I must agree with Dusty. I own a 2006 21ec tug and love it for probably every reason you don't. To me it is a great balance between form and function. I have always appreciated a design that can do the most with the least. I have spent many nights on the boat and have used all of the...

On my tug at WOT, 3600 rpm, I can get 10.5 at best. Every boat has a "sweet spot" where everything seems to come together and operate smoothly. That is at 2400 rpm for me which is around 7 mph. However it does run pretty smooth at 3600 rpm as well. Just a little louder.

John, It's finally starting to feel like spring here. I will try to get some pictures this week.

Sure, It's a little cold here right now, 10 degrees, but as soon as it warms up a bit I will try to take a few pictures.

No they are not at the same level. The engine box is lower than the rear bench seat but with the factory pad on top of the engine box they are pretty close. Part of the portable berth I made sits on the engine box with the pad and the other end butts up to the rear bench seat and has two...

Having owned both a C-Dory 22 and a Ranger 21-EC I would have to agree that the 22 comes ready to accommodate three people easily, but with a little creativity the 21-EC can be modified to sleep more. I have added a full camper back and then made a removable berth from starboard that rests on...

Thanks to this wonderful web site this boat has finally found a good home and great new owner on the upper Tennessee River around Knoxville TN. The deal was done with a persons word and a hand shake (and of course the necessary legal documents). I feel good again. Thank's C-Brats!. Jim

Let the buyer beware, or let the seller beware? This boat is still for sale. It appears I was premature in stating that the boat was sold. As they say the deal isn't done until the money changes hands. I am trying to do the honorable thing but that isn't working out too well lately. Twice I...

Well, as of today the boat has sold. The buyer is coming next tuesday to pick up the boat but I can answer some of your questions for future reference. A good cruising speed is similar to the 22, high teens to low twenties. All 19's come with tabs but if you leave them neutral the boat does...

Congratulations on your new boat. I also have a 2006 21EC Tug and absolutely love it! I have owned various sizes of C-Dory's over the years and they were all great but as of now the tug is my favorite. I would like to know what you think after you have some time to spend with her. Enjoy Jim

My first exposure to C-Dory's was an article in Small Boat Journal magazine sometime in the early 80's and from that moment on I knew I would own one some day. Unfortunately, at the time I could barely afford the magazine let alone the boat. In 98 I drove to Superior Wisconsin to pick up a...

We have finalized our spring midwest C Dory gathering. It will be held in conjunction with Rabidfish Marine's annual "Get Rabid" in-water boat show. Opportunity to "demo" the C Dory line from the 16 through the 25. ( Sorry, we don't think the Tomcat will be here by then) The date will be...
