Sorry for the late sign-up. Finally got the calendar cleared so we can attend. We were at last year's gathering, but only for the event in Oak Canyon before we took off on our own. We've been to Lake Powell several times over the years and wanted to visit some of our favorite places on our...

I've signed up for the Lake Powell trip, but we should be classified as 'tentative'. Our granddaughter is in the hospital and, depending, on how things develop, we may or may not be able to make the trip. I hope we can make it as it has been a few years since we've been to Powell. There was...

Looks like we won't be able to make the Bellingham gathering. Our daughter is in the hospital with premature contractions. The baby isn't due for another 2 months. We need to stay close to home so that we can help out. Family is most important. A cruise in the San Juan Islands is still on...

Cruising the San Juan Islands is on my 'bucket list'. So, despite the 1600 mile distance from Phoenix, Diane and I intend to trailer our C-Dory 22 C-View to Bellingham, attend the gathering and spend some time cruising the islands. We've been to the Pacific Northwest with a motorhome, but this...

My solution to the big step in getting in and out of the cockpit. Added a second step attached to tray below gunwale and supported by two vertical members. Wood is purpleheart which is one third price of teak and weathers to look like teak.

New table top - Purpleheart, Mahogany, Maple, Cherry, Oak. Solves 3 issues: 1. Couldn't put old table in or out of berth position without moving seat cushion. New table narrower. 2. Seat and back cushions use same foam thickness, but seats have 3/4" plywood bottom. In berth position, table...

Drawers on full extension, soft close slides.

Two new drawers. Mahogany fronts. Pico chair (folding chair in a bag) stowed underneath.

12 volt trailer mover in action. After entering RV garage, need to make sharp turn to right so motorhome can also fit.

Trailer mover built from plans obtained on Ebay. Based on modified winch normally used on all terrain vehicles. Chain drive.

rcwass - Sorry for the delay in responding. I couldn't convince myself that any of the gaskets on the American Marine site were the correct one. If you get samples and determine that one is correct, please let us know. As I stated in my earlier post, my gaskets looked pretty grungy, but I was...

I faced a similar problem on my 1990 C-Dory, C-View. The gaskets were unsightly and had pulled out of some of the corners. I removed the gaskets - you can just pull them out. The glass is held in place with adhesive/sealant on the inside. The only method I could come up with to clean them...

I replaced the blades on my 1990 C-Dory 22' Cruiser just this morning. I have the manual operation wipers. I found Trico 47-800 Break-To-Fit Wiper Blade Refills at Checker Auto. They are 8 mm. Cost was just under $9.00. I have enough rubber left over to replace them another time. Tony

Tad, Thanks for the info on your fuel tank problems. I believe my tanks are a newer model than yours. They are translucent and thus a fuel guage is not required. When I refilled the tanks I put marks at 5 gallon intervals. The puzzling thing is that I couldn't see anything wrong with the...

I purchased a used 1990 C-Dory 22' Cruiser in August, 2008. The boat was in usable condition, but needed some work to bring it up to my standards. I'm writing this article as, perhaps, it will give guidance to others who might be contemplating a similar project. I'm recently retired so I've...

I could have purchased a swim platform made from 'frozen snot' (fiberglass), but decided to build one using teak.

I have a bow anchor with windlass on C-View which is a 22' Cruiser. I want to carry a second anchor and rode in case I want to deploy one off the stern. I'm thinking about storing it under the floorboards underneath the table, but I'm wondering if other C-Brats have an alternative solution. I...
