    Looking at a 25' C-dory: Advice please

    Has stayed on. No lifting edges. I forget what size I ordered. Measure it and go from there. It can be cut down with a sharp razor knife. I went from just below the bow eye to where the smooth bow ends under the boat, just prior to the “keel”.

    Looking at a 25' C-dory: Advice please

    Check the brass bow/keel strip. With salt water under the berth, it’s possible that a screw or screws pierced the fiberglass. Known issue in the past. I removed ours, plugged the screw holes with West Systems and installed a Keel-Guard adhesive one after another owner returned to their boat...

    Solar panel on 2 batteries vs one panel for each battery

    Dr Bob is correct as usual. I installed a mini Add-A-Battery in our 2006 and removed the original battery switch. A couple of years ago, I added a simple solar system; 110 watt semi flex panel with 30 amp PWM controller. Controller is attached to the house battery but once it tops out, the...

    boiling water

    FYI check Costco business. They used to sell a stainless one burner butane stove for $25. Perfect for what you need. I’m sure Bezos’ company will have them too. It’s what we use and as Patti noted, we more “steam” them vs actually boiling.

    Honda 135 outboard on a 25'

    Galley Storage Ideas

That way when at anchor or dock we can flip it up and have more “counter space”. I use a small nylon strap with a snap on our window frame to stop it from...

    Self bailing - important?

    Perfectly understandable. Best of luck to you.

    Self bailing - important?

    With the 25 you get WAY MORE than just a self bailing cockpit.

    Plastic storage totes currently. Think milk crates. Not perfect but they work and you can pull them out sorta like drawers. Larger ones below.
