Not enough time available to be on the water. School and work are eating every available moment. It is tortuous to have the water, dock, and boat in the back yard; yet not the available free time to utilize the asset. So I am going to sell my 16 Cruiser and be boat-less for the next 18-24...

Well my skinny water fishing addiction is acting up again. I am looking at putting my 2011 50hp E Tech on a 17 foot flats boat, and selling Sweet Pea's hull. Any ideas of the value of a 16 Cruiser Hull? The boat is in excellent condition for a 1998. Pictures are in my Photo Album on this site...

Well bent the original Bimini frame several months back. Decided it was time to go ahead with a "to do list" project and have one made that I really wanted! More like a Tee Top than a Bimini. I looked at several versions in many photo albums on this site, and finally just drew one on paper and...

Use to have an Avatar, but I deleted it. I can't remember how to post it! FYI, I am trying to add it after my signature this time. Read the instructions but all I got so far was the location of the picture on C Brat imbedded within BBC code for a picture. Apparently I have somehow damaged the...

Just repowered with a 50HP ETEC! The 16 Cruiser POPS out of the water now. Top end is a couple of miles faster now at 30 mph (GPS). Not that I run that fast regularly. Loving it so far. Just as quiet as the Honda BF 50, but the tone is different and there is less cabin noise. Most important to...

Exploring the possibility! Anyone ever "Raise the Roof" on a 16? Not necessarily the entire roof, but at least the raised center section. I am considering this mod and wondered if anyone has done it before. No since in re-inventing the wheel. I'm looking to at least raise either the entire...

I recently read on, C Brat, that at some point the transom coring changed from Balsa to a different material. Does anyone know when this occurred, or if this occurred? If so what was the material? I have a 1998 16 Cruiser and the coring of the entire vessel is sound. But, I just happen to be...

Several months back someone posted a picture of their custom bimini. It was attached to the handrails on the cabin and the roof rack. It left the entire back area open an unobstructed for fishing. I though it was on a 16 but I am not 100% sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I was wondering why the C Dory manufacturer never changed the power rating on the 16 Cruiser. From what I have read the vessel easily calculates into the 60 hp range per the Coast Guard calculation table. And with some manufacturers, there isn't much weight difference between a 50 and a 60.

I am trying to see if there is a place to purchase (new or used) a fast back cover for my 16 cruiser. I am not sure if I am calling it by the correct name. I have the full canvas enclosure (tent type enclosure for lack of a better word) I am looking for the one that goes back at an angle. It was...

Has anyone installed a permanent tank under the passengers seat (port side)? After some measurements it looks like one of the Moeller 12 gallon permanent tanks will fit on my 16 Cruiser! I was just checking to see if anyone had already made the modification on their C Dory. I know it will fit...

I just picked up our first C-Dory. A 1998 16' Cruiser. Not my first boat over the years (probably my 12th) but it is our first C-Dory. The 1998 50HP four stroke Honda hanging off the transom does not have any markings on the prop. Just wanted to know if anyone knew the correct (best overall)...
