Bess-C

This little boat has been sold. Lyle

Back in March I asked about pricing for my little C-Dory, and said it would be for sale in April. Well, time flies and I'm just getting it posted for sale. She's in the shed at Skyline Marina, where she's been stored since I bought her. Always sling launched and only brought out of the shed...

Thank you all for giving me a price range that you think might be reasonable for this little boat. It's stored about 4 hours away from me in the shed at Skyline Marina in Anacortes. I need to get over there, take the cover off and look the boat over. I don't think it needs much more than a...

Chrome your instincts are right on. For a few years we used our bigger boat as a base camp tied to the floating dock in Bowman Bay and went around the corner to fish the Deception Pass hole with the 14. Good to hear from you too Catman. Yes, everybody notices and comments on this little boat...

I forgot to add that you can see pictures of this boat in the Bess-C photo album, page 2.

Thanks Tom, Yes, the little boat is almost perfect. Someone stole the Honda motor off of it in 2013, so I replaced it with the 30 Tohatsu. They also did some fiberglass damage that I had professionally repaired. At rhat time I added swivel seats and Scotty downrigger mounts to make it easy...

I haven't been on this site for a while, but have been around since C-Brats was created. We bought one of the first second generation 25's from E.Q. Harbor Service 20 years ago this month. It was our first powerboat. We named her Bess-C and took her all over the Northwest and attended many...

If you're launching from Washington Park, I would suggest Hunter Bay. It's a pretty, completely protected anchorage with good holding. We moor our boat at Skyline Marina and it is our go to first stop when we're late getting away from the dock. Head south across Rosario, go thru Lopez Pass...

We came across Georgia Strait from Nanaimo yesterday. It said it was going to be 5-15 early, with winds rising in the afternoon. We left at 6:00 am really got pounded for a couple of hours (we're slow). The wind wasn't that bad, not sure why it was so rough. I don't ever seem to be able to...

Hi Ron, We landed in Powell River today. Rafted up right by the south entrance. Not sure yet if we're staying until the weekend. If you get down to the dock, we'd like to say hi. Lyle

Brock, Congratulations on your new 23, it's beautiful. I look forward to seeing you on the water. Lyle

Hi Ron, We're heading north towards the Broughtons around the 8th of July. You may remember us from when we had Bess-C our 25. We'll be on our 46 West Coast, and might stop by the gathering if we're taking our time and moving slowly. We miss the C-Brat group. Would Powell River or Lund be...

John, I have a 14 C-Dory. They are rare and cute, but IMHO are too small to work as a good bay boat. You can fish 2 people out of a 14, but even that is tight. If you want a bay boat, I'd wait for a 16. Lyle

Thanks for the comments and history. It seems like C-Dory made a lot of different variations in the 80'same and 90's. John, the guy that I bought it from is a Boston Whaler fanatic. That may explain the wooden console and seat. When I look at old Whalers, they had similar wooden seats and...
