Another consideration will be how & where you may be using your boat. Think about the future, these things last forever. I liked the idea of twin 40's or 45's when I purchased my C-Dory, but my dad is 71 years old and likes to fish the state parks in PA. I like to keep dad happy. Some PA state...

Tyboo? I can resist no longer... What is the best prop for my CD-22 with a Honda 90? It has a blue stripe (the boat, not the Honda). It has power tilt (the Honda, not the boat). If you can answer that I will contact you about my yellow car. It don't run anymore. You coming to NC next...

Snal ~ Spoke to a C-Dory owner from Oriental, NC a while back on the phone (don't remember his name). He told me he & his wife spent several days on the Neuse River last December. Said he had his Wallas turned up and they were warm and happy in the cabin. Also said they didn't see another...

Terry ~ I agree with Nick, but then again I usually do. Met him in Langford Bay in '06. Good guy with a beautiful C-Dory. Now just head down to your bank and getcha a handful of money. Better still get two handfulls, one for the boat and one for accessories. Then buy a C-Dory and create an...

Congratulations on your new vessel! I admire you for your choice of boats!

Another thought, while I confess the previous posts are much more informative. I bought a new Sony Cybershot 7.2 last year. I like the picture quality & have nothing against the camera, but I do not take many photos because the thing is too BIG to carry around all day. I find myself letting it...

Now that's interesting Tracy! A prize for the farthest travelled? Hmmm... I will be trailering C-Gypsy 475 miles each way. Some of the Maryland boys may match that. Hmmm... Does it count if I leave PA and head NORTH for 2 hours? I could probably make the trip 700 miles long if I do that...

Tracy? You may have already posted it but I am too lazy to go back & read all the emails. What is the agenda for the gathering? Is something planned for Friday & Saturday evening, and if so what is it? Do you have any breakfast plans for the gathering? Any local cruises? I will be arriving in...

I believe price is relevant to the area, and options have to be considered closely. I have well over $50,000.00 in my C-Dory, but it is loaded. On top of that I wanted a dual axle trailer. Pennsylvania law requires a brake on every axle, so that too added to the price. I also have a...

Oriental Marina has no covered slips. For an idea of what it looks like go to http://towndock.net/harborcam.shtml and take a look. The boats on the left side are in slips at Oriental Marina. I believe they have about a dozen slips in all. I can not say enough good things about that place &...

C-Gypsy was purchased with a Honda 90 and a Honda 9.9 kicker. I wanted to be able to use her in the state parks in Pennsylvania. Some have a 10 horsepower limit. I have never regretted my decision. The 90 has enough performance to make me smile. The 9.9 allows me to fish in the state parks, and...

Waiting to be launched!

ONE room in Oriental Motel has a window view to the marina. I think it is #16. Handy when you are cold & need to get warmed up without missing any of the action!

Spirit of Christmas weekend!

Jim B. ~ If I may jump in here I will say that Oriental is just as wonderful as everyone says it is. It is a very small village where everyone knows everyone and nobody is in a hurry. There is no Walmart, no mall, no McBurger joints. I have taken friends to Oriental and their comment is always...

Normal or not, you're quite a craftsman Mike. I admire you for your skills!

Just a thought... I had my windshield cover made to attach to the OUTSIDE of the front windows. Had a pilothouse sailboat sometime back that had the same type of covers & I liked it. One major advantage is no dead bugs on the front windows after trailering the boat 500 miles. Again, just a...

Mike, Ingenious ideas & beautiful work! I could learn a lot from you, but C-Gypsy would still not look as good as your boat. You're not really like a normal person, are you Mike? haha... Al

For me it was the pilot house. I used to sail a Nimble Arctic pilothouse sailboat & loved being able to get out of the elements while still sailing. I also like simple systems (plumbing, electrical, etc.), and a clean open cockpit. I still sail my Nor'Sea 27. I fell in love with Nor'Sea 27's...

Yes, it would be a simple matter to configure an "auto-reply" to send a "thank-you" to everyone who sent their contact information.
