Told by my blonde: A plane late arriving, passengers missing connections, the next flight due to leave at any moment. As the other agents closed up and left at the end of the huge, frantic crush at the ticket counter, the very last passenger moaned and said to the very last agent, "Aw geez, all...

How To Clean Your Toilet: 1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl. 2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom. 3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to lean on...

Spring has sprung / Grass has riz / Where last year's / Careless driver iz / Burma Shave You predate me only with the hand-cranked gas pumps, though I have driven a Model T, but (and this will hurt), remember gasoline PRICE WARS? In Detroit 18 cents for a week or so, down from 29. For what...

What about this thread am I missing? Here are C-D22 listings from our for sale column that are near, in, or under that budget: C-Dorys For Sale 2002 22 Cruiser, $34,000 (St. Augustine, FL) 2000 22 Cruiser, $37,000 (Bremerton, WA) 1999 22 Cruiser, $33,500 (Naples, FL) 1987 22'...

None of the above. Boathouse and sling made for a bass boat, just big enough for a 16. For bird and lizard, uh, byproducts, an occasional touch with a low-power pressure washer.

My concern is that this is his first message, the very day he joined, with no boat, in MA, touting FL data. Not "Newbie" or "How many motors would I run on a C-Dory?" or such, not a crime, but iffy.

Withdrawn.

As usual, many varied, interesing, useful, even funny responses. As always, my hat's off to you all / y'all. It seems 5-8 HP would be ample, and I noticed the 9.9 Mercury (the same nearby dealer) is the same engine, with remote, electric start, etc, and that should allow enough margin for...

I asked for offers on my 16 because I never use it. It dawned on me that I never use it because of that honking great 50 HP Merc towering over the transom. I'm a sailor, slow and quiet, looking into the shoreline woods and have no use for bellowing and banging along with the spray flying. Some...

It is virtually brand new, which is why no electronic doo-dads and no photo (it looks just like any other new C-Dory 16 Cruiser with green trim), but I never use it.

Near mint, green trim, 2006 Merc 50, 1 1/2 hours, hydrofoil, swim step, bow lift ring, 2 12-gal. portables, fuel filter, 2006 oversize aluminum trailer. Over $28k invested, make offer FOB DeLand. Dealers invited.

Yep, time is a factor on PB Blaster (or Catalyst; mine is the old style can), and I suspected repetition is too, as you confirmed. The light was such that when I used the stuff the first time, I could actually watch it being drawn into into the threads, so gave it a tad more, but never knew if...

W-D 40 is good, Liquid Wrench is better, and the best I know of is PB Penetrating Catalyst. A friend who worked in one of those quickie auto parts store gave me a can from their stock. I've fooled with old cars most of my life but recently had one nut on a stud so bad I nearly twisted it off...

My neighbor says my C-D must be owned by the bank, as all the birds are making deposits! If there was a topic about this I can't find it: what have you done to discourage birds pooping on your poop deck --that worked --that didn't reqire a bank loan? If you'll note my nickname you'll see why I...

One of the many claims made for gool old WD-40 is that it stops windshield fogging. It will be many months before I can test that in Florida but folx up Alaska way may want to.

More feedback, this about the prop. It turns out mine is what Mercury recommends for their 50hp 4-stroke, and what was on the C-D site was for a Honda 40. Anyway, it also tops out at 5400-5500. I consider getting a plastic prop, both because I expect to wind up using it for a depth gauge and...

What a kick to find so many responses already. I should add and clarify: Pat, my emails were to Jeff, alas the last one a little testy, but then I didn't know he was away. Perhaps someone filling in for him.... The boat went on plane OK, but with my passenger in the cockpit, the bow came too...

Taking note of the C-Dory already named Meander, I changed the name of my 16 Cruiser to Rover, which a search showed is not taken. We are at last powered, afloat, and pretty well sorted. This note touches on topics from many forums. I gave up rewriting it to not sound negative, but the positives...

The engine box built by the guy C-weed mentions seems an elegant solution, especially since just holding a throw cusion in front of the motor cut the noise in half. The 16 Cruiser has a ledge right in front of the motor that would make a good mount for such a box or even just a swing-down board...
