...For me it's simplifying ....easier to launch,retrieve, trailer, anchor,....fewer things to go wrong....more economical.

Considering CDory 16 cruiser or going back to sail with a Compac Eclipse.

Boat is sold.

I'm thinking my question wasn't quite broad enough. I will as per your advice register the boat in Florida, but do I title it also in Florida? or in my home state of Illinois? (I'm feeling really stupid.)

Many thanks for the information....looks like Fl registration is the way to go.

Living in Illinois, buying a boat in Florida. The boat will be on a lift in Florida year around; we will use it one month a year. Do I register it in Illinois or Florida? Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for all the replies. I think backing in too far has been my mistake. With previous boats three feet of dry bunks has worked fine....time to experiment. I've used the hard braking trick with success. But feel it is too hard on the equipment, plus for some strange reason my wife...

We want to launch at the north end of Kentucky Lake and cruise for at least a week--maybe two. Any suggestions for the best ramp/best truck and trailer security? A C-Dory friend has suggested Lighthouse Landing. Additional opinions would be appreciated.

We have launched from Sandy Point State Park many times. Just east of Annapolis before the bridge. Don't miss the turnoff or you'll have to go over the bridge and back. It is marked. several ramps----quiet water

Thank you for your wise advice. The "Olive" will soon become the "Anna Marie III" (I know how to please/mollify a wife.)

OK, so I bought a used C-Dory and want to change the name and remove the old registration numbers. Any particularly good tricks for doing this? A hair dryer on "hot" has been suggested. Does it work? Is there a better method. Thanks, Tom
