We purchased our 1st C-Dory in 1983. I had seen one the season before and we very impressed. We purchased it at the factory in Kent, Wash, drove down to the factory and towed to back to Alaska. Many positive comments were heard on that trip. My son purchased it from me in 2009 and he runs it in Prince William Sound.
I purchased my present CD in W. Palm Beach, Fla on Ebay. Had it towed to Wennatchee, Wash. where we picked it up and towed it to Alaska. I get many comments on this boat but not as many as the previous one.
I wish that we could participate in the gatherings that occur in the lower 48 and southern Canada. We are just too far away (2500 miles) to Seattle area. _________________ On the HIGH TIDE-II, wife Carolyn and I.....Another summer fishing on the HIGH TIDE II in the Cook Inlet at Cape Ninilchik, Alaska.

We've had our share of "cute boat" comments. But, if you really want to hear some great guesses and see some gawking from folks, tow an enclosed Glider Trailer! Enough for a new thread. _________________ Roger

My friend, an Alaska Marine Highway ferry captain, said,"It looks like it was whittled out of a block of wood."
After he said that, I took another look. He has a good point. And I couldn't feel safer or more comfortable on my block of wood. |

After several of us BRATS spent some time struggling to get a 40 something and three story high, onto a dock in Powell River, (Off dock wind and current running) and later the skipper came over to us and said thanks and shook hands, and we realized that we had both been at Alert Bay last summer taking shelter from a 30+ wind that blew for 4 days and nights, he later came bay and told me that
"just because we had little boats didn't mean we didn't know what we were doing."
I took that not only as a compliment but as admission that he was less than as capable as he should have been.

When I pulled out at Comox, there was a boat in front of me on the finger pier. As I walked by it to get my trailer, a life preserver on board said "nice boat." Spooked me until I saw that there was a little kid inside. My boat does look like what a kid would draw with a crayon.

From an open bay door of an auto shop as we drove by:
"hoooo YAAAAA" with thumbs up. |

When we pulled into Twin Bridges at the end of our 6 day Nootka Sound fishing trip yesterday, a nice gentleman commented, "That's a handsome boat". _________________ Peter & Caryn

Hey, I, too, get a lot of "cute boat" comments, but my favorite was, "Looks like Popeye's boat". |

There are so few of these boats on the Gulf of Mexico coast that I get " Nice Boat" all the time. The most odd was when a guy in a Corvette pulled up to the side of my 70 mph truck on I10, signaled to roll down my window, and asked where he could get a boat like that. (I gave them Mark's number.) _________________ I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR - That's what makes the search so exciting! |

"I absolutely love that boat" from a motor home driver at a rest stop.
"THAT is SUCH a cute boat" from a busty lady on a passing 20 something cruiser while tied up at the fuel dock. First I've heard the "cute" comment.
"Is your boat for sale?" from a 20 something center console Whaler at the marina ramp. Said he should of bought one of these instead.
A robust thumbs up from a passing Gold Wing on the highway home.
Surprising to me, this boat gets about as many comments as my 54 year old British Seagull. |

Another time in Florida, a state patrol car did a "U" turn behind me and followed me into a gas station. OH CRAP!....
"I love it. Can I go aboard? " ooh, aah! Nice guy. The boat do turn some heads. |

I was bringing my new to me 22 angler down from Calgary Canada. we went through the border in Eastport Idaho. they detained me there for about two hours through a shift change. I believe this was so that they could all see this new to them boat. there were people coming out of the woodwork to look her over. There were lots of, cool boat, so cute, great fishing machine, how does it do in rough seas, etc. etc. after two hours and about 25 people they said here ya go, have a nice day. they said that they had never seen a C-Dory before. _________________ Roger on the "SENSEI"
