Happened upon this article today. Similar but different ($$$): Title: "He bought the world’s oldest passenger ship — and spent $18 million turning it into a hotel" https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/20/style/in ... k-intl-dst

Like a party game… would you rather have a new C-Dory 22 for $125k or this 77’ motor yacht for $125k https://www.facebook.com/share/1BpgPnR1 ... tid=wwXIfr Obviously there’s fuel and storage costs etc., but you could use an Angler 16 as a tender :)

I had NOT tried both searches. Thank you! I gave up on the magnifying search a long time ago in favor of the "enhanced by Google" or searching in Google itself plus adding c-brats to the query. It seems the magnifying glass search is working great, as I can open the threads just fine. (The new...

Potential Workaround. Robert Wilkinson posted elsewhere that the search w/ the magnifying glass might actually work, rather than the Enhanced by Google. Trying this seems to work! So the issue appears to be the entry via Google, either the "enhanced by" box or using C-Brats and searching Google...

Thanks-- yes, that was the thread I had seen, but mostly about photos and that the issue was temporarily resolved until the eventual/pending migration happened. I wanted to raise attention to the fact the site is not working for older posts. Searching for info on transom caps-- can't open links...

Yes— I’m also unable to use most of the website. The main page works, and new posts seem accessible, but searching for anything (either in-site or by typing c-brats and my search into Google (often a better way to go)) shows me links and text previews that cannot be opened. Or rather most won’t...

Is anyone else having problems accessing most of the website? I’d say one in ten search results will open. I know there was talk of a lockdown due to an attack, but haven’t been able to find any mention of this. The irony for me is it didn’t happen until after I bought a C-Dory! I really miss...

Do they get hot in the sun like a composite wood deck on a house?

I finally bought a 22. This post can be deleted.

Thanks, Brendan. And I hear you on the underestimating, I'm that way with time. My wife will ask how long a project will take, and then verbally double whatever I say from genuine belief. "Oh I dunno, 4 hours?" "Ok so 8 hours". "No, come on, 4, mayyybe 6." "Ok so 8 maybe 12 hours" She's always...

Well done. Do you mind sharing the total time and materials budget, excluding tools?

Some notes from his FB posts to date-- check out his range (!!) * My fuel capacity allows me 680 miles range at wide open throttle and 924 miles at an optimal cruising speed of 24 mph. * On my America's Great Loop I intend to do it as quickly as I possibly can. I'm hoping to complete AGL in...

The "Our C-Dorys" page seems to have a limit of 19 pages (3600-3800 boats), which is not all of the boats. If you sort by State, descending (ie, Z to A), the list starts at "Y" and ends [partially?] through "NY". When sorted ascending (ie, A to Z), it starts at AB and ends at ID-- skipping...

He put up a whole spreadsheet on it. I only use Facebook for groups and marketplace, but it's on there: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1021197 ... 563937428/ Excerpt (and after that is a lock-by-lock with his estimate of speed etc-- I think he thinks he can go faster than the bigger boats...

Hi, Donald. Where do you store it underway? Does it fit under the filler cushion, also? Thank you.
