    Weight CD 25 Real Life.

    Bess-C was on a 5400# King Trailer per C-Dory's recommendation when we bought her from EQ. It was the first 25 that they had sold. A couple of years later Les told me that he thought the boat was too heavy for the trailer, so he traded out the trailer for a new 7000# trailer. He didn't make...

    My new 16

    The idea of being able to tow a 16 is of interest to me. If I could tow a 16 C-Dory I could use the bigger boat as a floating fishing lodge. If we took it to someplace like Barkley Sound, friends and family could come and go over a period of time. The problem is, I don't think the bigger boat...

    Uh Oh III

    I don't have anything to add to the discussion on the macro level, but I have had what I consider some encouraging economic news within the last week. We are a distributor of machinery that is used on production lines. I have heard from two of my manufacturers within the last week. They...

    stern thruster idea

    We live in farm country. We got ours at the John Deere dealer and it was adjustable. It didn't look very nautical with the JD logo on it. But what the heck, we're country and didn't know any better. It sure did remove lot of stress from windy days in tight surroundings. Lyle

    stern thruster idea

    I second Bob's suggestion of adding a suicide knob. I couldn't believe how much it helped slow speed maneuvering in our 25 to be able to turn the outboard lock to lock quickly. Lyle

    stern thruster idea

    I recently had a stern thruster installed on our new boat. In researching thrusters, I found this solution, www.sideshift.com. This didn't work for me, but it is a way of adding a thruster without having the expense of adding a tunnel. I'll stay out of the discussion about whether it's...

    Bought a 16' today

    Beautiful boat for the area. Whenever we go to the Florida Keys I try to rent a good flats boat. I've often wondered if it would be cheaper to buy a boat and leave it there than rent. It can be hard to find any of the boat rental companies that want to rent flats boats. The price you paid...

    Say a little prayer

    Bob, Sorry for your and Marie's loss. Thank you for your great description of her life. Although I never met your mother-in-law, it's always encouraging to hear stories of great teachers. I believe good teachers can have almost as much impact on our lives as our parents. You are in our...

    Bessie 45

    Dusty, from the pictures and description,I think your Tolly is one of the nicest 26's that I've seen. Our boat really walks hard to starboard in reverse, makes it tough to dock on a port side tie. Hopefully the stern thruster will solve that problem. Harvey, no water, just takes a little more...
