    Tomcat 255 vs Skagit Orca 27XLC

    Thanks Grumpy. It really is hard to beat the Grady White ride in rough water. I think you're suggestion of back to back sea trials is a great suggestion. As a great loop boat stability at rest, not speed, is going to be a big consideration as well as fuel economy. The catamaran should certainly...

    Tomcat 255 vs Skagit Orca 27XLC

    Thanks Roger. Those are all great comments. Do you have any feel for the price differential between the two? I appreciate your offer for a ride if I ever get out to Seattle. I think I will probably have to come out to the factory sometime before I could adequately make a decision, but right now...

    Tomcat 255 vs Skagit Orca 27XLC

    Hello everybody, Can anyone tell me if Triton is still building the Skagit Orca 27 XLC? If so how would it compare in ride quality and price to a Tomcat 255. I realize I'm talking about monohull vs catamaran but the idea of one 300HP outboard (Skagit) as opposed to 2-150HP outboards (Tomcat)...

    C-Dory 29 Venture

    Thomas, Thanks for your great insight. I agree with you that it does share many of the same components as the Ranger Tugs which I do like. I am also impressed with the new line of Cutwater boats as well. Some day I am going to do the loop and I'm just not sure a C-Dory 25 has enough in the way...

    C-Dory 29 Venture

    I have been looking online @ a 2009 C-Dory 29 Venture that is a left over in a dealer's inventory. Can you all please educate me about this boat? How long was it built? Was it a popular model or a bit of a turkey? Is it as well made as the rest of the C-Dory family? Is it a Fluid Motion LLC...

    AC power on a C-Dory?

    Will, Thanks for the reply. My machine is a Respironics Bi-Pap. I would like to be able to power phone chargers and a laptop as well so that sounds like a great solution. I guess AGM batteries and LED anchor and running lights would help as well. Are C-Dorys still as good now that Triton Marine...

    AC power on a C-Dory?

    Marc, I looked on the machine and there is a plate that says 2.5 amps. The actual Bi-Pap machine sits on a humidifier plate that warms the water. The power cord goes into the humidifier plate and then there is a cord with an adaptor that runs to the actual Bi-Pap machine. Where would a battery...

    AC power on a C-Dory?

    Hey folks, Let me ask a question that you all may have solved. I have a sleep apnea machine that requires AC. Does C-Dory offer an inverter as an option? If not what do you all do to get AC power? I would like to avoid a generator if possible. Anybody use solar panels like Ranger Tugs and...

    Are C-Dorys still being produced?

    It's been a very tough economy and I was wondering if C-Dorys are still being built. I can't seem to find any inventory on the web and the Triton Marine website doesn't really address the issue. I thought his would be the best group to bring me up to date on the status of the boats and what the...

    Suggestion Box for C-Dory Factory

    When it comes to factory support and owner relations let me just mention one name, Grady White. I had owned Boston Whalers since 1987 and bought my first Grady White Tournament 225 in 2008. I have never been treated better by any dealer network or manufacturer in my life. Their customer service...

    Marine Insurance

    I just recently switched my 2008 Grady White Tournament 225 from Boat US to NBOA. It saved me ~$300 annually for the same coverage which turns out to be about half. I did a lot of research and everywhere I checked they came out okay. They practically own the Sea Ray market.

    Sea Sport Acquisition

    What's everyone's opinion of the acquisition by Sea Sport? Jeff Lindhout, President & GM of Sea Sport e-mailed me the other day that they have not as yet built any C-Dory or Skagit Orca boats. Do you all see them trying to replace C Dory models with SeaSport?

    Cleaning the none-skid surfaces

    It's the best cleaner I've ever used on a boat. It works great on vinyl surfaces too. Don't bother with the "marine" version. The regular works great. I think you can get it @ Lowes or Home Depot. It is also one of the best disinfectants available. It is both viracidal as well as bacteriacidal...
