Nick~ I noticed last night you were posting a reply to MIDWEST GATHERING.... just like fishing, I'm giving it a little more time for more bites!! Bruce (therevdr on DRIFTWOOD DREI)

The technical talk was great (and helpful)...but besides just liking the fishy pictures, I set my Lowrance GPS/DEPTH and FISH FINDER on the "song" setting. With different sized echoes producing different songs (bigger echoes - lower tunes), one can get a symphony if there are a lot of fish (or...

"Maybe the CD fleet might be interested in an informal gathering/ rendezvous somewhere" was a line from a posting back when the water was hard and there were a few other "small talk" postings about MIDWESTERN CDs. Is anyone out there (since I was out of it for a while)?!? Are the Ohio CDs...

REVISITING THE TRIM SENSOR ISSUE (since NOT FOR HIRE mentioned it as he described his fabulous Northern Lake Michigan trip)....my starboard trim sensor went out a couple of weeks ago. From the wiring diagram in the owners' manual, indications are that its either the light green or light blue...

In the land where the C-Dory is not common . . . Lake St. Clair (Michigan) . . . "Mack" was in the Boat Crew training class (U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary) that I helping with; I wasn't listening to him, as I talked with my son, until I thought I heard "Dory". Then, as we briefly introduced...

Nick, I can't promise anything definite . . . but I'd attempt to make it a four-boat gathering!! Bruce therevdr

There was email talk on the C-DORY OWNERS' website about a "Midwest Gathering" . . . maybe that planning will shift over to the C-BRATS' site??! Bruce therevdr

Mac (on Two Lucky Fish . . . From my experience it really doesn't matter what is used to back cleats, if you tow another boat that is too heavy or tow in conditions that increase the force exerted on the cleats (do the "Tow Worksheet"), you will have problems. Since no one seems to sell cleat...

My coverage is presently with BOATUS because their "U.S. COAST GUARD AUXILIARY" coverage is potentially advantageous as my boat is being towed on USCGA-covered missions. I have not had PROGRESSIVE with my new (purchased in 2002 C-DORY) boat...however, when I owned an older boat (and had...

The replies to my posting of "NO C-DORYs at DETROIT BOAT SHOW" are a fulfillment of my unconsciousness (-or- semi-consciousness) attempt to pose the question : What's going on with C-DORY sales in Michigan?? I have shared in Randy's and Nick's convictions that "if people see them, they will...

The Valkyrie's skipper is correct about the Michigan dealer's relative lack of interest in selling C-DORYs. When I got serious about buying in 2002, "Chuck" from Ohio (on one of the C-DORY websites) suggested that I go up to Door County, Wisconsin, because that dealer was committed enough to...

I'm always happy to give a dealer a chance to make a pitch . . . I think!!? It is, at least, good to know that some dealers are ready to really sell C-DORYs (or is it "DORIES"??) in the Midwest. I ended up travelling to Door County, Wisconsin (no longer a C-DORY dealer) to buy my boat. Good luck...

The C-DORY dealer (the only one in Michigan) at the Detroit Boat Show decided not to bring a C-DORY this year!!? I first saw the C-DORY at the show some six years ago; my son and I decided that it was the boat that would be ideal for the Great Lakes. After DRIFTWOOD DREI (a 22-foot cruiser)...

I just discovered this topic....it seemed interesting enough to keep it going! 22' CRUISER....TWIN 40 HP HONDAS.....(at optimum conditions - no waves or wake) 31.4 MPH at about 5100 RPM and engines trimmed up!! The go-fast boats on Lake St. Clair (Michigan) fly by, but I won't want to go any...

I've now found the REDFOX links/archives and other discussions both at C-DORY OWNERS and C-BRATS (I don't know why I couldn't put a cursor on those forums before!!??) . . . as with most any topic that is discussed, the information and ideas are tremendous!!! Thanks, therevdr

Thanks for the replies so far . . . It was probably the RED FOX posting that I saw a few years back. Exactly what I would store in those potential forward storage areas is up in the air; the amount of weight that would be workable would be a key consideration (although, when traveling through...

It is a subject I've seen touched on before (in some C-DORY website)....CAN THE V-BERTH "BULKHEAD" (that area under the cushions) AREAS BE OPENED UP FOR STORAGE? From experience with a crack at the step from the cabin into the v-berth, I know that the "dead-air-space between the two...

WHAT'S A 2004 25' C-DORY CRUISER WORTH?? As listed on the other C-DORY OWNERS' SITE, there is a 25' C-DORY for sale in Maine (for $68,800). After fruitlessly attempting to find pricing ranges for new or used 25' C-Dorys, I'll take the plunge and simply ask ~ what's a reasonable price on a...
