Fred, C-Dory factory removed the port drain plug and routed the battery cable through the hole on our '03 Cruiser. Sure is a pain in the behind to service the batteries in ours, I can imagine that it is even tougher with your current set-up. Good luck on your relocation project! "Chivita' Dave

Richard, Our C-Dory came with a small non-powered fridge from the factory which broke in the first rough water we encountered. When I returned it to the factory they told me the reason they installed it was that it was required by the IRS if I intended to write the boat off as a second home...

Dave, I bought the trailer dolly that has two small (small as in the size you would find on a very inexpensive lawn mower) wheels on each side of the axle. I'm not sure the carrying capacity as it was the last one the store had and they were selling it cheap. It works well with small and light...

Bill, I read an opinion on another web site that the load range of the tow vehicle's tires also has a great influence on the vehicle's ability to resist sway. For example, a load range "E" tire has ten plys and thicker sidewalls than a load range "D" with eight plys. Since you have the great...

C-Weed, One thing I learned from an "Old Salt" when I asked about slick bunks and spray lube. Although they will make it easier to launch, they also make it easier for the boat to slide around while you are trailering it down the road. He had found that this tends to result in scratches all...

That photo of "Snoopy-C" should definetly be on the brochure, either front cover or back. You could also put a photo of the Red Fox discussing how much a C-Dory can be customized to fit an owner's needs, but then again with all the improvements Red Fox has undergone, you would need a whole...

Next door to the Arima factory is the un-official gossip. Used to be a ski boat manufacturing place or something like that. Actually quite a nice facility with what looks like enough room for all the C-Dory/Tom Cat platforms. If that is finalized it would be great for those people shopping for...

Jeez, I wish all the non Californians would just get over the fact the California is such a great place to be from. I'm sure the Beach Boys would have sang "I wish they all could be Washington Girls" if it had made any sense. And yes, I am sooooo sorry that Arnold never wanted to be Govenator of...

Butch, When we bought our 22' Cruiser, the shore power basic set up was priced at $750. I thought that was a bit much and I was not sure we would use it enough. After owning the boat for a year and tripping over extension cords draped here and there I figured the cost and time of installing the...

CaptK, My father put a Coleman on top of his homebuilt houseboat about four years ago, it was one of the smaller Coleman models costing around $600-$800 as I remember. The interior of the houseboat is slightly larger than a 22' cruiser and the Coleman cools it off on low with no problem. My...

George and Penny, One last idea from my parents motorhome (and then I'll hush up), they installed one of those electric winches on the rear bumber of their motorhome. Their bumper was well made and bolted to the frame in several places so the bumper can handle the load. If they get into a...

George and Penny My folks have either a 28' or 32' Class A that they tow and launch several different boats with, both single axle and dual axle. So far they have not had any problems and from their comments the two most important reasons are: A) They work very well as a team in that they have...

Starcrafttom, Just let your wife know that if she's really worried about bears, she should attach some small bells to her tennis shoes (so the bears can hear her coming and get away) and to carry some of that special pepper spray just in case they don't. Also, keep an eye out for bear scat...

Have you ever tried to remove something that you glued together with 3M 5200 (or Boatlife Lifecaulk)? Once this stuff dries, it is tough to remove but there is a way! I cannot claim to have originated this idea, but it works and I thought I should pass it on. Find an old flexible/thin bladed 1...

Stopped by the Kent factory today to purchase a set of cabinet hinges. Scot (President) came out to say hi, remembered our names and seemed to honestly want to make sure all was well with our boat. Doubt there are many company leaders nowadays that show that level of service. While he was...

Congratulations ERANDY! Waiting was tough for us too, but we are as jazzed about our boat today as the day we finally got to pick it up! Have never lived in your neck of the woods, but we moved to Washington five years ago and we love it. Definetly the right boat for these waters, you can go out...
