I often tow my 22 Cruiser to the Keys and back, which is about 800 miles each way. I use a transom saver bought on Amazon, which allows the 90 HP Suzuki to be tilted up enough without placing strain on the hydraulics etc. A molded rubber bracket cradles the transom and a bungee around the...

I bought the boat and trailer together about 2 years ago. The trailer was already in bad shape then. I live on a fresh water lake and do rinse everything well after travel to salt water. The boat and trailer was kept in and around salt water for the first 8 years of its life. I don't know...

I have a 2007 C-Dory 22 Cruiser currently on a Magic Tilt tandem aluminum trailer of the same vintage. The boat is in great shape. Not so much the trailer. Everything is badly rusted. To bring the trailer up to snuff, I would need to redo almost everything but the frame, including the entire...

While researching boats, one of the benefits cited for the C-Dory is the vast knowledge available on this site and the helpful and friendly people here willing to share their knowledge and experience with someone like myself. I really appreciate everyone taking their time to so carefully and...

I would love to hear Marc at Wefings, where I am likely to buy my boat, weigh in (pun regretted...)

I am towing with a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

All of this is very helpful. Thank you.

Reading in another discussion, someone mentioned that their C-Dory 22 without trailer but fully loaded weighed in at well over 5000 pounds. They thought that their boat was heavier than others because it was built after 2007 and has a fiberglass interior. The sentiment was that the dealer...
