    2008 C-Dory Venture 23" for sale

    It is with heavy heart that I sell this beautiful C-Dory Venture 23. She is a great boat! My wife just isn't into boating anymore. I would consider trading for the right RV. I hope she finds an owner who will use her as she deserves. Check out details at...

    Trim Tab Reservoir Fill

    I have the Bennett 351 Trim Tabs. The motor, valves and reservoir are mounted on the aft bulkhead between the fuel tanks and over the bilge sump, which seems standard for the 22s and 23s. It is hard to see and to reach, but it appears as if the fill hole is beneath the Lexan cover and is tiny...

    9.9 Suzuki has me puzzled

    My kicker is a new DF9.9B. It starts and runs fine, but when I try to flush it in the raised position (using ears, of course), it starts, runs for several seconds, then dies as though it is starving for fuel. It will start back up, but dies more quickly each subsequent attempt until after 4 or...

    Owner's Manual

    Surely I missed it, but several hours of searching has not produced a manual for the 2008 Venture 23'. My boat came with all applicable manuals, but the one for the boat itself is virtually useless. The cover and first page reference the Venture 23', but all the information contained within...

    Performance Information on C-Dory WebSite

    I have been wondering about the Performance Information shown on the C-Dory WebSite. Of course, we shouldn't expect to attain the results shown there except under ideal conditions, if at all, but hopefully, the information is good at least for comparison of different models, etc. I am curious...

    Which heater?

    My boat has a butane stove burner but no heater. If it were the other way around - no big deal. I can eat cold sandwiches in a warm cabin, but shivering while eating a warm bowl of stew, not so much! I see boats with Wallas, Webasco, Espar, etc. but no Sig Marine Cozy Cabins. A friend who...

    Reputable Service

    Master Marine in Mt. Vernon, WA is the closest marine full service center to me. Have any of you C-Brats in NW WA had experience with them? I tried a search on the forum, but didn't learn anything. Could be my search ability. If so, I apologize in advance. They do service Suzuki outboards...

    Decisions, decisions...

    I am trying to determine the pros and cons of a Garmin GPSMAP7610xsv vs the 1040xs. I see the resolution is better with the 7610, it has two ports where the 1040 has 1, and it is video input/output capable while the 1040 is not. The price is $600 different. Any opinions regarding one over the...

    Choosing the right kicker

    Considering Suzuki's only, and assuming for the sake of argument that price is not a factor, which would be a better kicker for a 22': A 9.9 HP - DF9.9B EFI A 15 HP - DF15A EFI A 20 HP - DF20A EFI They each weigh in at 108 lbs.

    Weight Difference between Honda and Yamaha Outboards

    Can anyone explain the huge weight disparity between the Honda 115 HP at 478 lbs. and the Yamaha 115 HP at 377? Over 100 lbs. and over 26% more for the Honda? WHY?

    Seaworthiness - Marinaut vs C-Dory

    I posted the same in my intro thread; this may be a better place for it. I have compared the Marinaut and C-Dory (about as well as I can without being on either!) but can't find information on the seaworthiness. Speed, fuel consumption, comfort, space, etc. seem to be close to the same...

    Introduction and Plea for Assistance

    Hello, I live in Oak Harbor and am looking to purchase a boat in the 19' to 24' range. I am leaning toward a C-Dory 22'. I haven't been into boating since the late '80s when we sailed a 30' Pearson in the Great Lakes. I have found a CHawk 22' for sale and am tempted, but can't get the...
