Hello-
I've been a fan of the c-dory for years and have been looking for the time to buy, and now is the time. My son is ten and I am 50, the c-dory promises a lot of adventure. I plan on having this boat in my slip by this spring. The goal is traveling the Mississippi, possibly the canal up to Chicago, Lake Michigan, trailer in up to Minnesota. I believe the 22 cruiser is right for me. The first question I have is; what do I need to know about saltwater Dorys? I have only owned freshwater boats and motors, should I limit my search to freshwater boats only, or can there be crossover. |

There can be a cross over. Just make sure the previous owner has done the maintenance. Scroll down and on the righthand side of the screen there is a list of C-Brats' C-Dories for sell or go up to forums and scroll to the bottom for a little better breakdown. There are several listed as freshwater only boats. But don't let that stop you from checking out others. Good luck and be safe out there. |

Thank you. I really like the bimini top, and the camper back accessories. Shade would be imperitive. I'm often attracted to the Dorys from the early 90s. |
