Yes, it's sold.

Thank you for that. Unfortunately it fell through because they decided it was too much for them to tow.

Hi All, Sadly, I am going to sell my CDory Venture 26. I've had her for 10 years, and didn't get to use it nearly as much as I would have liked to, but I did have a some awesome adventures on it. I put all the details over on the CDory forum on facebook, but thought I'd post a link here too...

I should have replied to this thread after I got my 2009 26 Venture. Turns out I didn't need to do anything to address this issue. The 26 Venture has an inspection plug in the floor just inside the entry door to the cabin. Upon removal, I found the void under the cabin floor to be bone dry...

Hey, Just noticed this thread since you reached out to me. Check it out - I put a 9.9 on my 2009 26 Venture right after I bought it last year, I posted a full thread with all the details: http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=22932&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Happy to answer any questions.

Yes, it is the extra long shaft. It has worked out very well, and I am still happy with my decision almost a year later.

Excellent - thanks guys. I will try to find a prop that is a couple inches less pitch than I am running now.

Hi, I'm looking to get a spare prop for my Suzuki DF175 on my Venture 26. Right now it is spinning a stainless steel 15.25 X 19R, which works perfectly where I have been running it (about 900ft above sea level). I get right up around 6000rpm full throttle. I've heard some folks having trouble...

Thanks cwthayer - just saw some pics of your canvas setup in your album. Nice. King Canvas doesn't have a pattern for the 26. So, after mulling over a haul up to Duluth, I decided to do some more searching locally. I found an award-winning canvas maker about 15 miles from my house, and she has...

Thanks Sunbeam. Hi jkidd - I also have the engine interface on mine that tracks fuel flow, fuel used, etc. However, there are downsides to that just like there are downsides to using the fuel tank level senders. Fuel tank level senders aren't precise, and can be inaccurate, but they are a...

Doubt it. I just bought the boat used, and it's a 2009. It would have to be a really excellent warranty... Oh well, it was only $100 in the long run...

Thanks Bob - yeah, the surveyor missed a few things here and there on this boat. That's okay I guess - it's a boat, so I expect that it will just be ongoing throughout the time that I own it. Another item checked off the list (for now). Brent - your guess is as good as mine. It looked perfectly...

The new EP65R showed up today, and I hooked it up and sure enough - I got an "unconfigured fuel level sensor" to show up in the bus device list in addition to the port fuel sensor. I configured it as fuel, starboard, 50 gallons, and now everything's working! Woohoo! Thanks for all of your help...

Those are really neat though Brent. I saw some like that that used soundings to measure fluid volume, but could be used on freshwater and blackwater tanks. That would be nice to be able to get those readings hooked up to the NMEA 2000 network in the boat.

They are analog sender units on the tanks, and then the leads of the ep65r unit, pictured above, connect to the sender terminals and convert the reading the nmea 2000 network data. I've found the manual for the units.... Tsturm seems to indicate maybe there is a firmware update or something...
