how long have you owned your current boat?

B~C

Just a wondering, who has been driving their C-D the longest...I'll wager Catman who is probably closing in on 20 years.

We have five years on ours and get the urge to trade, on occasion, but always take a quick nap and the urge passes

Great idea, Ken - I turned your post into a poll.

well, that would help to make it a memorable day Smile

It was Jan 02 for us, I'd been plying M with El & Bill pics for months before we went to the Portland Boat show. A little gentle salesmanship followed by a trip to look at consignment boat at Sportcraft and we was a trailering home a new memory machine.

Cool tool, the poll

Bill, for those of us that have owned more than one C-Dory are we screwed Cry

on this poll for years of owning a C-Dory versus just the current one? Which C-Dory are you going to choose?... "DaNag" or "PeeWee"? Poor Byrdman is on his third C-Dory. (Yeah, I know.....complain, complain, complain.... Laughing

)

Pat and I have each had two. First the 22 and then the 25. Of course now he also has a 16. And I am looking for a 16. We'll have to wait on the 28 and see.

I bought my "87 CD-22 Cruiser in April of '98, but had been lusting after such a sweet comfort-giving water woman in my heart ever since the early "90's. Joe.

Well I hate to take the crown (for now) on longest CD owner.....I purchased HIGH TIDE Aug. 1983 and still own and use it. Purchased at the factory from Mark Toland.

Now what is this about a diesel powered 28' CD.......???

The curiosity lies in how long a person has hung on to the same old boat. I've always had a certain kind of awe and respect for folks that hang on to rigs, cuz, I always got that trading itch. Fer example, I had a friend way back in High School that saved up his money and bought a 72 Chev 4x4 truck that was a few years old. He still has the truck and it still looks like new, it amazes me.

Jack- amazing, that is one nice looking boat, do you tow it with a 72 chev? Smile

First saw our '00 CD16 Angler on 2Nov06 here in the Twin Ports, started wheelin'/dealin', and finally took ownership day after Thanksgiving, 24Nov06. Something nice to be thankful for . . . . like Joe, had been lusting for a C-Dory for 8-9 years b4 I finally was able to get the money from Treasury Dept (Gin). Oh ya, like Ken of B~C I'll always yearn for another C-Dory, a 22, 25, TC255, or C-Ranger 25 - but I'm afraid that'll be my next life!! Heck, I haven't even had Foxy Lady (new name for our CD16) in the water yet.
