Seeker, I did price the CD25 and found it to be comparably priced to the 22' Orca and therefore about 30% less less than 24' Orca or Seasport. I am not including taxes (a hefty 9% in WA state), electronics, or other rigging in this comparison. Is that how folks are getting to $115k for a CD25...

Two things: First thing: Seems like we are talking about a HUGE range of prices here, from old Cape Cruisers to brand-new Skagit Orcas. AFineRide, if you've got $120k for a boat (and you certainly don't need to tell us), then why are we even talking about C-Dory's? From the helm of your 27'...

Beached at Point Defiance

SeaDNA - I couldn't help but think of you this Saturday when we pulled up next to a big bubble Bayliner...You're right, it would make a great anchor! Thataway - Upon re-examining the anchor, it is indeed a Danforth but it is an "8S" for eight standard, not 8.5 as I misread it through all of...

If you don't mind ordering out of state, try Dave at King Marine in Seattle. King Marine supplies quite a bit of canvas for C-Dory's and has patterns for all of the boats in their shop. Dave's number is 206-271-2294. Just brace yourself for the cost of a custom cover versus a mass market cover...

Saturday, we overnighted at Jarrell's Cove Marina on Harstene Island and spotted a grey 22' Cruiser at the state park. Sunday morning, we motored over and introduced ourselves to the crew of the C-Sick. Interestingly, we saw C-Sick on its trailer leaving the Des Moines Marina just as we were...

Yesterday afternoon around 2pm, while on I-405 Southbound around Renton, I saw DAYDREAM headed North by trailer. A few minutes later, I saw a whole big rig full of shrink-wrapped Sea Rays headed Southbound, looking very bling-blingy and un-original. Wouldn't trade the Jenny G. for 'em all...

Our new (to us) '98 22' Cruiser came with an 8.5# Danforth fluke anchor that I suspect is little more than a "lunch hook" but it holds great in the sandy, shallow bottoms I've found along the South Sound. Knowing that we'll want to anchor overnight in shallow, protected areas throughout the...

SeaWolf, I think that the consensus was to go for the 90hp Suzuki (meaning more hp is better and fuel injection is better) but this ol' gal has a carbureted Honda 75hp with an 8hp kicker. For the SUBSTANTIAL discount we got relative to the new price, I think I can live with the tilty-thing...

I noticed that several of you who commented on my 75 vs. 90 hp. for 22' thread are in this group....We've got some big news for you: We bought at 1998 22' Cruiser last weekend!!!! Had thought we'd have to buy new but found a well-cared-for 'Dory that had been under cover at the Des Moines Marina...

Wow! Thanks everybody for your comments. It is fun to join a site, post a question, and have 8 replies the next morning! So, here's my second question: Do I care that the Honda's aren't fuel-injected (at this horsepower range)? All things being equal, I'd rather have "standard" automotive...

My wife and I are considering the 22 Cruiser but I don't know whether to go with a single 70~75hp or 90hp engine (I'm not that interested in twins). We value ride comfort so I don't want to the boat to be overpowered relative to a "good" cruising speed (i.e., minimal hull pounding) and have...
