I had a talk withg my folks before Christmas 2010 about this very thing. Not that I wanted to have to need it any time soon. Of course my dad, who was a finacial adviser and estate planner should have had everything in order, but didn't. Through 2011 when we talked he would update me on the...

I beleive there are hatches under the berth now, and has been for 3-4 years.

Nice boat Robbi!

And this, ladies and gentleman of the jury, is why it is so hard for dealers to order boats for stock. Every owner has their idea of what the "perfect" C-Dory is. And none of them are wrong. Don't get us started about single or twin- either outboards or trailer axles! :D

Hey Jim- I hope you didn't think I was being disparaging. I recognized that you wree just forwarding information, and I think it's good to hear the experiences of the guys working in the shops. Especially to hear what guys are seeing in different geographic regions. Keep in mind my questions...

Slick- Could you change the boats to a pin system so that wrenched aren't needed for the changeover? Something similar to the pins used on your truck hitch? The flat bottom of the C-Dory, with no strakes for rollers or bunks to use to center the boat is the culprit. Sometimes not putting the...

Can someone with a science background explain this to me? When the fuel or ethonal evaporates it escapes into the air. But fuel injected outboards have a sealed system from the Vapor tank to the injectors. So I don't beleive the ethanol can evaporate from inside the engine. And any residue in...

Mercury Marine is the only manufacturer taking the stance they are concerning ethanol. Mercury Marine is also the only manufacturer allowed to sell 2 star emmission level outboards in California. Related? I don't know. But based on what we see in our shop- Mercury has it wrong, and BoatUS is...

Andy was also working for Tanner in Bellingham. You might check there. If not, drop me a note, I might be able to find him.

The boat in Port Orchard was at the Yacht Club, in a boathouse and had sunk Sunday. Yesterday it was raised, and floating with no problems, when the owner stepped aboard with abilge pump and plugged it in. The spark exploded the fuel vapor in the air, sending 3-4 people to the hospital with...

Pat, those look incredibly robust. Much more so than the standard goal post style used on smaller boats. How far up into the PVC does the metal part of the upright go? I like the flat fender idea if you can keep them in place. The hull design that makes the C-Dory so efficient make sit so hard...

The bunks shouldn't come off, but the side load guides can get dmaged from heavy lateral forces if the boat hits them too hard. The holes the lag bolts go into become damaged, the lags fall out, board falls off. I have seem people through bolt these, but it makes putting the carpet hard to...

Beleive me- if there were as much demand for C-Dory's as we would all like there to be, there would still be two dealers in Washington State, and both would be stocking boats. Remember that until a few months ago there was no flooring available for the line, and that flooring money is hard to...

With carburated motor, paddle wheel sensor is the only option I'm aware of.

The Lehr 2.5 looks like the current generation Yamaha, and the 5 looks like the previous generation Yamaha 4/6 based on the units from the cowl down and the engine specs. If West Marine is handling them I doubt we would be interested- but I never say never. It would all depend on what dealer...

Saw a flier on this unit from one of the manufacturer's reps at the Seattle Boat Show. Interesting concept. The photos show engines that are Yamaha models with modified cowls. Internal modifications aren't specified, but the engine specs matched up with Yamaha products. Both models are shown...

Thanks- I was racking my brain an coming up blank! I'll blame it on boat show overload.

Guys- my brain is slipping after the boat show, and I connot remember the name of the canvas shop in Seattle that was doing the C-Dory enclosures and such when production was in Auburn. I've had two phone calls in the last few days about this, and I can't recall the company's name. Help?

From the tongue back electric over hydraulic brakes are identical to surge brakes. The only difference in the system is that instead of a master cylinder activated by a piston attached to the coupler the master is activated electrically by a controller in the cab. So no additional corrosion...
