Hi John, These are awesome boats. Check out the for sale boats on the site. Just scroll down. Start towards the bottom of the list. Seems like there are more current listings. Also, check out both Craigslist Seattle,and Portland, OR. There are a couple of cruiser’s for sale. Good...

30 miles out. Swells and Wind Waves. Trip back was a rough crossing with a 10mph side wind all the way back to Ilwaco. C-Handler was up to the task. What a well engineered and designed boat. Was glad to make it back even though no Halibut.

First trip across the Columbia River Bar at Ilwaco for Halibut.

My 2017 115HP Suzuki make little noise underway. I would check the prop or maybe the shaft internally may be slightly bent. Manufacturing defect? These are very good engines. I see more and more in my area. If you are in Oregon John from Sportscraft Marine or Blackhawk Marine might be...

If it does not start on the house battery or the red 🔥 light starts blinking. Turn off unit and start again with the main engine running. They take some amps draw to start but once the heater is running it will take next to nothing (Amps) to keep running. Scan told me to run diesel for this...

I have the DT85 on my C-Dory. Had the pump seize up. Had to take it to Scan Marine. They replaced the pump and reprogramed the brain. (You do not want to mess with the module that programs the amount of fuel that feeds the burner. After they fixed it, I have not had a problem in a year. Works...

Hi Pat, Congratulations on the new engine. I thought you were located in north of Portland. I love my 2017 115hp Suzuki and 9.9hp kicker also the gauge is way better than Yamaha. The Suzuki has the sweetest sound under power. Note: the 9.9 engine has an oil filter. One of the only kickers...

Congratulations on the new to you C-Dory. I have owned mine for a year and a half and dream of spending much more time cruising all over the Puget Sound, Inside Passage, and the PNW. People on this site are beyond awesome and will help you with any questions you might have regarding your new...

Hi Clay, I just checked out that ramp today. It has been years since I have launched out of Lake River. I figured if the Columbia was still litered with Seals and Sea Lions maybe the Multnomah Channel or the Willamette would be a better option. I cannot believe the size of Ridgefield...

Hi Clay, Great pictures "Hammerhead" looks most awesome in the clear blue water. Not sure about the toes in a few of the pictures (LOL)! Hope you had a great time, and the boat did well with no damage from the terrible roads. Been looking for you on the Columbia River. So...

Hi Ed, Congratulations on your new purchase. There are C-Brat gatherings and many places to see around the Puget Sound and San Juan Islands. It is much easier to trailer your boat then motor up north or down south. Trailers are not cheap and sometimes on back order. It is a tough...

Thanks Dr. Bob, I sure hoped you would have had some experience with Maxwell you could share. I cannot believe their customer service. (World Class) to say the least. Thanks again to everyone who piped in on this conversation 👍 I appreciate everyone’s insut.

Thanks to everyone for all your advice. I do have a new question. I am looking at the Maxwell HRC7FF. It is a horizontal with free fall. Is the horizontal as good as a vertical?

Not to sound like an idiot but aluminum is lighter than fiberglass then why would a 22’ Jasper boat need 300hp? Maybe it goes 50+ mpmph I would like to see it down at the Columbia River bar going thru less than stellar weather like the FaCdory test team in the 22’ cruiser.

First test. Worked perfect 👍
