Welcome home. We are at the airport in Allentown PA waiting to head back to sunny Florida. I miss my C-Dory! Saturday should be 81 degrees and a chance to get out on the water.

Gary Does this mean you have given up on the idea of fitting into a 16? There is a lot to be said for a boat that is easy to use and can get you into places bigger boats cannot go. When we first moved to Florida I bought 3 kayaks, one of which was only 9 feet long and weighed 35 lbs. It was...

I had a Saturn inflatable. Put in a plywood floor so I could stand while fishing. Used it with an electric trolling motor as a "fishing boat". Liked it for the price, however I found I always had to inflate before a day of fishing. I also have the Saturn sit on top inflatable kayak. Fun to...

Welcome As a new 16 owner myself, I can recommend the boat very highly. When I was "searching", I would check out everyone's photos for ideas. Things I would have done differently? Maybe gone to the Honda 50 instead of the 40. Waited on the Sunbrella top. It does get in the way of fishing...

Thanks Jimi will do.

I am thinking of upgrading my seats. Stationary buckets or reclining captain's chairs? Anyone particularly in love with their seats? Any suggestions. Ideal on the 16 would be a more narrow seat that reclines.

Anyone want to recommend trips on their 16's? Here in New Smyrna The River View Grille and Hotel as well as The Night Swan are great little B&B's with boat docks. The Night Swan's is free.

I also tow with Jeep Liberty 2003 with 130,000 miles and a very rusty tow hitch. May be time to upgrade. What ever happened to the six passenger sedans that could tow almost anything? As far as roughest seas, I have yet to venture into the open ocean however I have been waked by some pretty...

Merry Christmas and let's all hope 2014 is a better year. My boat becomes a model year older already.

Thanks Dave Those 2 seats came off of my Duffy Electric. Blueback 30 MPH would be "flying" for me. I'm sure weight on board is a factor and I probably carry more "stuff" than I need.

I actually reached 23.5 MPH today with a strong current and wind behind me.

Merry Christmas everyone. Looking forward to a New Year of adventure.

Thanks for the information Lizzie. I had a feeling the Honda 50 was not going to provide say an extra 10 MPH. I agree with you that I feel like we're traveling pretty fast at 22 on the water. The most enjoyable speed for me, especially to take in the scenery is 8 to 10 MPH. I do wish our...

I had thought about this as well. While I enjoy posts of people's adventures, most of which make me jealous and wish I could be on them, I do think the C-Dory 16 and their owners are unique. Let's face it, it's a small cool boat. We are the minority in the C-Dory world. I think we...

Casey and Mary Enjoy the trip! We spent 4 nights over Thanksgiving at a Westin in Cape Coral which is where Tarpon Point Marina is located. Also did Fort Myers Beach and had lunch at Nervous Nellies. I would highly recommend all three when you get to that side.
