Thanks for sharing. Looks like a fabulous trip.

Great info from everyone. Thanks. I have a lot to learn.

Joe.. yes I plan on getting out to the SBS for 08. Looking forward to exploring all the dorys and meeting members of the group.

Looking at pics here doesn't really give me true insight into cabin size. More presisely the amount of room for an overweight fella at the table. Or even behind the wheel for that matter. Are there any larger ( though i'm sure good lookin' and sexy) boaters out there who can let me know how...

I can see from my months of reading threads here that putting together the perfect Dory package is going to be a daunting task. I see a great idea one day and another very different idea the next. It's looking like I'll never get it right on the first go around and will be changing and adding to...

I really like the idea of an elec. trolling motor, since I was planning on adding a small quiet generator anyway. This is really looking like the way to go. It'll be interesting to see other replies over time. Thanks.

Hi bkcasa. I hit retirement age in 10 months. We'll sell this house then and we have our retirement home already bought on Vancouver Island. I'll buy my Dory sometime after the house sale. I'm looking forward to the SBS. Maybe see you and many others there.

OK. Sounds like I need to go. Thanks.

I see the Seattle boat show is on from Jan 24- Feb.2 2008. Is this event worthwhile attending? I was wondering if the C-Dory display is worth the drive out there? Any dealer sales at the show that could be tempting? It works best for me if I have lots of advance notice for booking time off work...

Sounds like a great trip. We just got back from a 7 day NCL cruise to Ketchican, Tracy Arm, Juneau and Skagway. Had a blast and the scenery is 2nd to none. Enjoy.

Thanks again for quick replies.

I was wondering how many out there boat or fish solo. I can see retirement will offer many opportunities to get out on my own. Can the 22' be off loaded and loaded on the trailer single handedly? Any solo horror stories out there that need to be shared? Thanks.

Thanks. Sounds like a 15 or 20 hp would be too much.

Ok... so, I think I'm of a mind to go with a single engine when I get a 22 C-Dory. I just like the idea of one prop, less steering gear. and better fuel economy. My next question is how big a kicker to use? I was thinking a 15 or 20 hp would get a fella to shore if the main quit. Is that too big...

Thanks for quick replies. I'll get in touch Ed, thanks. I'm in the city quite often.. all next weekend for the Grand prix, but I'll be pretty busy that weekend.

Hi folks. Just wanted to say a quick hi to the group and say thanks for all the info I've pulled from these pages in the last few months. I'm a 54 year old C-Dory newbie wannabe owner from Alberta Canada. I'm looking seriously at the 22 cruisers and I'm pretty sure that's my beast of choice...
