Make sure your engine is "propped" right for the elevation at Lake Powell. If not, you might be in for a surprise and not a pleasant one. Our 150 Honda was propped for sea level and the maximum speed I could attain was 8 mph. I was advised to go to a lower pitched prop. and my speed increased...

Many thanks for the fine photos and comments. Does anyone know what the selling price for the Sea Sport C Dory is (fully equipped with engine and trailer? Ken aka: wood duck

Personally, a "common dock" is not important. It's the great CBRAT activities that surround our gatherings that are important to us. I like the idea of the art festival gathering, but how would that fit in with the Bellingham gathering? Ken

Hi Warren, When is the Anacortes art festival scheduled for? thanks, Ken

Many thanks for your response. We'll look forward to the gathering. Ken

Hi CBRATS, We are attempting to plan our schedule for next year and the first important event for us will be the Friday Harbor and possibly Anacortes "gathering. Any idea on the date for the Friday Harbor gathering??? Many thanks. Ken aka: wood duck Added to Calendar Signup list created -TyBoo

Greetings & welcome, I attempted to tow our 25' cruiser with a GMC 1/2 ton pickup. The engine was the v-8...5.3 liter. My experience was not favorable. It was like the tail wagging the dog and I should mention we live in the northwest where the terrain has its ups and downs. We didn't feel...

Mike, I am "chilled out". I just don't think it is appropriate to engage in name calling on this excellent C Dory web site. Keep the threads on the high ground and eliminate otherwise stupid comments when referring to others. Ken

I think it is improper and disrespectful referring to others as "cheap weenies" for merely expressing their opinions. Ken aka: wood duck

Greetings and thanks for opportunity to express an opinion. I would not bother with the embroidered upholstery, but I do like the idea of the wood steering wheel hub. They have a simple elegance and could be laser engraved with "C Dory by Sea Sport" or just "C Dory". Best wishes for your...

Greetings, Seems like some folks are trying to brow beat the fine management of Sea Sport into honoring warranties on boats they didn't build. Not honoring warranties on boats they didn't build seems very logical to me. Sea Sport has been manufacturing fine boats for decades and they will build...

Greetings CBRATS, Recently, I posted the question about potable water availability on Lake Powell. The answers were that Lake Powell water is potable after filtration. Here is another question, what type of filter(s) are suggested/recommended by those on the know? I understand potable water...

Jack, Too late for the C Dory, but I'll check this out for our travel trailer....thanks very much and good luck fishing. Ken

Greetings, I remember Roger who owns Dreamer describing the C Dorys as "quirky" boats and that they are. We have owned a 22' C Dory cruiser and have enjoyed our 25' cruiser for the past 5 years....I can almost dock it without a big incident. Anyway, we'll enjoy our boat even more now with the...

Hi Warren, In our 25' Cruiser the tank is easily emptied via a discharge valve located on the lower left side of the tank. It is very conspicuous. I don't know where the tank is located on your Cat, so I can't help. I understand it may be difficult to empty the tank in your boat. Sorry...

Greetings CBRATS, Thanks for your input & responses. We rarely use our hot water tank to heat water, but it has water in it most of the time. I am told by others including the manufacturer, Seaward products that it is very important to empty the tank when not in use, otherwise corrosion will...

The cabin in our 2004 25' C Dory cruiser was accumulating water from an unknown source and it was driving me crazier. I put double clamps on all of the hoses and that did not resolve the problem. I removed the water tank and discovered the insulation was all wet. I filled the water tank with...

We are planning to attend the CBRAT gathering at Lake Powell for the first time. Please comment about the availability of potable water...where is potable water available and is there a charge for the water? Parking for truck & boat trailer???? Please comment on this issue, too and describe...

We, Ken & Lynn (aka: wood duck) are planning for the Lake Powell trip this year...at last! My question is, should or should I not purchase a generator? We have a 25' C Dory cruiser powered by a 150 hp Honda. We don't have air conditioning and will use our propane stove for cooking, but...

Just had my tandem axles aligned due to uneven tire wear. The cost was $225.00 for the alignment and it was necessary. The trailer/boat (C Dory Cruiser-25') were new in 2004 and we haven't put an extraordinary amount of miles on the trailer, but the tires were wearing unevenly, hence the...
