I spent over a week cooking daily our 21 EC in the galley! Your comments are observational based on no experience actually boating any time in this boat. Husband is 6'3" and 230 pounds and I am 5'6" and 125 lbs and we do great in this boat for days on end sleeping a board and cooking meals...

Hello- Are you able to get comprehensive insurance on this build? It appears another person who purchased either the first or near first build was having difficulty getting comprehensive insurance due to it the hull identifier showing the boat as a "Washington State homemade boat.", or...

Can someone tell me if a Marinaut 215 has a comfortable ride at 7-9 knots per hour over long distance cruising as that is the crushing speed we prefer. Don't mean to be rude but not looking for comments about other boats. Just want to know if cruising speeds need to be in the higher ranges for...

However, it appears there is no good reason to change the 40/40, especially when taking in all the well thought out considerations posted here. We are looking at a 22 cruiser that has a 90 hp but then that meant us having to put a kicker on. We have read a 9.9 kicker will not push the boat in...

Hello All, We are considering a 22 cruiser and want to know if a 40 hp and 30 hp configuration will push the boat around. We prefer to travel at under 10 knots so we think we would need a much smaller motor than a 40 horse for 5-10 knot cruising but want to be able to kick it up to 20 knots if...

Found "Capt Mac" pictures and his back bench. Every boat we have had has had cockpit seating so I never really thought about it until considering a 22. With the right materials and a very handy husband, lounging is very doable if we decide to go the built in route. otherwise it appears we...

We really appreciated the great ideas from everyone and for pointing us to photos of mods. Having owned many boats, we are well familiar with how ever changing lifestyle needs and wants factor in to choice. The C-Dory is so well loved and seems so well made that we have to consider it at this...

Thataway- What a great photo album you have provided. We saw the dry rot pictures- That looked like a lot of work! Your boat looks great!

Bob, Thanks for the ideas and letting us know we would have difficulty doing a pedestal instal.. Do you know how high the sides of the cockpit are. Another concern for lounging is not being in a hole. Coming from a sailboat and being used to seeing the water while lounging, being able to find...

Hello- We just read that the cockpit is 4"6" long in the C-Dory 22 cruiser. Couldn't one just mount four swiveling pedestal seats back there- two on each side so you can use one for a leg rest for lounging about and then have four seats maybe with a removable table in the middle for eating...

Hello- We just read that the cockpit is 4"6" long in the C-Dory 22 cruiser. Couldn't one just mount four swiveling pedestal seats back there- two on each side so you can use one for a footrest for lounging about and then have four seats maybe with a removable table in the middle for eating...

Hello C-Brats!!- Is there room in your 22' C-Dory Cruisers to put side benches for seating are at least 16" deep on both sides and at least four feet long and still leave comfortable walking room to the motor or for big feet while sitting? Just saw a picture of two long benches in a 22...

Hello C-Dory Owners. We are contemplating an 22 C-Dory Angler so we can put benches in the cockpit for lounging about, a huge priority for us. We had benches in our sailboat and absolutely loved them and they were even slept on and the most used seats in the house even though we had a nice...

WOW! Wonderful responses to get us thinking more in line with overall and long term goals. After seeing the benches in the angler's cockpit we think that could work. Will post a question about v-berth size. I don't see any reason we could not fabricate an interior and exterior to suit us...

Hello C-Dory Owners! We are not new to boating but are new to making a decision on whether to go 22" C-Dory or 21" Ranger tug EC but having trouble deciding. We understand both boats are excellent in so many ways and are great quality as well. We understand the difference in terms of speed and...
