Over the last couple of months I have been trying to decide what boat will work out best for the wife and I. I would allready be on the water but I had just a couple of things to do first 1. Sell my PA house 2. Find and buy a suitable house in Florida 3. Close on both houses 4. Move entire...

I think a 19 footer would probably be the "perfect " boat for our needs but they're so damn unconventional I can't buy without a demo ride. My local dealer (Bulldog Boatwerks)will give me a test drive but it doesn't seem right since I'm looking at one of the used one listed here. . I'm in Cape...

I'll be a Florida resident Friday. Price sounds good but can't travel that far. Thanks for letting me know abour it!

Thats a great offer but we have to get to Florida fast. My Buddy took off from work to help us move and transport one of our cars and has to get back to work ASAP so we don't have time for "fun". Would love to take you up on it though!

Go to the police station and turn yourself in-You stole that boat ! Excellent price! I'm hoping to find a similar deal

Thats quite a savings for what is essentially a new boat. Unfortunately the trailer is painted steel and 99% of my boating will be in salt water but I guess i could get a year or two out of it. I spoke with the gentleman in Indianapolis a couple months ago and he sent pictures-The boat is very...

I'm moving to Florida on 3-23 and need a 19'C-Dory real bad. Being 10 minutes from the fishing capital of the world (matlatche)SP? and not having a boat is depressing. I'll be talking with my local dealer real soon but before I get sticker shock I'd like to get an idea of the "out the door"...

I'd say retire if you can afford it. We should all be able to retire at 50 and work hard at having fun. I retired at 56 on military and SS disability and i love it. Nothing but fishing and bumbing around all day. I'm not allowed to work and live on a tax free 42K a year. Life is uncertain-Life...

A lot of good ideas. Yup, without a doubt a raw water washdown is handy. The Wife & I & dog will probably overnight once and a while and since mine is(will be) a 19', at least we'll be able to shower and its a great to give the dog a bath.

I plan on installing a raw water washdown system on a 19' C-Dory and I'd like to get some opinions from those that have been there-done that. When installing the pick up is there any practical way to avoid drilling thru the hull, below the waterline? I won't be using it while underway so thats...

The 19' on e-bay is close enough for me to pick up when I move to Florida in approximately 2 months but in my opinion its underpowered. If it had a 90 hp, i would have seriously considered it

Will Do !

I just retired and am moving to Cape Coral Fl in about 3 months. I was set on a 19'CD but the 19 Arima looks very similar and I'd like to get some opinions. Quality wise, are they comparable? How about pricing-similar to a CD? Thanks in advance!

That looks like a great way to light up the cabin. Enough light to read a chart, cook a meal or even play cards. I like the fact that the entire cabin is illuminated evenly. I'll be getting my CD in about 2 months and rope lighting is going to be one of the first improvements -Thanks for the...

Applying those "pieces" of reflective material is a super idea! Definitely going to put em on my 19'
