My wife and I have a cottage on L. Ontario, adjacent to a SP with a good ramp. The CD-22 is perfect on L. Ontario. (L. Superior is a much bigger lake, and can get much rougher, I hear). As for launching and retrieving, with my setup (dual axles and side rails on the trailer), both are a...

We might be able to do it in April, but not March.

Pat: You are welcome to use any of mine too. (My wife and I took all of them; none are copyrighted.) I especially like a couple photos I took of our CD-22 on the Erie Canal. Wayne (from Burundi, Africa!)

Since I have a "settee" on the port side, with guests on board, I typically have more weight on that side. I compensate by monitoring my gas levels in the two tanks. The Permatrims work well, but I have no adjustment fore and aft by trimming the motors, as (most of the time) I would like to...

Thanks, Kenny. It was nice to meet you and Robin. I trust you find a good boat, to serve your interests. I know the CD-22 is perfect for us. Wayne

As a local, I can confirm that there is not much traffic on the Canal. In September, my wife and I spent an entire day on the Canal and never saw another boat!

RE: Lockport launch. Locally, the launch is referred to as Widewaters. There are docks along both sides of the launch, which is wide enough for two boats to put in or pull out simultaneously. These docks extend a long ways, longer than needed for the CD (most docks at launch sites along the...

Kenny: I could pick you up in Holley, en route to Barker. Give me a call and we can decide on a date and time. Wayne

We live in Rochester, within 10 miles of the Canal. We also have a cottage in Barker. That is where we keep our CD-22 most of the time. We can put it into L. Ontario at Golden Hill SP within 15 minutes. Our most frequent launch into the Canal is Lockport, which we have found to be the best...

We live in Rochester (more specifically, off Chili Ave, ca. 1 mile west of Chili-Paul Center). Our CD-22 is in storage at Lighthouse Christian Camp (Barker, NY) where we have a cottage. We could drive up together (50+ miles one-way) to look it over. It is inside and not wrapped. Wayne...

I don't mean "pass" by a check stop without stopping or not pay the fee if required. I mean "pass" the inspection? In other words, what is there to "inspect" if the boat is clean?

Can one "pass" such a check if the boat has been washed and waxed and is perfectly clean?

As a "local," I can tell you THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA! You can't get close enough to see the Falls. Besides, it's illegal.

PS: John, no need to explain. I just found your postings--and photos-- on Hand Holds (inside the cabin as well as on the brow). Thanks.

Thanks! What kind of hardware did you install for running the rope around the brow? (It looks like you have five "points.") Wayne

Good test! Tell us how you installed the grab rope arouind the front of the cabin top...please.

I have taken interest in this thread, because... My Dad worked on the Fort Peck Dam in the summer between his junior and senior years in HS (I believe that would have been 1936). Several of his older brothers worked on it across several years. (At that time, the family lived nearby in MT.)...

Note: Several CD-22 owners have converted the settee into a side lounge, including me. Check photos in my album. This arrangement works well for "slouch lounging," as well as elsewise.

Dear Robert: We have a home in Rochester, NY ca. 10 miles south of Spencerport; we also have a cottage on L. Ontario (where we are likely to be in July-August) ca. 10 miles north of Middleport. We usually put into the Canal at Lockport. The best ramp in the area is at Lockport, just below the...

I read all of the posts on this topic: it was interesting and fun. Thanks. Here's my summary (for what it's worth): 1. Many CD owners are also RVers: no surprise, really. 2. The RV of choice, like with a boat, is a personal choice. 3. The "best" RV depends on one's (proposed and/or actual)...
