Cool video. Thanks. I grew up with the 35 then the 50 then the 75. Powerful stuff back in the day. Greg

Anita Marie - I would rather support you than blast you. Your reasons for posting are the reasons for which I enjoy this site, and I share your concerns. The political stuff stresses me for reasons I won't go into, but I assure you that lack of an opinion or a disinclination to argue are not...

Given your perspective, Roger, I think my curiosity about the box anchor is totally resolved. Thanks! Greg

Thanks, Tim. Smittypaddler's trouble anchoring on his St. John's trip popped to mind when I saw the box anchor. Greg

What is the collective wisdom on the box anchor offered by the same company? Does it really work as claimed? Does it offer advantages over others in some situations? Greg

If I recall correctly, the walkways to the bow are a little wider, reducing the cabin width a bit. Greg

Les, You deserve to toot your own horn for a lot of reasons, and this rail is certainly one of them. It is a great addition to our boat, and I can't imagine that most CD 25 owners wouldn't love it. We thank you and David for your efforts. The factory really should add this one to the boat...

When I got home today, the stern rail for our CD 25 was on the porch. It did not take me long to get it unwrapped and dry fit. I love it. It looks great; it fits great; the workmanship is great. I can't say enough about how satisfied we were doing business with David and everyone at...

By the way if you are a fan of the big breakfast at a classic old cafe, don't miss Ole's in downtown Alameda. They are an Alameda tradition that we were turned onto years too late. Greg

Pacific Coast Canvas in Alameda on Grand did a very nice job on our top. Greg

If you want to look at C-Dorys, the Outboard Motor Shop usually has the full line on the lot -- Rangers, too. They are located at the Oakland end of the Park Street bridge. Greg

Don, I pulled our new 25 the 1800+ miles back from Oakland to central Iowa last June with a Chev. half-ton shortbed, 2WD with 5.3 and auto. As others have said, we were OK on I-80 -- slow but patient and not a hazard. Pulling up to Tahoe was another story. Personally, I would describe it as...

For those who were interested, the Tufted Topper (tuftedtopper.com) arrived today -- a little less than two weeks after I mailed the pattern. Obviously, the service is as prompt as promised. The topper is excellent quality. The materials and the workmanship produce a topper that seems equal...

Hi Joe I found the mattress topper when I was searching for bedding options months ago, and my brain has not retained much of the other info I turned up. I do remember that I was focused mostly on a topper and that most sites for toppers or mattresses did not give a price. I was able to...

We stumbled on www.tuftedtopper.com and thought others might be interested. I just cut and mailed the pattern for it yesterday. We have high hopes for it and will post our opinion after we receive it. Greg

Jeff on C-Pearl: I got the cap off the strainer for the washdown pump -- more by luck than anything. The space under the step into the cabin where the strainer is located was a little tight for the strap wrench, but fumbling around with the wrench finally loosened it enough for me to get it...

I winterized the boat last week and wondered if I should be able to open the strainers for the cockpit washdown pump and the pump for the water system. Logic says I should. The appearance of a threaded cap says I should. But I can't. I'm twisting as hard as I dare at this point. Am I...

All of the sad news about the Keys isn't surprising, but it is certainly unwelcome as we set our sights on a winter trip there. I have a question or two after I reminisce for a moment, so bear with me. I spent two winters bumming/diving in the Keys after I graduated from college in 1970. I...

Jim Thanks for the great info on the Aire Super Lynx. Ironically, Lee at theboatpeople had given me enough info last spring to convince me this would be a great choice for us. We were going to drive over to his place in Danville to get one the last day of our trip to pick up the C-Dory, but...

Thanks, Jim. We like the truck a lot, and I, too, love the transmission. Greg
