A lot of you mention top speed and I don't think anybody here disagrees about there been a very finite limit to the safe handling capabilities of the C-dory hull. Everybody pretty much agrees that above 28-30 and things get squirrelly in a hurry. Out of curiosity, are you all happy with the...

That sounds expensive... the manufacturer who would have built your catamaran is long since out of business and a new owners now have the molds. Your warranty, if you had one, is not valid and will not be honored unfortunately, although unless it was a lifetimeish hull warranty, being 13 years...

Well clearly, I totally blew things out of proportion or misinterpreted tone and for that I apologize. Bob, once again, just so we are clear, my apologies to you. Chimoii... so help me out here. I've read that prop diameter has little to do with thrust or torque. Pitch does. According to what...

Bob again, not sure why I sense so much hostility from you about this. You are right, it is my money and I will do what I want. That being said, just so we are clear, the question originally posted wasn't as to the merits/detriments of dual 60s, it was whether it was even doable from a...

Bob, come on now, the above seemed rather stern and almost a bit indignant. The truth of the matter is that I am not "bent" on 60s at all. However i am a firm believer in getting the best bang for my buck! Something most of us can agree upon I'm sure. I also feel like the topic is open for...

Thanks for the input guys... like I said, same weight, relatively same cost, so it was sort of a "why not" type of question. I guess I will see what comes to pass... clearly this has been reevaluated by the factory through the years, hence the bump to 115. I've read a number of threads after...

My thoughts exactly... the only reason I could see not to go with 60s would be if they were simply shifting the horsepower/torque curve up the rev band which wouldn't translate into any better performance or mileage depending on how you were running. The question is can you even mount the twin...

Looking at things and the cost differential is minimal so it was sort of a why not type of question. It seems like a number of folks are quite pleased with the 115 over the 90 and I would assume resale would be slightly better.

I've been checking out various outboards recently as I look to purchase and I know that the hull speed on the CD22 is now rated at 115. Would a dealer be able to install twin 60s on that boat even though it would come in at 120 or are you forced to drop down to 50s? The DF60a, DF50a, and DF40a...

I will say that after looking at a 2009 Venture 23 and a new 2012 Venture 23 at Sportcraft, the glass and gelcoat work and overall attention to detail was much better on the 2012 boat.

I know of two personally that went to Sportcraft in Oregon and then on to new owners, one of them went to California if I remember correctly, and they have one they are finishing rigging that will soon be on its way to Arizona. Those were both factory fresh deliveries if I recall.

So if I was wanting to procure an additional cushion for that indented middle section on the 22, who did you guys go through? Was that orderable through the factory? What is the cushion material... just foam?

Yeah, that is why I was posting about the boat, trying to find more info on her. I agree with everybody that she is way over priced. I was trying to track down the boat and the owner to see just how large of a markup they were doing on her. As for Les and Marc, my dealings with both through the...

I thought I posted the link: http://www.popyachts.com/Page/Site-List ... /Page.html I too would rather deal with the private party hence my curiosity if anybody knew the boat or the owner.

It is listed by a company that has a less than stellar reputation on "the hull truth" and other sites. I guess their tactic is to contact sellers directly and then markup the price by 30-40%. I'm just curious if a fellow c-brat owns the boat. If anybody knows who it is or if the owner is...
