We had similar experiences with Canadian and U.S. border experiences as El & Bill when we were towing our 25 back and forth over the years. The Canadian side asked a few questions and said have a nice holiday. The U.S. side varied from nice to abrupt to downright jerks. We never had any real...

Les, The Cowbell name came from Shelley's sense of humor. I asked her what she wanted to name the little C-Dory and she said Cowbell. I didn't get it, so she said if the big boat's name is Bessie, shouldn't the little one be Cowbell. I guess I should put a cowbell on the little boat so that...

Les, Add me to the list of people wishing you well on your new venture. I have a great deal of respect for you guys and I hope this is a great success for all of you. I also think that this boat fits a niche that is going to come back strong as the recession eases. Regards, Lyle

Hi Marty, I understand the urge, but mine isn't for sale yet. I did put some pictures of her in my album after a good cleaning. I don't know is how many are out there. They seem to be a C-Dory mystery. One seems to pop up now and then with no rhyme or reason, and then you don't see any for...

The capacity plate says 4 people or 480 lbs. In our family, there is no combination of 4 that would total 480 lbs. No Pat, there isn't room anywhere for it to fit on the bigger boat. We'll have one more learning experience when we start to tow it. By the way, the Westcoast is still a...

Matt, Then I guess it's a good thing I lost weight a few years ago, because the size 14 barely fits. Lyle

So, if the 14 is #6 and it was built in 1992, does anyone know when the first one was built? I have the same curiosity about the last one built and the total number built. I know that I saw a new one at the Seattle boat show around 2006. Julie, yes it was the boat that you saw at EQ. It does...

That would be a good starting point wouldn't it. It is DOR14006B292. If I'm reading it correctly, it would be the 6th one built. Is that right? Lyle

I got the 14' home after getting a little service work done at EQ Marine. When I got the registration, to my surprise it was registered as a 1992 not a 2002 as I had thought. Because it was in such good shape and it had an '02 Honda on it, I had made an incorrect assumption. I don't know...

Matt, We have a Bose Sound Dock that runs on batteries or 110. It is a docking station for the Ipod. It is easily portable, has great sound and we use it at home and take it everywhere with us. We use it on the boat, we take it with us on vacation for use in hotel rooms or rental houses. The...

Pat, It sounds like this could help speed up your retirement. I'll do everything in my power to help reduce the beer inventory at our local Safeway. On the other hand, I don't see how David's life could get any better. He has a house on Guemes, a place on Maui and when he does work he gets...

I hate to interject a note of optimism into this thread, but while I don't disagree with the long term concerns, the economy is coming back. Productivity is very high and manufacturing is booming. Most of my suppliers of production line equipment have big order backlogs. My customers in...

Pat, I've been away for several weeks and saw this when I got back. Sounds like a close call. I'm really glad that you got in and took care of this in time. I read a book on vacation called "Younger Next Year" written by a doctor and a lawyer. Sounds like the punch line to a joke, but it...

So, I went and finalized the purchase of the little 14' at Master Marine yesterday. They were easy to deal with, but I think Tom's description of them was spot on. I then took it to Les at EQ Harbor Service to service the engine, put on a keel guard and check the boat over for any problems. I...

Matt, I think looking at the 14 Sea Skiff is what got me motivated to check out the little C-Dory. I agree about the fit and finish. The C-Dory seems like a finished boat, the Skiff looked like a prototype. Lyle
