2005 22 Cruiser, $39,000 (Marysville, WA)

[starcrafttom]

For sale 2005 22 ft C-Dory. $39,000
The Susan E is for sale for the first time.
The Susan E was purchased by Susan and I in February of 2005 From E.Q. marine. When purchased from Les and Cathy (the best c-dory dealer ship in the world) she was fully out fitted with the following

1. Honda 90 + Nissan 9.9 kicker with tie bar connection to main. Mounted on kicker bracket. this kicker is electric and hand start with a alternator This allows you to pull start he kicker and charge dead batteries . This has saved us several times when we left a light on overnight. The main can also be pull started.

2. Twin Batteries (new batteries in 2010)

3. Three way battery switch

4. Raymarine C-80 navigation system with dm300 fish finder, Radar, Auto pilot and GPS. Also the North West map card.

5. Two Scotty electric downriggers on raised Swivel bases. ( just fully serviced by yours truly. Rigged with power pro line not wire) with wired in plugs under rail.

6. Full camper canvas enclosure.

7. Wallas stove heater. I have just had this in the shop and it is finally running. Both circuit boards have been replaced since new

8. Radar arch ( I have added 6 rod holders to the arch for better rod storage) Radar, vhf and gps antennas are all mounted on the arch.

9. 20 gallon water tank with foot pump at sink.

10. Center opening window.

11. Forward facing seat with storage under floor. This seat will face in either direction. I had a large drawer add under the seat
.
12. porta potty

13. Hydraulic steering with auto pilot. I have also added a wireless remote to the auto pilot.

14. swim step with latter
.
15 trim tabs with indicator at dash.

16. Twin bulge pumps.

And all the other stuff that a c-dory comes with. Since then we have added or up graded the following.

1. I have added a shelf in the kitchen cabinet and relocated the wallas fuel further back in the cabinet.

2. Added a vent for the fresh air inlet for the wallas (this should have been done at the factory but was not)

3. Over head mounting of the Garmin VHF (this is a new unit this year that will receive and broadcast gps DSC info. This allows you to see DSC info and positions of other boats right on the Raymarine C-80

4. Am/fm, CD, iPod, USB port capable radio with two speakers
.
5. Two window fans great for the fog.

6. We have fully carpeted and insulted the sleeping berth. One of the best things we have done. Stays a lot warmer.

7. I installed three huge storage hatches in the v-berth. Susan loves this upgrade. The factory removed the foam and installed three small hatches when they repaired a common leak in the bow strip, I up graded to three over size hatches. You can drop a full size duffle bag thru the hatch and fit two of them in each hatch. Lots of storage
.
8. A full floor. My boat is the only 2005 that has the raised molded fiberglass floor. I had it installed by lake union sea ray. I bought the floor from the factory and had it installed. This is a great improvement over the original floor and I see why the factory switched to this system on all the newer boats.

9 when the floor was done the fuel tanks were replaced with the bigger ones.

10. Fish Box. We had a custom fish box installed. Again I had the good folks at lake union sea ray install this for me. It is in the splash well. It will hold 40 crab or four twenty pound salmon, or a hell of a lot of shrimp. My favorite upgrade. Even if you do not fish it makes for a great place to get the fenders out of the way. Provides plenty of storage and an extra place to sit and visit. Also makes it easier to get in and out of the boat.

12. Upgraded rear hatch covers. As we all know the factory hatches leak. So I, like many others, replaced the hatches with better ones that don’t leak at all. Love them.

13. Lewmar windlass. This was a used unit that I rebuilt myself. It works. Because of the poor design of the early lewmar sprint windlass it will have to be replaced at sometime as they all should. I installed a sepratebreaker and control switch for the windlass at the dash.

14. Wireless remote spot light. I had a stainless steel plate welded to the bow rail and installed a spot light with the wires running thru the rail to the v-berth. Great for finding crab and mooring buoys at the end of the day. Anytime you stay out a little too late you will love this light. Check your position at night when the wind is blowing. Peace of mind
.
15. Custom made (by Susan) window coverings and privacy shades for the camper back. No more people looking in while you are sleeping or eating. This full encloses the aft deck for privacy.

16. Storage self under table. If fact there is storage everywhere.. I also moved the floor of the storage above the water tank under the back seat. This also increased the storage over stock.
.
17. The table is larger than stock. I made a new one when I replaced the poor table stays with a better design.

18. I raised the step and storage locker under the pilots feet. This allows my feet of sit flat on the surface and it allows or twice the storage space over stock.
There are three remotes. One for the spot light, one for the auto pilot and one for the radio

Sold today. new owner is picking up next week. The Susan E will be moving 120 yards north ( about 2 blocks) right here in marysville. The new owner is Steve Dore ( pronounced dory) who has owned a 16 before. I Hope to get him to come to some gathering in the future.

We will miss her. We owned her for 5 years. Longer then any other boat I have owned. longer then my first 10 cars, and 4 bikes. hell longer then the first 26 homes I have lived in. we put 1100 hours and a lot of mile on her and she never let us down (expect for the wallas) I have caught trout, black-mouth, halibut, lings, kings, silvers, pinks, sockeye, shrimp and crab on her. she has had orcas, greys, humpbacks, minkies, dolphins, sea-lions, harbor seals, river otter, and sea otters near and under her hull. She pulled two good people from the water. towed 5 other boats to port. She was used to introduce Jim and the blond, The Flanagan's, and others to the world of c-Dory's. Many an adventure's and many a quite relaxing day have been spent on her at anchor. We hope she is loved as much in the future as she was in the past.

The only good thing about this sell is we still have a cdory to call our own.

Congrats! And congratulations to Steve as well for coming back to C-dory land. With a name like Dore, it was inevitable, I suppose.
