My CD22 And honda 90 on average get 4 gallons gasoline per hour. I like that just fine, considering that when we go cruisin we really car a lot of weight 2 aduls and gear, a 160 pound puppy, Gear, Food for every one....all that adds up. I am really pleased with 4 gallons an hour. Some day I will...

Might sound funny, our CD22 felt like you described. I put a little weight in the bow. The anchor is now all chain...200+ plus feeet, but our CD planes nicely at 10mph. The weight of the windlass and the chain seems off set the weight if that very nice honda 90. I know adding weight is counter...

That thing still collecting dust? If so, I could use the table leg...broke the locking mechanism on mine..can you help,or maybe tell me where to get a replacement?

Spotted LULU II entering Norwalk Harbor this last hgoliday weekend We were heading out the main channel and CD22(or 25) we holiday in....happy loooking crew we saw ans saw the boat later that day at public docks...Norwalk is a nice town in the summer good boating communoty. Anyway we spotted...

I keep our CD22 in a rack,and we love the service we get. I do miss being able to just go to the dock and hang out on the boat, but that is a small trade for saftey and convienience. I guess its all where you are..The 22 is one of the smaller boats in the rack...did I mention that it is about...

Val (The Admiral) was the Belle of Belmont Park Yesterday. She made a two race-25$ win parlay with "Mia Poppy in the 5th race and "Union Rages" in the feature. Both crossed the finish line first and her ticket returned over 600$, the rest of the crew was green with envy, but I am very proud and...

Damn Dissapointing, but we are still on for a great afternoon at Belmont Park,,we are very exited.

It takes a helluva offter to Val and I to give up a day on th boat, BUT,,this Saturday "Ill Have Another" will be trying to win the triple crown at Belmont Park.One way or another, an historic event will be witnessed in person by Val and Myself and About 120,000 of our closest friends. There has...

Ha! One never knows what will be dredged out of the Coinnecticut River. Congrats upon your leaving Lurkland!. I feel the same way about our CD. Its the boat I have always wanted but could not quite get, and have always compromised one thing or another. I beleive that my seemingly never ending...

Details? well, I didnt hook up the shore power, but will next time..we watched 90% of a good movie (The Pope of Greenwich Village) when the laptop battery went dead. Did not use the two burner alky stove..we did coffee annd eggs with our coleman propane camp stove, and for dinners, Seaboard...

180 miles round trip, a great time a happy crew and 33 gallons of gas.( our outrider, Bill; in his 21 Steigercraft cooked 71 gallons.of course he beat us by an hour both ways, but hey)..not a bad first cruise! Still have a lot to learn about all my fancy new systems, but we made great progress...

saw this nicely kept black on white CD22 cruiser on a work buk at Seaboard marina, on the Ct River this weekend. Didnt get to meet the owner, but we had a great time on the river..

With a holiday weekend looming the Admiral has decided that its time to start the cruising season, so heads up: There will be brats (two of us, anyway) on the Connecticut River both Friday and Saturday nights. Seems like the The Brats are under-represented here on the LIS, so would be happy to...

This is our 1st season with a CD22 cruiser, and we love it. It came with a danforth, an anchor roller, hawspide and chain locker, along with 125' of 1/4 inch galvi chain. We have been out at anchor three time. The fist time i said " wow, this is a little more work than I am used to". The second...

My Daddy said long ago that the best maintenance regimen for an outboard is to use it every day! keep that water pump working! We boat in salt water only. My issue is this; I store in a rack. The guys launch me on demand, and at the end of the day i tie up at a service dock, and indicate on a...
