GinnaP, I can vouch for Steve, when I first moved to the area, I wanted to see a C-Dory up close. He and his wife were great hosts. We came to see a boat and then stayed for great conversation. I'm not a C-Dory owner, I decided to put off any boat buying decisions until I retire in a few...

I'm going to add a bit more, sort it out by typing it out: I've come to a few possible conclusions or realizations about choosing a boat for us. Regarding C-Dory, the 22, even used, is a bit more than I want to spend (why I haven't called Steve yet). My comfort zone is around 15-25K. Then...

Just checking in to say that I appreciate the continued discussion and information. I did try to search for information about the floor, which I'm sure is out there, but I came up short. Thanks again!

Art - I made it up there on Saturday, I too saw nothing that really interested me. Nice boats for sure, just nothing for me. ssobol - Thanks for the link. I laughed at the line at the bottom of the ad, "don't call and offer 15K....If you don't have 37K that's fine....get the Bayliner" Was...

Steve- I'll probably also be at the show tomorrow. Will have on plain black ball cap. Fish

Dick, thanks for checking into that and the information about Mobil East.

Stan/Dot/Marty: I appreciate the input regarding the 16. We're not really into overnighting at this stage. We launch, explore, then return to home base normally. I can appreciate the fuel consumption and the maintenance aspects of a smaller boat. Given that we never know where we're going...

Every military installation I've ever lived on has had an on-post area for people to store their boats. Not so on Ft. Eustis I found out yesterday. Another consideration for me to weigh. Art - Thanks for the offer, very kind. A 25' might be a bit much boat for us, but with extra feet comes...

Thanks Bill. I wonder if that was advertised online. I couldn't find it.

Thanks to you as well Bill, I'm from Mentor! Sometimes I come back to that area to visit family etc.

Well that was fast, thanks thataway and thanks Steve. I did a Google site search of c-brats for former sailors who own a C-Dory and read a lot of helpful posts. Steve, I'm out of town until this weekend at least, but in the coming weeks, I'd certainly like to contact you so my family and I can...

Hello C-Brats, The bottom line up front is that we'd like to put eyes on a 16 and 22 Cruiser somewhere reasonably close to the Newport News area, if anyone is willing to share with us. I have been looking at powered boats at my own pace for several years now. I used to sail, but when the wind...
