    where to start with finding a new trailer for a 22?

    I'm looking for general advice about where to start my search for a new 22 trailer and also advice on getting rid of my old trailer. We've been using a rusty old trailer that came with a cruiser 22 purchased in 2020. The trailer was a custom job and had sat in a yard in FL for 20 years. It has...

    Davit to hoist a big, fat dog.

    My wife and I are planning on living aboard our '22 this summer is Door Co. Wisconsin. Unfortunately, our dog is getting up there in years and has some trouble transitioning from the dock to the boat and even, sometimes from the cockpit floor up onto the bench from where she steps onto the...

    J Cradles for Kayaks on 22' cabin-top rail

    I have a 2000 cruiser 22. Does anybody have recommendations for J-Cradles that work with the rails on top of the cabin? Most of the ones I see for cars are made to attach to the cross brace. Wondering if there are any with the clamps turned 90⁰ for longitudinal rail installation?

    Big 'ole cooler to double as bench seat?

    Has anyone used a great big cooler to double as a bench seat in the cockpit? I was going to rebuild my rotting bench, but if I can find a cooler big enough and beefy enough, I might just throw some cushions on top and call it good. Has anyone had one that was a particularly good fit up against...

    22' Cruiser Transom bench with the backrest for child safety

    Hello all, My wife and I just welcomed our baby daughter last month. She will be crawling and climbing in no time! At the end of this season we pulled out our old transom bench which was severely rotten. So, depending on the strictness of you definition, that was good timing. We are going...

    Best Bow Fender for 22'

    Hey all, we just moved to a new marina this year and the pier is concrete. A habit I've picked up from my day-job aboard aluminum workboats is to clutch in while nosed up to the pier/barge/whatever to give me more control, especially when single-handing. This doesn't work so good with my 22'...

    Smallest kicker possible (practically speaking) for 22'?

    We have a 22' w/ a brand new (2020) Honda 100 and it works just dandy. However, we may have a new addition to the family soon and the wife would like a kicker just to be safe. If we're going to buy a kicker, I figure it might as well pull double duty and power a dingy (not yet purchased) so...

    Best Dinghy for a 22' (for a big clumsy dog)

    We're looking for a cabin-top, 2 person-deployable dinghy option that would be good for a big (80lb) dog that has a bad track record with kayaks, sups, & other tippy watercraft Are there any inflatables that are somwhat resistant to scrambling, panicky dog claws? Has anyone in C-Brats land...

    Where the heck is all this moisture coming from!?

    So I am currently living aboard (part time) on my 2000 22' Cruiser. I either have a leak, or I am greatly underestimating the amount of moisture that can build up on interior walls on humid/rainy days. I have a welcome mat just inside the cabin door and on rainy or even misty days, I will come...

    Always have a bit of water in the cockpit!

    We have a 2000 22' cruiser and when we bought last year It had a sort of "snap" together false floor in the cockpit that I just removed for fall cleaning and since it has been out (about 3 weeks now) I have noticed that there is about 0.25 "- 0.5" standing water towards for front+ center of the...

    Shower for C-22

    What are some ways people have contrived showers, both hot and cold, aboard 22's? We dive in cold, fresh water and would like a nice way to warm up either from the reservoir or from outboard. I'd be interested to know what others have tried. It's just about the only thing missing from my 22...

    No Fuel Senders / Alt ways to check fuel level??

    So, I just got the below reply from my marina guys after I grumpily emailed them that my fuel gauge didn't work after a re-power. I'm no stranger to logging hours and checking tanks visually, but my 2000 Cruiser 22 has pretty hard-to-access tanks, especially when you account for the bench...

    Best prop for efficiency?

    Looking to maximize fuel efficiency. I'm a bit out of my depth here RE props, but the facts that I know are as follows: Boat: 2000 Cruiser 22 OB: 2021 Honda 100 hp Water: Fresh, cold Alt: 600' > sea level, so basically SL Trim tabs: (not sure if relevant) but yes Desired outcome: fuel...

    Yakima / Thule for cabin roof

    Howdy. I’ve seen some pictures on C-brats and elsewhere on the internet of roof boxes on c-dorys. I’ve got a 2000 22’ Cruiser and I’m curious how others have gone about tackling that project. Is there an “out-of-the” box solution? Obviously, I’d prefer to keep it on the rails and minimize or...

    Looking for detailed prints of Cruiser 22

    I thought about placing this in the "Documents" forum, but it looks like more of a place to go once you actually have the docs. Anyway, I am looking for blueprints or line drawings, of the the Cruiser 22. I emailed NMI but they said they only got the molds and are still in the process of...

    We did it!

    Purchased the 2000 Cruiser 22 currently named Island Jewel but digging through this mountain of inherited receipts, poloroids, and paperwork it looks like she has also been called Lilian Marie. I've omitted names for privacy, but if you ever owned this boat don't hesitate to reach out! We...
