I would like to be able to transfer (siphon) fuel via the Racor spin on filter in the splash well to either refill my generator or dinghy motor. I don't want to carry a spare jerry can for those two when I have 100 gallons in the main tank. I have read/searched here plus some other sites and...

Derrick My wife and I just finished reading your blog as well as jumping over to read your mate's log. Thanks so much for running the blog. We have a 2007 25' and The Loop is something we would like to do in the next few years. I noticed one of your readers posted "what is Grits" after your...

We mostly dinghied to shore but I think you will be able to find plenty of places to dock. From Key Largo down to Bahia Honda you should be OK. After Bahia Honda you’ll probably need to jump down to Key West to get a wide variety of marinas/dockage. The Waterway Guide will be good for Marinas...

That sounds like a great trip. We just got our C-Dory 25 in Sept and have only used her in the Destin FL area. My wife and I use to keep a MacGregor 26 sailboat in the Keys. The Mac is a water ballast motorboat/sailboat that is IIRC about 3500#. No big heavy keel. Before I forget to ask....What...

Don't forget about sales tax in Florida. You have to pay that on the boat, maybe not the motor and contents if itemized on bill of sale. Not sure if Illinois is a sales tax or personal property tax state. FLHSMV.GOV has registration costs and links to tax assessor offices. I live in GA, which...

Boris, I’ll definitely bring some ¼ hose to further reduce the weight. No need to use gas to haul some more gas. Didn’t know if the deck fill had too much of a bend to get the hose in or not. I a bulb on the ¼ hose should do it. I try to avoid sucking on the end. Love you website and pictures...

Thanks everybody for the reply. Just as I got started getting ready for our trip this weekend I hurt my neck somehow. On the mend but it was not comfortable sitting and typing. I checked where I got the weight for the boat, trailer, and motor and it was in a PDF of the Fluid Marine C-Dory 25...

The hitch is bolted to the frame and not the bumper. Has about a 2" square hole that you put the ball assembly into. The hitch bar is about 24 inches. The hitch has a tag that says "Weight Distributing 10,000 lbs" and "Weight Carrying 5,000 lbs" and "Max Tongue Weight Distributing 10,000 and...

My wife and I hope to close on a 2007 C-Dory 25 next weekend. The admiral made sure I wired money into her boat buying account this week to make sure she was ready. I have a few questions and I have searched the forum but I am still a little unsure. Just some quick background. We had a...
