It seems like it is the fuel pick up in the tank that has the problem. As thataway mentioned the fuel pick up can get clogged by debris or corrosion. The pick up can be easily changed with a new one at West Marine or any other boat store. Or else it could be the check valve is stuck (at the...

I just read an archived reply about purchasing a C-Dory 22 that said, "get twin engines if you can". Is this really the case? It seems that a single 75-90 would get better fuel economy and coupled with a 9.9 high thrust kicker would give good trolling plus be less expensive to purchase while...

Weight matters and settles the 22 vs. 25 question which is outstanding! No problem with blunt, I get that easily. Just not the subtle stuff.... Looks like the angler does NOT have a table, so that would be a no go. Arimas were updated with an improved lapstrake design in about '91 which...

Yes, it was an excellent year for crabs, we pulled one pot that held 34 crabs, though they weren't all keepers, of course. But lots of 7 inchers! I'm not sure I'd want to consume a crab that had been snacking on iodine. Isn't that stuff bad for you??? Mark

Took off from Edmonds yesterday for the 10:00am low tide at Pt. No Point. First troll caught a 6-7 pounder, third troll nabbed a 23 incher. Packed up and came home! And it was sunny, to boot! Days like this make up for all those other kind of days. Mark if i ever find out how to post a pic...

If you buy into some energy investments at least you don't feel completely taken advantage when prices go up.

Thanks for the very informative responses. In no particular order: My slip will accept 32 feet of whatever sticks out front to whatever sticks out back, so would a 25 work there? I have a lot of room for error with my 19 : ) There is a C-Dory I believe is a 25 on my dock that I have admired...

Hi, I'm not a current owner of a C-Dory but I want to be. I am able to arrange to travel to Oregon on Friday or the weekend, whatever works best for you. Do you have a clear title? You can reach me through my contact info in the private message I sent. Thank you Mark

Hi, I currently have an Arima Sea Ranger 19 which is the best boat I've ever owned in terms of utility, performance and economy- 5+ mpg with a Yamaha 100. However, my wife wants a boat with a table. My primary use is fishing, but we like to picnic and boat camp, too. I've read that the...
