I searched through the forum but could find very little about the Lake of the Ozarks as being a possible future cruising destination. Do any CBrats have any experience boating in the area? In looking at the map, and a few videos, it looks like it might be a very interesting place to visit in...

From BoatTEST.com. Looks like a nice boat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQoliJdBm9Y

Earlier this week C-Sharp went to its new owner and I know he will enjoy her as much as I did. Contradictory to that old worn out adage about the day you buy and sell a boat, it was very sad for me to see her drive off. But the good news is that Jim the new owner lives just the next island over...

Is it typical for a marine survey to establish an estimated market value? As a former commercial real estate appraiser I was shocked to see that the surveyor who inspected C-Sharp on behalf the a prospective buyer gave an estimated market value, not by actual comparables but by using pricing...

6'x6' mesh sunshade purchased on Amazon supported by the radar arch and two boat poles in the rod holders. Offers decent shade and stows well.

Has anyone have any experience installing a drawer-type refrigerator like the Engel SB30G in their C-Dory? https://images.app.goo.gl/JbBwbVaVuMKD24o47 It's only 30 liters of space, but I think I can mount it low on the forward dinette seat (non-sliding) and still be able to preserve some...

I’m getting tired of the old adage; “the happiest day of a boat owner’s life is the day they buy the boat and the day they sell it.” Over this past late spring, summer, and early fall, Joanie and I have enjoyed “C Sharp” - our 2006 C-Dory 22 Cruiser immensely. Buying it was enjoyable, although...

I'm seriously considering re-powering my 22 Cruiser with a new Suzuki DF90A outboard. I currently have a 2006 Honda BF90 which has a carburetor, not fuel injected. I'm expecting a new fuel injected outboard to be somewhat quieter, and hopefully a bit better fuel economy. The reason the Suzuki...

Or maybe two... Searched the archives but can't seem to find the answers. #1 On newer outboards is there an inter-relay that would prevent starting if the engine was left up and out of the water? On of my biggest fears is that I will forget to put the engine back down prior to starting, and...

I had to take my boat over to the West Sound Marina on the other side of Orcas Island from where I moor. Should have known it was going to be one of those days as on the way out I had a really close call with a deer jumping out in the road in front of my truck forcing me to slam on the brakes at...

C Sharp came to me with 150' of 1/4" chain rode, no rope. It has a Lewmar windlass, and the boat was previously used in the Chesapeake Bay where I assume it may have worked well there perhaps with a silty and muddy bottom? However C Sharp is now in the PNW and I am wondering if that much...

Been communicating with the little licensing office In Friday Harbor about getting my 2006 Cruiser 22 registered in WA. I bought it earlier this year and registered it in AZ my primary residence, but since moved it up to my summer home on Orcas Island. I was significantly shocked that they...

I want to mount a Garelick style motor mount for a 6 hp kicker on my 22. I know it is highly suggested to enlarge the holes, fill with epoxy, and re-drill. Despite my extensive searching through the archives, I haven't found the specific technique on how to accomplish this task. From what I have...

Hi, I'm seriously looking at a 22 Cruiser. Looks to be in good condition overall, but there are some cracks on the top of the starboard gunnel. Apparently the original owner ran a strap across the aft gunnels when trailering, rather than using the eyebolts on the stern. Attached is a photo. The...

Hi C Brats! I’ve been lurking for a while on this forum doing a lot of research and this is my first real post. My wife and I live half the year on Orcas Island and have been looking into getting a boat to explore all the surrounding area and beyond. I don’t have much recent experience, but...
