    Gas Prices

    My little Toyota Echo gets 40-50 MPG (depending on how I'm driving) they truly are an under appreciated toyota model. sold like hot cakes in Canada and other parts of the world, but the prius outshined it here. Bonus: no one knows how long they actually last, because they just keep on going...

    I am new to the group and looking for a 16 cruiser

    Something I can give first hand advice on: Others are pretty much spot on here. My first cdory was a 16-angler. I consider myself fairly minimalist, and I managed to enjoy a summer of camping on mine, but over-all I'd report that the 16 is just too small for comfort--especially with two people...

    Is my boat price to high?

    Over the winter I've been educating myself on the gold and silver market. The term "price discovery" often is used for it and other commodities. I think I just had a realization on that concept. Could c-dorys be in a new "price discovery" phase of markets?

    Rosborough 246 Rib !!!

    Shoot! Why not, it's not like they pay for their own fuel. They were probably running down another one of those "threats" on the Canadian border. I feel safer just thinking about it. Thanks guys!

    Is my boat price to high?

    Beagle, I've thought from the moment I discovered the Cdorys that you have the nicest 16 out there...period. After taking nearly a year to sell my 16-angler though, I can say that the 16s aren't easy to find homes for, and since yours is so nice, and a bit more than most as a result, it's going...

    For Motorcyclists

    I completely agree with this. I'm of the opinion that people (or perhaps Americans) are getting more afraid of nearly everything on a daily/yearly bases. If we stopped doing activities that might hurt or kill us, well, may I suggest a human sized hamster ball? I will NEVER stop riding...

    For Motorcyclists

    This is your brain... This is your brain on bad techno music. He actually wasn't going THAT fast. The camera angle made it seem more daring IMHO. That said, what a pointless risk. I've ridden bikes my whole life. I've never been in a serious accident, and never made contact with another...

    Trips for 16' C-Dory's

    Apostle Islands!!! I had my 90 16-Angler out in the islands for 3-4 day stretches and they were the highlights of the summer. Sleeping: I cut out the bulkhead and slept kitty-corner (beers at Tom's Burned Down Cabin/bar helped a lot) :) There's 22 islands out there and only one has people...

    Kicker Motors

    My first 22-cruiser had controls to the 9.9 kicker up in the cabin and it was wonderful. I hope to do the same with the 22-cruiser I'm refitting now.

    Another new owner on Lake Superior

    L'anse is a wonderful part of the UP. I have a good friend who grew up there (and of course he's Finnish) :) I hear it's one of the few places in all of the great lakes to catch giant Lake German Browns (Lakers?) whom normally stay in the streams. I've been trying to explore every square inch of...
