I just returned from a trip where my 22' cruiser took a beating in rough seas. Upon return I noticed that a 2" wide by 16" long section of fiberglass connecting the cabin floor to the cockpit was loose. As a result, the short vertical section of the cabin wall under the door has play. I am...

Following the long drive to Anchorage the bow of our new C-dory is pitted with a hundred nicks and dings from gravel. :crook What are my options for repairing cosmetic blemishes in both the blue and white gelcoat? Thanks, Jim

I am looking for a used CD 22, but I would also consider a new boat if the price is right. I am wondering whether anyone that bought a new boat requested to see a copy of the dealer invoice that lists dealer's cost and MSRP for boat and options ? I know that years ago you would get a grimace...
