Hey all!!
I’ve been stalking this site for a few years and have finally saved up enough $$$ to go on the hunt for a 22.
If anyone is in or around Sonoma County ( California ) and has a C Dory that would be interested in showing me their boat and sharing some items to look for particular to C Dory’s before I search I would appreciate it. I will also go to the Brat map and e-mail Brats close to me.
If you are looking to take it out on the water I would pay for expenses and buy lunch and if your going fishing even better Very Happy
My user name is German for Devil Dog and I was in the USMC from 94 to 2001 my MOS was a longshoreman and I was also a PMI (marksmanship instructor) I’m a divorced dad with two boys 16yrs and 12yrs old.
I plan on getting a surveyor for any potential boat I’m interested in and have learned quite a bit from you salty dogs ! Thank you.

Welcome aboard. Not sure if you have the time, but going to a c Brat gathering would be very worth while--seeing all of the various boats. Unfortunately the only one I know of during the remainder of this year, is in Illinois. There are some C Brats not too far from where you live. Bodega Bay, or S.F. Bay/ Delta area--There are a number of C Dory owners.

Good hunting.

Thanks for the welcome Thumbs Up
I have seen in the past that there has been gatherings in the SF bay and Delta so I’ll keep my eyes open in the gathering section.

When looking at and researching make sure you check the hull soundness for rot between the glass around any holes poked in the glass. My last repair was $20k.

Thanks Jack I appreciate the feedback! I’m assuming it will sound “hollow” or different from the rest of the hull? When ever I find a boat I’m interested in I plan on having it surveyed just to be safe.
Cheers 🍻
