The c-dory classics often had wood runners on the bottom of the boat that glued and screwed in. These are a definite vulnerability if your boat takes even a minor chop when at a low tide. On my former classic, we ended up removing, epoxying, and refairing the hull bottom at a cost of over $2500...

Ah the dreaded fuel delivery problem on carb’d Hondas. , I believe your fuel pumps need replacing. Best way to test it: If a partner pumps the bulb does the engine start running like a champ? Above a certain RPM does the engine keep in chuff? Is it primarily when accelerating from 2k RPM to...

I actually really liked the dynamics of the hull with the permatrim (and a Honda BF90.) Trim down: power through manky waves. Spirit animal: warthog Trim 3/4: good balance for most conditions. Spirit animal: Golden retriever Trim 1/2: dancing on air, must be glassy. Spirit animal...

Had an 84 classic and replaced with a 1995 cruiser. It’s a very different ride. Much more stable, particularly at 18-22 kts and anytime there’s chop. The one thing that made a huge difference on my classic was a permatrim foil on the engine. It allows you to get the bow, and therefore the part...

I spoke to the owner: boat had some damage from storm which is why the window needs replacing. Only other damage some scratches. Hull intact Does not know engine hours, they are carb’d not EFI. Think it’s been parked and forgotten a bit.

Second the positive view. They did an exceptional job restoring my old angler. They went above and beyond and did so at a reasonable price.

Hi there, I just had an excellent experience transporting a cruiser from FL to WA. Cost is about $2500-3000. They put the boat and a trailer on a trailer to avoid wear and take advantage of their much more robust three axle trailer. http://www.snowmantransport.com/home.html

Jesse from Whidbey is the happy new owner!

Ethanol can be a big problem for marine engines: http://www.alloutdoor.com/2013/06/25/fishermen-beware-ethanol-fuel-deadly-outboard-motors/ And buying premium fuel won't help the problem, as it still contains ethanol, it just also contains higher octane gas and additives to help clean...

I would suggest a carb tune as one of the last steps in diagnosing an issue with the BF90A. There can be lots of reasons for stalling issues with this engine. The first and most common are fuel delivery issues. The last would be carb issues, and fixing those can be expensive as there are four...

I purchased my c dory from Rene down in Monterey who has listed this one. He kept one c dory in Monterey and one in Lake Tahoe. This was the one he kept in Monterey Mine has proven to be in good overall shape although it did need new fuel pumps on the Honda, and the bolts were over tightened...
