Shawn & Marcy--- My 16' cruiser has been in the Atlantic and Pacific, the Intercoastal, the Chesapeake, the Gulf of Mexico, the Erie Canal, the Ohio & Mississippi Rivers, Kentucky Lake and varoius inland lakes in the U.S. In all conditions, and I have found the cruiser to be totally reliable and...

Boy- that is a great looking boat, do you have any more pictures?-- Rich

Mark--- I found that Standout Yacht Fitting in Longbranch, Wa. 1-800-622-1877 makes custom bags with flaps in various colors for stowing extra lines for sailboats. These are small enough to attach with snaps behind the seats or in the cockpit of my C-dory, I am also considering a narrow one...

Byrdman-- have you heard any more about the POSSIBLE Florida gathering in Feb.? I haven't heard from any other members except the Fran Sea. Thanks Rich

Hello All--- did anyone hear anything more on the interview that El & Bill had done for the documentary on the Erie canal? I believe it was at Fairport. Rich

Hi All--- I haven't heard much more on the Florida cruise in Feb. My C-Dory and motorhome are in storage in Melbourne Beach. I plan to be there during the month of Feb. Roughly figuring there should be at least 12 members in Fla. at that time, so maybe we should try to get some kind of cruise or...

Deb & Fred--- Cabbage Key, an old historical island is on the gulf side, west of Useppa, south of Cayo Costa, & north of N. Captivia. Islands. Randy Wayne White(a local author,who writes about the area) can sometimes be found here. Hopefully this is helpful Rich

Hello All--- Cabbage Key is a great idea, but they do have limited dockage with all the lunch & dinner boats coming and going, anchoring out is a possibility, the owners also own the Tarpon Lodge with docks, lodging, bar, & restaurant nearby on Pine Island which might be useful. Rich

John--- Just remembered, a" former" C-Dory dealer in the S.F. Bay area had two or three sport models for sale orginally, could be a possible source. Also somebody in New Jersey had purchased another one a couple of years ago, this person use to be on the c-dog site. A few years ago the c-dog...

Hi All-- I always thought that the 22' Sport would be a great boat for Florida, the Keys, the Gulf, the Chesapeake, & most of the lower eastern seaboard, where heat & humidity can be a problem, with all the open area for ventilation, this would make a great day boat for charter or outings. It...

Apparently there was also a recent article in the Log Newspaper, about this problem. Not sure of the exact date. -- Rich

Did C-Dory ever make a 18' Angler? Could it possibly be a Toland 18.8? Being that it is in Fla. I'll bet it is an open fisherman deep v- type boat with a Bimini top and not related to C-Dory. Rich----wondering in Calif.

Thanks for the imput--- I received an e-mail this am. that apparently Boat U.S. is making a study of this problem, so it maybe worse than I had orginally thought . They are asking anyone with any information to contact them at cfort@boatus.com The opinion is that this problem is only affecting...

Hello--- Does anyone have any information on the problems of using Ethanol in older fiberglass gas tanks? Ethanol apparently eats at the resin in these older tanks, gets through your filter without a problem and causes some major problems to your engine. I notice throughout the U.S. more and...

Skip---I will contact you when I get to my place in Melbourne Beach, next month. I'm not really that far from you. I'm planning on spending some time on both the eastern & western sides of the Fla. intercoastal water way and possibly some time on the inland lakes. Rich

Rollie--- thanks for the input, I've ordered a couple of patch kits today, my biggest problem has been finding the correct color and to be able to allow for some fading differential. In southern calif. there is a fellow who does pretty good mobile work, and seems to be reasonable, his business...

Steve---And all this time I always thought these things only happened to me. Hopefully things have improved for you. The last time I hit a deer the damaged turned out to be the same as my deductable. Rich

Hi All-- how about something a little different, there are several chains of lakes, around the Rhinelander, Eagle River/Three Lakes, & Minocqua, Wisc. areas. The cruise easily be as long or as short as for each individuals needs. These are sort of isolated areas,wind conditions are usually not a...

Jimbo--congradulations on your recent purchase, I'm sure you & family will get alot of use out of the "Hunky Dory", and the price was right! So what if it does need some work that's just part of boating. Even the newer ones always need something. Enjoy Rich on Don Quixote

Fred- sounds like some good advise, why haven't you signed up for the 2006 Chesapeake gathering? Just watch out for your local deer ticks they can also do you in. Rich
