I have the 16 cruiser. I have the humminbird matrix 27. I like it. I already had a garmin handheld GPS and the matrix can use the GPS data when I plug the handheld into the fishfinder. It is so nice to have a breadcrumb trail of my travels. I mark hot spots as waypoints etc. It also...

I have been considering this one when I'm just cruising. It may in the way when fishing but the size seems right. http://www.rivermarinesupply.com/xcart/ ... _3000.html

You may consider waiting for a boat show in your area. Dealers often drop prices on a few of the show models to move inventory. This may be advantageous even if you have to travel to go to a bigger show. Just a thought. The dealer in my area was asking below 50K with show speical items such...

I laughed and laughed reading your post. It sure is true. In other posts I've mentioned the countless hours spent looking at the work and ideas others have put into their C-Dory's. Planning, scheming, dreaming. Now I finally have my little 16. How can I fit this here, where do I put that...

Yahoo! I followed all your kind suggestions. Everything came out fine. Whew. Thank you all. Seabran Steve, sounds great, I'll contact you shortly. :D Rob

OK, I've got the new C-Dory. It's all good. But, now comes the time to start drilling holes in my new baby. How do you get over the hole drilling anxiety? I absolutely freeze up. Suggestions? :shock: Rob

hello all, Just breaking in my new honda 40 with about 2 hrs on it. After couple of hours of proper breaking in cruising, I have no issues to contend with. The engine seems to run fine. Questions though, cleaning the boat post cruise, I noticed some dark, blackish looking oil on top of the...

Today, 6/9/05, I picked up my CD16 cruiser. The dealer had it all washed and shiny. Everything I ordered was on it. I bought it at a dealer in Oakland. The dealer asked if I would like to take her out in the bay estuary. Sure, I replied. He was one of the wrenches named Jay. Jay really...

Like many of us, I had to wait to get my brand spanking new 16 for well over a month and a half. Every single day I would go to this site and the C-Dogs site and plan every single thing I was going to add to the cruiser. I have spent seemingly countless hours pouring over every bit of info on...

Around a hundred. Yikes! Rob :smiled

holy smokes! It's you. catman! Wow, I have been reading, lurking, learning, and envying you for so long now. You can't believe how many times I have looked at your pictures. You and Chuck S. (Chuck is also tops in my book!) You have the best looking camper back of any posted here. I have...

with a quizzical look on my face, I wondered, well when would I run down the starter battery, when all the draining stuff is on the house battery? All of a sudden I pictured myself in my old car, in the rain, corroded posts, hitting the starter over and over, hoping she'll catch. Good point...

Yahoo, whoopee, we pick up our brand new 16 cruiser 6/9/05. I've got so many toys to install on her. Francesca and I have decided to call her "little Poodie". When I first showed her to wifey, she said "what a cute little poodie boat!" Sooooo.... Poodie she is. Rob :smiled

Picking up new 16 from dealer 6/9/05. She's mine! Question: I saw some cool looking armrests on Cabelas site that bolt right on to our type of seat and match colors to boot. They fold up and out of the way. Yet I can't tell if the seats will swivel around enough to face backwards and clear...
