    C-dory 22 cruiser: Factory Rated HP

    I am in the process of repowering now with a 115. The outboard shop looked at my CD22 and asked me where my rating tag was. I told them that any boat over 21 ft does not have a rating tag requirement, and/or a max HP limit. The outboard shop owner called the state of Colorado boating...

    downrigger location & opinions on best puller.

    A black box electrifies your d- rigger cables to attract fish to your cables and consequently, your lures. West coast commercial guys use this tec all the time because it flat out works. See: https://www.protroll.com/black-box-technology for complete descrtipn. This is not a joke, and I don't...

    downrigger location & opinions on best puller.

    Regarding d-riggers and their location(s): See my photo album for multiple photos on what I feel is the best location when fishing by yourself. These are located on the bow side of the Lazerette(s) for best access. My two Scotty 1099's are fully accessible at these locations. I've run these...

    Trim tab headache

    many thanks Doc and Colby for your gracious and timely help. Colby: you are correct, the tabs are Lenco's. I would like to ACCEPT your offer to take the piston/actuator off your hands. I am pretty good at electrical and I'm sure I can splice it in. I'll send you a PM with my address here in CO...

    Trim tab headache

    My trim tab recently came apart, and I'm confused as to how to fix it. The tab has been on the CD 22 since 2006. The base is attached to the piston via a pressure fitting, which has separated and the tab is now laying parallel to the transom. Their isn't any kind of a break, it's just simply a...

    Cockpit drainage - 19

    I'm with everybody else in this post. Drainage for a CD22 is not a problem. It rains a lot here in the midwest, especially in the spring. I trailer my 22 up to L. Michigan every couple of weeks fish from two to five days at a time for salmonids. I slip the boat at the marinas in transient...

    Moving to Colorado

    Thanks again for all your continued sage advice. I will be doing quite a bit of experimenting and reporting on my adventures once I move to CO next month. I'll be doing some trials with the carburated outboard, and how I met the challenges when going from low elevation (600 ft) to high...

    Moving to Colorado

    Many thanks Phil Barnes for your great tips and tricks. I fully intend to be fishing all the lakes you mentioned. Nice to see that we think alike in the fishing dep't. I'm sure their will be a learning curve on all the high mountain lakes, but my only saving grace is that I fished (trolling)...

    Moving to Colorado

    Huge thanks for the great advice so far. Great tips. I'm moving due to my bride of 32 years getting the job offer of a lifetime. I'm retired, so...... I was aware of the prop issue, but have never had to worry about it before. I do now. Additional prop discussion would be appreciated. There...

    Anyone using a Drotto Boat Latch

    I too am tired of wading into cold water or perching myself onto the trailer to hook the boat up. Not a good idea to keep doing this as I get older, so I am going to be installing a Drotto latch this boating season. I talked with guys who have them, and have checked with the manufacturer if a...

    16's on the Chesapeake Bay?

    I fished out of a CD16 Angler for 5 years from 2013 to 2018, working the waters of the great lakes and a few times on the Gulf down by Gulf Shores. I recently got into a CD22. I drove all the way out to Sa Diego to pick mine up. The guy I bought it from would regurlasy trip out 15 miles in the...

    Happiest day of a boat owner’s life

    Agreed with all above. These safe and reliable boats are a great investment in my mental well being. "Fresh Fish" is an absolute joy; weather it's working on her, harvesting lunker salmonids out of L. Michigan, or just sitting in a slip enjoying the other harbor rats, it's all great. I've...

    Fishing the great lakes

    I would be happy to help you set up your boat for fishing. the basics are the same on any lake, the specifics and a willingness to be precise with the details is what catches fish. Let me know how you want to communicate. D
