Just wanted those who have been tracking this thread (since I started it) to know we ordered the CD 25 with a 150 HP main and a 15 HP kicker. I sea trialed a CD 25 with the Honda 150 at the Miami Boat Show. (The story of the sea trial was covered on a separate post.) Anyhow, that really made...

Yes, the sweet spots are definitely at 3500 rpm (14.9 mph/ 3.9 mpg) or 4500 rpm (23 mph/ 3.7 mpg). The 4000 rpm (18.0 mph/3.5 mpg) isn't too bad, most other boaters would kill for that economy. I would have thought 18 mph might be a more practical fast cruise speed here in the bay when it gets...

To those who want the Honda 150 on a CD 25 report, please send an email to me at tjm@bmpinc.com (I can't figure out how to attach the .pdf file here). I was told that any given motor may not necessarily come with the same Solas prop that was tested, but any prop of similar size and pitch should...

Well, that shouldn't be too hard to deal with, especially if CD made the switch out less painful... We just ordered the CD 25 with the 150. I received a test report from Honda with the CD 25 w/ 150 Honda that I sea trialed at the Miami Boat Show. Be happy to share it with whomever is...

Jen and I have a slip for Saturday night. If we come over on Friday we may just go on the hook. We're looking forward to it!

Took a sea-trial with Jeff in Miami. Ordered a 25 two weeks later. My guess is with all this activity he is not only alive and well but smiling too!

Just ordered a 25 with the factory fridge, and will be cruising the Cheaspeake in the sweltering mid-atlantic summer. We'll have the Honda 150 + 15 kicker with electric start (for the bigger alternator). We'll have 3 batteries (one for kicker), but 2 connected with the typical 1, 2, or 1+2...

Greetings... Just wanted Tom and the group to know it's official, we plunked down our deposit and our boat should be rigged and ready by early May (Cutter), so the June 3-5 weekend on the eastern shore looks like a winner. We're obviously excited, so here's the details... We're getting a CD25...

Greetings- Just wanted the group to know that a C-Dory 25 Cruiser was proudly on display and in the water for sea-trials at the Miami International Boat Show. I was fortunate enough just to be in Miami in Feb. and take in a day of the show, but to sea-trial a 25 too, what a day! Here's the...

Thanks again for the feedback. Definitely leaning toward the 15 HP kicker + bracket. Now, the question is becoming more one of electronics and I realize that's a different forum. The dealer has a "show special" whereby he's throwing in a "$2,000" electronics package, a Garmin 188 (no chip)...

Talked to the dealer today about the CD25 with a 150HP main and a 15HP kicker. He suggested we consider a 9.9 kicker instead. While I think that would probably be fine as a trolling motor, I don't know whether it would have enough umph to deftly maneuver a 25 while crabbing or get us home...

Thanks for the replies. Looks like the 150 (or 135) + kicker is making more sense for us. Does anybody have experience running a 22 or 25 from the stern with a tiller mounted control on a kicker? Is this a practical way to crab or troll? Cheers, TJ

Greetings all- We're new here on C-Brats. Live in MD on the upper Cheasapeake and are thinking about a 25. Wondering whether 2- 90s or a 150 and a 15 kicker would be more practical. We need some top end speed, but are more interested in efficient cruising, quiet operation and suitability to...
