Thanks for the tip on trim! I agree that it is critical to get the trim adjusted for maximum efficiency. What I am trying to accomplish is the ability to get my CD 22 Cruiser up on plane and to maintain that plane at as slow a speed as possible. Lake Conroe is especially choppy which causes...

I am not sure what the rpm/speed is to get to planing speed now except it takes too long and is too fast once it gets there! A comfortable cruising speed, given the chop, was below planing speed in order to handle the pounding which was very pronounced at higher speeds. I have 3 blade aluminum...

I launched my new (to me) CD 22' Cruiser (2004) w/ twin 40HP Suzuki's on Saturday. Had a great time and I also have a bunch of questions. To get started I am definitely going to add permatrims and am now thinking about changing the props from 3 blades to 4 blades with the idea of more control...

One of the nice things about owning a C-Dory is this site! Thanks for all of the information! I had chance to inspect the boat before I purchased it but won't have my hands on it until tomorrow as it is on its way to Houston. :D The boat seems real clean and the twin 40 HP Suzuki's have...

As a new member of C-Brats (I just bought the C-Dory 22 Cruiser located in the Lake of the Ozarks listed in the Boats for Sale by Owner Forum) I might as well start off with a question! (With many more to follow, I am sure). How many sumps/pumps does the hull have and where are they located...

Thank you for your quick response! The ladder you referenced looks like it will work! I will have to measure the width to be sure but if this was 'standard' it is probably the one. I did notice a customer complaint about the ladder, however. They felt the ladder was flimsy and difficult to use...

I am about to buy a C-Dory 22 Cruiser which does not come with a boarding/swim ladder. It does, however, in the open cockpit area, have 2 small fittings mounted on the top of the cockpit side where you would use a hook ladder (if I had one!) to get in the boat from the water. It seems to me...

Thanks for all the information I have already received in previous posts. I have located a potential C-Dory 22 Cruiser (2006), have looked at the boat, and have more questions: -Toward the bottom of the chine just before it meets the bottom on the front starboard side I noticed an area of...

Thanks Everybody! Probably an EZ Trailer. :D

I am in the process of buying a CD 22' Cruiser and am trying to figure out the manufacturer of the trailer it is on. The trailer is a galvanized steel tandem wheel unit with a hard to read logo on it that looks something like 'SETrailer'. I am more confident about the first three letters (SET)...

I am also in the process of finding and buying a C-Dory as you are but I have past experience with painting boat bottoms. I highly recommend finding out what the current bottom paint is as this can have everything to do with where you go from here. If the bottom has been painted multiple times...

I have read several posts about the use of trim tabs on CD 22's. Don't most outboard motors had adjustable trim and tilt controls? If so, I am just wondering why the trim tabs are so popular! :D

Thanks for the input, everyone! On another note, is it possible to stand upright in the cabin? I don't recall seeing how high the roof is. My wife and I are both under 6' tall. :smilep

As I shop for a C-Dory 22 Cruiser I am reminded by my wife that we live in Houston and she wonders how hot the cabin will be while using the boat during the summer. At the dock we can rig a small A/C so no problem there. From my perspective it seems the cabin roof would help protect us from...

Great information! Thanks :D

I am considering buying a C-Dory 22 Cruiser with twin Suzuki 40's (4 Stroke) on her. Engine hours are about 600 to 700 I am told and have been recently serviced and run well. Is this a good way to power the C-Dory? I see lots of them have a 70 or 90 HP with a kicker. As far as I know...

As per previous posts my wife and I are considering buying a CD 22 Cruiser. While researching we noticed that the interior layout (traditional with pilots seat on starboard and dinette on port) appears to only offer seating for 3 people. Is this correct or do the dinette seats (which in some...

Thank you for the information! I was not aware that the boat for sale information was retained and available! I took a quick look and saw Osprey (which seems like a similar, well cared for boat), listed at $39,900. I almost believe I have to buy a C-Dory because of all the support that is...

Does $45,000 seem about right for a 2006 C-Dory Cruiser 'low mileage' and loaded? (90 HP Suz + 9.9 Kicker) I know there are lots of variables but just want to see if this price is in the ball park. :D

Thanks to all who have responded to my request! I am happy to find so many interested in the C-Dory! I contacted Marc at Wefings and had a good discussion with him and as a result he will send me information, etc.. In the meantime I will keep a look out for C-Dory 22's for sale to see what the...
