I have a new 40 HP on a 17' fishing skiff. It is the quietest, cleanest, most economical outboard I have ever owned. Also, it is somewhat lighter than a 4-stroke would be. In a smaller boat especially, I think the 2-stroke power curve works better - quick hole shot, and low end torque. The...

I am looking at a 2006 Cape cruiser with no trailer. Does anyone have a recommendation? I know the boat is a bit heavier than the C-22, and the dimensions are slightly differnt. Thanks!! Harry

Thanks tyo everyone who replied - very helpful information, as usual. Harry

If you are buying a used boat without a Wallas, could you buy one and retrofit, how much might it cost? Thanks!!

How do you know how many hours on a 2000 Yamaha 80 engine? The owner does not know. Thanks, Harry

I might look at a C22 with an 80 hp Yamaha. Does anyone have one like this? What can I expect with a medium load vs. a 90hp?. And, if it has digital gauges, can I get an hour readout? The owner doesn't seem to know. Thanks. Harry

Thanks, Roger and Jay. Maybe there are some differences? I am looking at a 2001 model, so maybe I will have to do some measurements, then convert to cubic inches, and then divide by the appropriate number, which I think is 231 cubic inches to the gallon. Harry

What is the fuel capacity on a 2001 CD-22? Also, are the tanks translucent, so you can see the level? Thanks!!

Just wondering if anyone has comments of the accuracy and usefulness of the NADA Guides. The link to C-Dory info is: http://www.nadaguides.com/default.aspx? ... tc=MR&ml=C I am looking at a used C-22, and the published values seemed quite low, but maybe not? Thanks. Harry

Just wondering if anyone can share experiences with a wireless card in a laptop for mobile boating access. I have investigated two possibilities so far: 1. US Cellular offers a card for 99.95, and then 60.00 per month - no contract - pretty good coverage on the East coast, but the drawback...

Thanks to everyone who responded to my original post. I really appreciate the info. Harry

On an older boat that does not have the new option, how hard it is to convert to a forward-facing passenger seat on the port side? Are there any pix or instructions on this project? Thanks!! Harry

Thanks, Old Dog. That's just what I wanted to know!

What trailers are you using for an R-25, and how much do they generally cost? Also, this might be in other threads, but what do you estimate the all-up weight to be, including trailer? Thanks!

Just wanted to thank everyone for the very helpful information and comments. I can see now that the 7000# capacity would not work very well. I don't think the Admiral would go for the large tow vehicle, so I will also consider the C-22. Thanks again! Harry
