Well, it's official, Kim Christine is now a 25 Cruiser!

After much discussion, the Admiral and I decided to pull the trigger on a gray and white, low hour 2006 25 C-Dory. She has the Honda 150 V Tec with a 9.9 Honda kicker. She is outfitted with all of the standard options with one of the most important, that's right, stand up head and shower!

Right now, she is being cleaned up and will be soon personalized. She needs the name on the side and christening will be done at Friday Harbor in May. A camper back is also in the works for the fall.

Selling our 22 is bittersweet, she has been a wonderful boat and will make someone else really happy, too.
See our listing for details on a great 22 Cruiser.

Is this the last boat, really?

Very exciting! When you two visited a short time ago, we could tell a 25 was in your future... you made it happen quickly! Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Enjoy the new boat, and the extra room. We'll look forward to seeing you (and the boat) next time our paths cross.

Congrats!

Best wishes,
Jim & Joan

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
I guess you can never say, "This will be the last of anything."
This will definitely open up more possibilities for extended cruising and fishing, too.

We're really excited to go out for the maiden voyage. Probably an overnight soon locally and a weekend coming up.

Congratulations....seems like only yesterday you visited our place to view Sea Shift to help decide if a 22' C-Dory was in your future.

Thanks! Went out crabbing yesterday, did well up past Langley on the high tide in the afternoon. One thing I have to watch is the tide at the ramp because I have a bunk trailer now. No more recovering the boat when the trailer is flat in the water with no angle. The good news is that with the increase in interior space, I can kick back and wait for the water to come back in comfort.

Oh wow, That's fantastic! You were talking about a 25 in May so when your message came through that you had a surprise.....I wasn't surprised at all. We are planning a trip out in Late September. Hope there's some crabbing we can do and shrimping! Save up a vacation day or two for us and well do some cruising!

I saw the new Kim Christine at Westport last weekend. Report is that her decks have already been bloodied. Of course, Patrick is a damn fine fisherman and could probably catch salmon in a bathtub. Smile

Montana: Crabbing is still open in the San Juans through Sept 30. Don't know about that vacation, since school year is starting and it's a little dicey to vacation. A weekend, definitely.

C Dawg: Thanks for the compliment! That only works when the fish are willing and they sure were. Glad to hear you guys did really good, too. I return the compliment to you.

Congratulations Patrick & Kim! on the new boat. Although I haven't officially met you or Kim, we did pass while we were going in and you were hauling out in Anacortes awhile back during crab season opening. I considered a 25 but settled on the 22 and with all the work (& expense) I have put into it, I doubt the skipper would sit still for a 25 this soon..But if the right deal came along I can't say it would be totally out of the question..I am anxious to try out my new fish box though and get it bloody too,,(I hope.) Good luck with the new rig..

salmon fisher thanks for the thought, was able to do a tear down on it Monday after work it was a total loss. So new one on order and got an email it shipped today from the east coast. Should be back on the water and harassing Coho in a week or two. congrats again on the upgrade a 25' sure is tempting

Sea-C good work on the winch I like it and the fish box. Wonder how many salmon you can fit into there....
