So I have a bunch of rookie questions that don’t seem to be answered well with the manual. Any chance someone who has owned a 25 cruiser about the 2007 vintage can walk me through things on FaceTime/Skype/or google hangout?

Unfortunetly the dealer I bought it from was less then useful and although not new to boats this C-Dory rookie is a bit perplexed after hours of reading the forum and googling parts!

Brilliant idea. I would do it, but I only have a 19 footer

I only owned my 2007 25' for one year so I'm a rookie too but I'd still be willing to help in any way I can.

kaelc,
Be happy to share any knowledge I may have gained in owning Meander for almost 13 years. Much of what I've learned came from the members of this site. I'll send you a pm with my phone number if you want to call.
Cheers
Ron

'Don't know if there is a way to group facebook or Skype, but I would be happy to join in. Mine was a 2003, but I have spent time on 2006 and 2007's, plus my son's 1995....

Aside from being a 2007 25, tell us a little about the boat. Twins, singles, camperback, electronics, accessories,etc?

Your idea of face time or skype are good. Hope you can get that set up. BTW, Ron and Anne from Meander are great folks and well experienced. he is a good resource.

Best in your new adventure.

Thanks Guys, I really appreciate. After a growler of beer, two pizzas and a lot of elbow grease and a rubber mallet we have figured most things out, wow these boats a have a lot of neat features. I hope I have things sorted to be able to take the family out this weekend but I'll be calling with questions soon.

I just saw a new note on Face(Plant)book, that they are coming out with a new version that will allow meetings of up to ~25 people. Could make for a whole new type of CBGT.

How is your 25 working out? Yes lots of new systems to deal with, and a bigger, heavier boat, but more of lots of stuff, like space, storage and weight.
