Well, I already have a canoe and a 14' whitehall. If I buy the 25 then I will be well on my way!

Jim - Thanks for sharing your buying/decision making experience. It is amazing how similar it is to what I am going through right now. Clearly I have a lot to learn about the tom cat (and C-Dorys in general). I am truly amazed at how how helpful people are on this site. It is really...

Charlie - I think you misrepresented my response. Perhaps you should post the whole things rather than your synopsis. I fully admitted that it is not a lake boat - it is just my perception, so I hope you didn't take it personally. I'm sure your tom cat is a great boat - just not for me...

Thanks for all the input! I have decided to go with the 25. Going to see it in the next couple of days.

Thanks for all the info. I have learned never to trust a manufacturer's specification of weight! Thank you for pointing this out to me! I like the idea of just paying someone with a truck to haul out and launch once a year. Thanks again Glen

Hi Roger - thanks for the info. I think you are likely right since I have heard that a CD22 is pushing 5000 lbs fully loaded. The part I find confusing is that the C-Dory manufacturer's site makes the following claim for the C-Dory 25 specifications (see http://www.c-dory.com/boats/classic/cru...

Hi, I have been looking for a C-Dory 22 for the last month or so. Recently a C-Dory 25 came up for sale in my area, so I am now considering that. My original reason for going with the CD22 was that I could tow it easily with my X-terra (max 5000 lb towing capacity), whereas the CD25 is...

Thanks Karl - I was going to ask you for a picture, but I didn't want to bother you. You must have read my mind. Glen

Thanks for all the replies. I found it much more fun reading these posts as they came in rather than searching through all the old posts (which I also did). There are many good points that were brought up that I did not think of before. As you may expect, I am not sold on one method over the...

Wow - I had no idea there were so many threads on this subject. Sorry for bringing up old news. Obviously I am just getting into this game. But clearly this is a relevant topic. I will spend the next few weeks combing through the threads. Sorry to bother you. Glen PS I do appreciate the...

OK I have read a few threads on this and people seem to have their opinions on using twin 40 or 50 HP engines or a single 90 (or similar) HP + a 9.9ish kicker. I am undecided on what the best option is. Here are some things I have heard and I would love to get opinions from C-dory owners...

It sounds like a good idea to try to get down there. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for the quick response. That helps a lot. Does anyone know what years each factory made the C-Dory? Also, anyone near Victoria that owns one and wouldn't mind me taking a look. I have never seen one first hand yet. Thanks, Glen

Hi, I'm in the market for a new or used C-Dory 22 Cruiser or similar style of boat. I am curious to know if there are any major design changes over the years that I should be aware of. I understand that they have been made in different factories over the years. Did the quality of the build...
