Marc Grove from Wefing's Marine did a wonderful job of selling our C-Dory 25 Cruiser in just a couple of weeks from listing. We are very happy to have met Marc from whom we bought our boat and since we couldn't use it for what we bought it, sold it also through him 2 years later. It was great...

We are selling our boat which is in impeccable shape. We are selling it through Wefings Marine - Marc Grove Phone Number 850-653-5950 (direct) or 850-670-8100 (Wefings). Marc will post a link with a description and pictures. I hope one of my fellow C-Brats will enjoy it as much as we have.

It is slow and noisy but it solves the issue; works very well with our grade. I also use it occasionally freewheeling, like towing or pushing the C-Dory 25 trailer w/o the boat, then obviously I can go pretty fast - relatively (and noiseless). The only issue I have had with it have been the...

Jdsawlor, I use it every time for pulling and/or pushing and it works like a charm. Where it is more difficult is with the single ball post option, since you have to really tighten the ball to the trailer hitch so it won't wobble, the EZ connect solves this completely. We have a very long...

I bought the Parkit 360 and couldn't be happier with it. First we used it for our Bayliner 19 (which we are selling), but it would have been impossible to maneuver our recently acquired C-Dory 25. It moves it w/o any problem. The boat stays at the marina and then I use the dolly to park the...

Hi Jay, definitely agree with you about Alaska not being for everyone but it is a very beautiful state - been there a couple of times (Cruise ships), The a/c we have has a through hull on the bottom and utilizes sea water (exterior water) and can be used to cool down or to heat - has heater...

I submitted this post twice - sorry still learning

Hi Jay, thanks for letting me know about your C-Dories. I clicked on the caption Our Playground and it is a really beautiful area you boat in but too cold for us. Our Galveston Bay is navigable most of the year - except for a few storms or terribly low tides sometimes when the north winds are...

Just wanted to thank Bob and Jay, for your input. The cap was stuck, I used more force (after viewing the explicit manual downloaded from Lewmar) and it released, then I disassembled the gypsy (very easy) and cleaned it and greased it. My windlass works like a charm now. Thanks guys. Jay I do...

Thanks Bob for your answer, we do have the manuals and I have seen several videos about the problem. I went to the manufacturers site - wrote an email today to technical support, but found a much better manual about it in 6 languages, with excellent drawings and detailed instructions. I think...

We want to thank everybody that answered our post of being new owners, we been reading C-Brats even before buying our boat and love the comadaredy, friendship, respect and communication you all have, we feel very honored for being part of the "family" now. Larry, we bought the boat on November...

After searching for a while (many months), we finally found and bought a 2007 C-Dory 25' Cruiser at Wefing's Marina in East Point, Florida - great experience, super nice people (thanks Marc for all your insight). We towed it back to Houston were we live, in reality 1/2 hour away right by...

We recently bought a 2007 C-Dory 25' Cruiser, which we been wanting for long and are in the process of detailing, washing, cleaning, etc, everything. My question is about our Windlass a horizontal Lewmar 700 with the Pro Fish accessory. It works well electrically and if I use it manually to lift...

We recently bought a C-Dory 25' Cruiser and went to East Point Florida (Wefing's Marina) to pick it up. Since we live in Houston it was a 770 miles each way experience. Coming back and with tires in pretty good shape and correct (manufacturer specs) inflation, we had a blow out about 500 miles...

My brother in law bought a Chaparral 310 with a Volvo Penta setup (2 motors) and unfortunately had a grounding, but still allowed him to limp back home. He took it for service (still limping) and to make a long story short, it was months before it was repaired - things like the out-drives...
