice techniques". Just because the vent fitting had been installed in a location, does not preclude putting it in a better location. Hose loops are the "best" way to prevent water flowing into your tank. Water runs downhill ! Also, the vent line should have...
