I suspect a boat registered to another person, and the boat being nearly dead 60 years old for denying hull insurance. The liability--may also be on the same premises. I would suggest Boat US, Chubb, Charter Lakes, & State Farm as alternative insurances. I get my insurance through a insurance...

Please see my album for what we did with our Tom Cat. Most folks do not go to that extreme. I would at least build up the area around the cutout so it will be level, and not distort the cabin top when the AC sits on it. I do not know about your 23, but some Cdorys have a core in the center...

I looked at Wavve vs Aquq Maps and Navionics which I do use. I would not use Wavve. No maps in some areas like Lake Powell, not as detailed as either as above. I see some mistakes in our local waters. No Active Captain. For simpler and graphic/with Active Captain (dated) Aquamap...

My 5 mpg was at displacement speed. About half of that when on a plane. Overall for the trip: about1200 miles and average was about 3.5 mpg.

This iconic photo is emblazoned on my mind whenever I go thru a bar or pass. The boat is the 84' motor vessel Mojo, under charter to George C Scott. The date was January 28, 1978. There was an off shore winter storm. He "had to get to "Pebble Beach" to play in the "Bing Cosby open Golf...

Just curious as to what bottom paint you are using, now that the boat is in a slip? It certainly is more convenient. Just don't do a George C Scott, exit from the Morro Bay entrance!

We spent a week in that area, but we did not have our C Dory. The art shop owner near the waterfront is a C Dory owner and will have all of the info on boating there. There was heavy fog, and rain in late August, early Sept. to the extent that the Tour boat went out, and turned back giving a...

If you use cocks you will have to make a decision, if you are best served for lines going forward as in anchor or mooring bridles. Then different design chocks for bow lines and even different for spring lines, unless using the amid ships cleats as we do. Most of my boats in the last few years...

In normal circumstances one does not worry about chafing in most situations. It is when the line is in high tension, and the boat is working back and forth. The line begins to heat, and eventually fails. These are more likely during a hurricane or heavy storm. The C Dory is a very light...

Photos always help. I am intrigued how you have an enclosed head with holding tank in a C Dory 22. You must have given up the dinette. I know of one 22 where much of the port side was given to a "enclosed head".

I wonder how much chafe with a sharp angle around one of the sides of each chock. I have always used a bow cleat vs window cleats for a foreward line. From the forward mid ships cleat, this leaves another rope on deck to trip or roll an ankle over. That is why I use the 1/4 round SS rubbing...

There are all sorts of moorings. Some just a ring on the top of the float, some have a pickup, and you take that aboard, some have a "sand line" which goes to an aft cleat. Usually a nice 3 strand line from the forward cleat going off the bow on one side and back on the other is OK. It is...

Nicely done, and very well documented. Thank you!

You should be looking for SS rub strakes (they are quarter round, not half round.) Get 315 SS. There are many on Amazon. Not chrome plated. The chrome will wear plated brass will wear. IF you had a classic mahogany runabout, then I might consider chrome plated deck hardware to be period...

Also remember alcohol is lighter than water, and will "float". This is important if you have a fire--do not put water on it. Fire blanket, Halon type or dry powder (last choice) for suppression. I have seen several boats burn because the owner threw water on an alcohol fire, and the fire then...

Finding a 19 of that vintage is probably going to be difficult. I would broaden my search for any 19 (or 18 if one of those rare birds came up). You can always upgrade power to 90--although most will be a 90 hp. The only difference between a 22 angler and the 19 is not a lot. All of the...

We observed that the end of Sept gas docks were being shut down, although we were able to obtain fuel, some marinas had run out of gas and were not refilling their storage tank. Only one place did we have to back track a few miles to get fuel.

The photographs show an exquisitely built out and maintained boat. It looks like new, and is probably one of the best outfitted 16' C Dorys I have seen. The seller apparently had some minor details with Craigs lists "rules", and tells me in a PM that it will be posted again. I think anyone...

Contact either TyBoo or DaNag, these are the administrators, and have the power to give you an album. They are the second and third people on the "member list" in the header.

What a well scripted ad for a C Dory! This seems like one of the best equipped 16's I have seen. The Craigs List: . so no photos. Apparently you have accidentally violated the CL terms of use. I have never seen this before, and I am sure is not intentional. You do not seem to have a...
