Found the book and it has a very long explaination on compression check and crankcase pressure. It would be best to go to your public library and read it from their manuals. They usually have them in and you can check them out to take with you as you do the engine check. Where is the one you are...

Hi Zach, Two years ago I bought a 1989 16 foot C-Dory angler with a 40 hp Johnson from Verels here in Shelton Wa. for $4800. It was in fair to good shape but the blue trim color was very faded. The engine ran good and the trailer was in good shape. I was satisfied with it but had a chance to...

Hi All, Well Judy and I put on over 9000 miles on our trip to Florida and NEVER even saw a C-Dory anywhere :sad . We were in over 20 states where I saw a zillion boats, even one Home security police boat with 4 Merc 225s hanging on the transom. They told me it would do over 70 miles per hour...

Cute Mike but I don't agree with you about either subject. Blue~C wouldn't tell anything but the truth :roll: and I have some of your fine crafted items on Scorpio. :D Glad to see you posting again. Missed all the good stuff you put into this board. :thup

I thought the C stood for COMRADIRIE because there sure is a lot of it in this C-dory groupe.

And how about http://hometown.aol.com/tonieogi/index.html

Wow Larry you beat me to that by one minute HEE HEE

Jim Here is another C-Dory site for good information and wonderful pictures. http://groups.msn.com/SoundDreams/_whatsnew.msnw

Hi Chuck, I have two straps from eyes thru the transom to brkts on the trailer and Bill (Brave Heart) has one strap across the back of the boat like yours. It seems that either way of tieing down the rear of the boat it will still jump forward when you brake hard. I think this is because of...

Hi All, Awhile ago I posted about having to slam on my brakes to keep from hitting a fellow who pulled out in front of me from a blind corner. It was about how my 16 ft cruiser Scorpio jumped forward on the trailer causeing it to drop down on the trailer ahead of my rear most rollers bending...

Hi All, Bill, Mike I was looking for an album for the 16 footer Brave Heart which belongs to Bill and Evelyn in Gig Harbor and could not find one :sad . They post to this site and I wondered if they had asked for one or even knew how to go about doing so. Would it be presompitive of me...

It would take much more than a thousand words to express my thanks to Larry and Helen for the wonderful time I had and the gracious hospitality they extended me while I was staying with them for the C-Brat Cruise. The fun and excitment was nonstop from the first minute till the last. Watching...

My grandson came to visit and asked me to take him fishing in Hunky Dory. :lol: In my album Hunky Dory are two pictures of his first fish thru fourth fish :wink: . He was soooo excited and wants to go again in the morning. A new fishing partner in the making!!! :thup

Hi All, When I left the bunch at Jarrells Cove there were 13 C-Dorys and two VERY large boats tied up to the dock. Everyone was having a good time. They were all looking at each others boats and saying " I want that and that and maybe even one of those". A lot of new faces and boats that just...

Hey GUYS, :roll: What is wrong with you guys? I wear my Kilt to special occasions often. :lol: I am very proud of being Scottish and Icelandic. The man who holds " THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD" title wears a kilt in the matches for the title. My grandson can hardly wait for the...

Hi All, I went out with Bill & Evelyn to day for a nice trip by Vashon island on the South end and back to Gig Harbour. Had a very nice visit and watched Bill gain confidence in his 16 footer. We docked three times and he was very good at doing so on the last try. Getting the boat onto the...

Hi Jon, I have an Atlantis hand held VHS which has worked fine for me for the past 2 years. It is pretty much line of sight when trying to reach other boats. It is great for hooking up with your fishing buddies when out on the lakes and rivers. On the sound it seems to have a longer range...

Hello Bill & Evelyn, Welcom to the pub. I use launches with out docks all the time. I carry a pair of hip boots in the truck and wear them to launch and retrieve my 16 footer. I wear a pair of canvas deck shoes while running the boat for safety reasons and throw the hip boots up front after...
