    09/05 - 09/08 - 2019 Mississippi River Gathering

    Great event with great people. I went last year for one day without my CD16 and got to hitch rides on a 22 and a 25. WOW, what an epiphany. I was amazed how well everyone sets up their boats for cruising. Bought a CD22 last October of 2018 (now dubbed the FRESH FISH), and will be trailering...

    Alternative to bottom paint?

    I have used Revolution 1000 since 2013 and have great success with my CD16 and now my CD22 under the same conditions that you are proposing to use your CD. I got the paint at the Bottom Paint Store. Here's the skinny on the paint: https://www.bottompaintstore.com/revolu ... order=DESC I...

    Fell Marine, Man Overboard Device Update

    BRAVO installing the FELL. You will be happy with not only the safety features, but your ability to secure your boat from theft. I installed the new updated version on my new (to me) CD22 and it works perfectly. I will never take chances by going out alone in bad conditions which exceed my...

    SOLD - CD16 Angler $13,000 (Springfield, IL)

    Formerly known as OPA on this site, this great CD16 Angler is SOLD. A great salmon and walleye fisherman out of South Dakota will be continuing the great heritage of this boat by putting her to work chasing the large fish plying the waters of Lake Oahe ins SD. My thanks to all of you for your...

    C-Dory prices

    That's great to hear that most folks think that C Dory's are holding their price. They are special boats to the right person. I've been trying to sell my CD16 since last October of 2018 with nary a bite (except for skammers and lowballers). Started at $16K with no interest. Have her now at...

    C-Dory 16 for large people?

    My fishing buddy is 6-9 and close to 300 lbs. He has fished on my CD16 for years with no major issues. You must account for the shifts in weight and realize that you can't both be on the same side in waves etc... common sense stuff. I lowered the drivers seat so he had headroom and he was...

    SOLD - 2001 22 Cruiser, $32,500, Portsmouth VA

    OUTSTANDING BOAT. Wish she was available back in October 2018 when I was in the market for a CD22. Good luck with your marketing and sale. I'm sure she'll sell quick. Cheers

    SOLD - CD16 Angler $13,000 (Springfield, IL)

    With all of the cold weather in the mid west, potential buyers interested in a CD16 Angler should rest assured that I've kept this boat in a heated garage. Also, I've taken her out and exercised the Honda 4 stroke whenever the weather warmed up above 40 deg F. Cheers, D

    22 cruiser gas tank re-priming after cleaning

    What is the best way to re-prime the fuel in the gas lines and water separator after re-installing the gas tanks after cleaning? I've just moved up to a CD22 from a CD16 and have very little knowledge on how this gets done. The original owners manual does not cover this point either. Lots of...

    Autopilot options for Tomcat 255

    cmetsenberg is correct: autopilots (AP's) cause the hydraulic system to work extremely hard. I have sat on various boats and watched in amazement as the motor takes wide swings back and forth for hours trying to keep the motor on the track or course set by the Navigator. I always wondered if...

    And yes, your new hardware, including your pump will work seamlessly with your existing hydraulic steering system.

    Autopilot options for Tomcat 255

    Have been using a Lowrance Outboard Autopilot in conjunction with my HDS Gen 2 Touch 9 for three seasons with great success (as you know, the HDS 2 is similar to your HDS 3). Have trolled thousands of hours after salmonids and char on the great lakes with no complaints on this AP and the sonar...

    stabalizing binoculars

    Great posts with great ideas. I can't bring myself to exit without chiming in in favor of a Vortex optic for your boat: http://vortexoptics.com/category/binoculars Not a marine optic. However, the incredible glass, magnification, HD (extra-low dispersion glass that results in HD images)...

    C-Dory 26 Venture vs. Lakes Michigan and Huron

    HARDEE: The great lakes water is sooooooooo different than the ocean, the gulf, or a smaller lake. Having boated out in the Pacific for many years chasing salmon and rockfish, most swells are predictable. The great lakes water is totally unpredictable. I've been in wave events that beat me up...

    C-Dory 26 Venture vs. Lakes Michigan and Huron

    I have been working the waters of Lake Michigan from Kenosha, WI, South to Gary, IN and North to Manistee, MI chasing salmonids since 2011. My boat of choice so far has been a lovely CD16 Angler. Lake Michigan is a fical old girl and has tested the boat every chance she gets. I have experienced...

    book on boat wiring

    As usual, Doc Bob is spot on. I have been cleaning up and organizing the wiring on my new to me CD22 and have referenced some of the the books and they are great. It'll be up to you to mix and match the ideas and techniques that best suit you. So much to do and so little time, eh?
