Regarding the cabin top's weight capacity, I recall a comment Mark Toland made in 1989 when we rolled my sparkling 16' Angler out the factory door. "You could put an elephant up there," he claimed. I think it's reasonable to believe the bigger C-Dorys can accommodate more weight than a 16. Maybe...

This thread is fun to read, and it supports what I've always believed about Brats. It's the boat, you bet, but just as much it's the friendships we create. And Leo, nice to hear from you. Are you thinking about another boat one day?

She sure is a beauty.

Dwight, thanks for sharing text and videos of your beautiful Bertram. I'm glad to hear you're still planning to rendezvous with us whenever we get the OK to crank up group gatherings again. Once a Brat, always a Brat, as far as I'm concerned. That goes for you, too, Peter. Hey, Dwight, I'll be...

Nice post, Gary. And Harvey, now that you mention it, maybe we should plan a C-Cruise to Princess Louisa next year. Provided they'll open the gate.

Yeah, that one's pretty easy. Beautiful, too. :photo

Hey, Steve, congrats to you and Joanie for pushing the start button on a new Venture 23'. You'll love it, and someone's going to be darned happy to buy C-Sharp. And Factory Mark: Keep those photos coming because it's fun to get a sneak peek at those beautiful new boats.

Not me, Pat. I don't believe I've ever seen that boat, and it's pretty distinctive.

Thanks, Steve (and Pat), for that Reid Harbor photo. I had such fun there with you folks! And I loved the walk to the lighthouse. Harvey, I'm glad you could hook up with Al and Karen on their 2020 Salish journey. Tell 'em I said hi if you see them again. Brock

Curioustraveler, thanks for checking in with your impressions of your C-Dory. They sure are fun, and I know how you feel. We all do! :thup

Dr. Bob, thanks for setting the record straight on the number of 29 footers built. It's clear I didn't do my homework on that one. But this much I'm sure of: spotted Al and Karen on Life of Riley, and Joan and Steve on C-Sharp at Sucia and Stuart Islands last week! And Roger on Sensei, just...

I always wonder why those guys don't just ask the genie for a dozen, or even a thousand more wishes.

Foggy, thanks for bringing to my attention those quotes from two supremely intellectual men. I've long enjoyed reading quotations from famous, and not so famous, individuals the world over. If I could just dip my toe back in the political pool for a minute, I want to say that while I think...

Roger, I agree! Nice shot, and thanks for posting. Good to hear from you.

Thanks, DaNag, you just cleared another reef up ahead--and bumped another! Make mine a single. :beer

Yeah, Mark, after reading your post and dodging those stones, I thought it might have been a good idea for you to pull 'er back a few hundred RPM's. And hey, I get riled when anybody goes after my pal Pat! :cocktail

Foggy, thanks for the quote from Plato. I've long felt that we should have the emotional maturity as adult men to weather the political beliefs others express. Some of these comments are aimed at guys like me, center-left politically, but my first inclination is to ask myself why does something...

Dwight, tell Fred and Joe I said hi. And 11 days ago at Sucia I saw the most unique of all C-Dorys: the rarely spotted 29'. It's not quite the ivory billed woodpecker, but I believe I'm correct that just one was built. Nice couple, keeps it up in Pat and Patti country, Blaine. Besides my boat...

Nice photo, and a beautiful boat.

And I'll second Baxter's motion for Hondas. My '17 150 HP has 530 flawless hours of loyal performance. A really fine machine, matched with the 23' Venture, it routinely yields 4+ statute MPG and scoots to 39 MPH at top end. Plenty of power, and a jack rabbit hole shot. I expect to get at least...
