I watched Chack Chack cruise into the Traverse City public marina this morning. We don't see too many C-Dory's in these waters, so I had to go down and see who had arrived in town. Had a very nice chat with Eric and it sounds like they're having a great trip. Eric, it was great talking with...

Tad, I had the exact same problem, except with the starboard tank. Lots of frustration as the motor would run fine at lower speeds, but once I tried to go higher speeds it wasn't long before it began sputtering. I too thought the screen at the bottom of the pickup tube wasn't obstructed...

Pat, Read this thread on the C-Brats site. http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=3802&highlight=water+heater I tried clicking on williamsburg's link, but it's now showing his head project. You might try getting in touch with williamsburg to see if he has the pictures and details somewhere...

After having several close calls with internet stores, I stumbled upon this website: http://www.resellerratings.com If I find a site and don't know anything about it, I always check them out on the Reseller Ratings site to see what kind of feedback people are leaving on them. In the case of...

Mike, I typically took Salty Dog out on Western Lake Erie. As you're probably aware, very shallow lake that can throw waves at you from all directions at the same time. Add to that the amount of traffic in the Western basin and you can have some pretty interesting conditions. The C-Dory...

I too made floorboards out of pressure treated lumber and composite lumber. Worked out nicely. Click on my photo album and look for the album Aft Deck Project. I have pictures showing how I did it and the progress. Entire project cost about $100, but I was able to find the composite lumber...

Beradon, Glad that helped you out. One thing I didn't think of. Those prices were all pricing for the components only and didn't include installation costs. So, my figure was actually low because you still have to factor in motor installation, controls, gauges, etc. Jack

John S, I think this might be who you were looking for? I know they have made interior grab rails for people and I believe they have also made radar arches. Here's a link to the thread talking about the factory arch along with the one from Brooks and another fabricator, Precision Marine...

Well, just got my February 2007 issue of MotorBoating magazine, and there it was, a nice picture of two C-Dory 25's cruising along on page 14 next to the table of contents for the issue. Article was very nice too along with more great pictures of the boats cruising along. Congratulations Anna...

Jim, I had read the same thing on the iGo as I have a Dell computer. I did a test in my truck one day and ran the battery down until it was almost dead (I think the battery had about 8% left according to the computer), then plugged the iGo into the cigarette lighter and the computer. It not...

I use an iGo system. http://www.igo.com/ You buy different tips for different applications, so if you go from a Dell laptop to a different brand laptop, you just get a different tip. It's worked much better for me than a power inverter has.
