    22 25' C-Dorys or 25 22' C-Dorys or 40 16', 19', 22', 25', and 29' C-Dorys. I think the plan is to have everyone tie up bow or stern first :lol: . As soon as the third boat rafts up - thats when the dockside one has to leave. :roll:

    RF-246 Sedan Cruiser vs CD-25 Cruiser

    I'm looking for a technical / nautical comparison of the two boats. If someone was looking at both of them - which boat would fit what type of cruising. What are the handling differences, etc. for similarly rigged boats? Thoughts ? Pros and Cons of each ? Tom

    A little press - thanks Wefings!

    And so I say once again ... "Time will tell whether the C-Ranger tug becomes as popular as the smaller C-Dory. The C-Ranger R-25 can cost as much as $150,000 fully loaded, while a 22-foot C-Dory can run around $30,000" Where can you get a new C-Dory for 30k? (other than the "typo" I do...

    E-TEC Experience

    With our E-Tec the add oil light came on at 36 hours, filled up the tank and have been watching to see how fast it burns the next tank. Always have a little soot on the engine each time we come back, not sure is that's normal. My only complaint is it seems a little louder than I thought it...

    Fresh Water Rinse

    Marty mentions using his earmuffs to flush, others mention hooking up with a hose to the connector on the engine - why do one or the other? If I have a connector on the engine that a hose end goes into - does that do as good of a job flushing as using the earmuffs? I've heard from some folks...

    V-Berth Bed Extension

    Great Idea - thats gotta be my next project. Where did you get the memory foam? Was the cushion insert then thicker to end up being the same level as the rest of the sleep area? Also - we really like the setup for your curtains. Tom

    Seating in the 19' C-Dory Angler

    There were several changes in the 19 Angler from 2006 to 2007, one of which was the seating arrangements. If you look on the C-Dory web site, if its still there, they have a photo of the 2006 seating arrangement. The problem with that arrangement is that there wasnt really enough room for the...

    New York Times Photo ??

    In the NYTimes this morning is a tragic story about a plane crash on Lake Michigan. The photo caption mentions a police boat and helicopter looking for wreckage. Is that a C-Dory off to the side in the photo ??? It would be nice to know that a C-Dory was heading out to see if they could help. Tom

    Shan and I took her mother out for her first time on a C-Dory. Beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon cruise over to Olga for late lunch. Had a great meal at the Olga Cafe. Not much of a crowd at the dock.
