    Sandy aftermath- the boats

    I am always amazed at what boats look like post storm, and even wonder about what it would take to get some of them back into running condition. Because obviously somebody buys the salvage vessels. I wonder how many of them ever see the water again? One of my guilty pleasures is to peruse the...

    Canvas Manufacturer

    Guys- my brain is slipping after the boat show, and I connot remember the name of the canvas shop in Seattle that was doing the C-Dory enclosures and such when production was in Auburn. I've had two phone calls in the last few days about this, and I can't recall the company's name. Help?

    Since you asked- 9.9 versus 15 kicker

    So- if 9.9 is good, 15 must be better, right? Since up until recently most 9.9's and 15's were built on the same powerhead there was no weight penalty for going bigger. And if Smiling Bob is to be beleived, bigger is always better. Well, maybe. First we have to understand "hull speed". Hull...

    Status Update- Kitsap Marina

    Would you buy a C-Dory on sale?

    We were talking the other day, and have realized that we have sold no new C-Dory's this year, not counting any left over that might have been in stock. In fact, the number of people looking at C-Dory's has been way below average, with an increase only in the last few weeks. The factory would...

    Honda 135 on a 25C prop Question

    What size props are on the 25 Cruisers powered by the Honda 135? We've sold the one we have in stock, but we want to play with prop sizing a bit. I think information on 15o Honda's might be helpful as a starting point as well. Thanks for the help!

    Dead Battery?

    Dropped our 25 C-Dory that we have an offer pending on in the water, and had no power at the dash. "Darn" I thought- "Dead batteries". Wrong- wing nuts. So here's the reminder for everyone. Do not use wing nuts on batteries. Use regular nuts with lock washers. In fact, the use of wing nuts...

    Yamaha outboard availability

    We have just been informed that there will be very limited numbers of Yamaha outboards available this year. While the small motors seem to have a fair level of stock, the larger (70 hp and up) will be very hard to find if a dealer does not already have it in stock. If your plans this year...

    C-Dory 20'

    We just serviced a motor on an unusual C-Dory. A 1991, and if I'm reading the HIN correctly, it is hull number 15 or a 20 ft series. A nice boat with a modified V hull, short cabin (Angler sized) and in deck storage and the deck sits above the hull. I have some pictures, but hae to figure out...
