Tyboo,

The report I received, the boat was a total loss. It had several holes in the hull and the engines were unsalvagable.

I have learned a lot following this thread and I do appreciate those that took the time to chime in such an important safety topic. I to would like to hear how the swamped boat thing turned out... Butch

Tom - Thanks for the update and the initial report.

RF - There you go, friend. A CD25 to rip the floor boards out of!

Joe - Retirement project?

Butch - It has indeed been a very useful discussion. It still amazes me that we can have so many discussions, some of them with vastly different points of view, and still get near the end of it with all civility maintained. Most of the forum sites I have seen are not able to accomplish that. It must be all them rules we have! It's good that Tom thought to post it in the Boating Safety forum, because it is a great spot for it and it would have gotten lost on the General board.

Thanks to all for the great discussion so far and for the stuff yet to come.

Tyboo-

Not a retirement project for me! I'm sticking with the more manageable and trailable 22, so RF can have at it!

Yup, some of those sites have some members who are downright insulting, have axes to grind, and are happy to deliver the tomahawk chop! Nice that we're all C-Dory civil 'round here!

Mike, I use my PC for work and as far as I know (remember that is...) have never played a game on it. C-Brats is the ONLY site that I subscribe to for pure leisure and boating in general.

I know I look forward to checking out what's new on the site, the pictures, and of course the discussion board. Thanks to you and all the other folks that make this possible.... Butch

A-Men.
this is without a doubt the most knowledgeable and most civilized boating board I have ever seen.
I don't understand why other boating web sites can't follow the lead and fine example set by the owners of C-Dorys who contribute to this site.
Valuable knowledge is shared and some of you guys manage to be great wits as well.
I am a very experienced boater but I still manage to learn a lot from all of you that contribute.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Larry,
Where are you at in the Florida Keys? (My brother-in-law has a place in Key Largo).

This thread has answered a question of mine I have had for the last 3 years... will a CD25 sink? Apparently not. At least not right away. I have always known there is flotation in the bow, however, when I purchased the Clara Mae in 2002, the factory had not tested a loaded 25 to see. Now we know.
