Have a friend in the area that will go check it out tomorrow, and report his findings.

Just talked to the guy. Boat was a research vessel, got tied up wrong at the dock and sank in 6' of saltwater. Honda was running at the time and ingested salt water. Ran afterwards, now has no spark. Listed it as hull and trailer since the engine appears shot. I wonder what damage the hull got...

Any idea what the value would be on a 22 cruiser hull and trailer should be? I found one that has a blown honda 90 (no value there). Seller is asking $5k. It's a 1999 model on a dual axle trailer.

Thank goodness! I've tried several times, and failed, to talk the wife into flying west to have a look at it. Man that boat was calling my name!

LOL...found it during my daily C Dory classifieds search. They even state that the manufacturer was C Dory. :roll:

This is interesting...but is it really a C Dory? http://www.boattrader.com/listing/1988- ... -103226915

Both the wife and I have modest IRA's, and I have a healthy 401k. I'd REALLY like to retire at 62 (4 years away), so I've looked at the difference in SS draws at 62 VS 65. If I wait till 65 to draw...it'll take me 15 years to make up for what I could have collected since age 62. I'm fortunate in...

Looks like a great deal if you're in the market for a smaller C Dory....with only 250 hours on the engine! https://wilmington.craigslist.org/boa/d ... 17718.html

If I could figure out how to go back in time...I would! :lol:

Thanks Bob....that's exactly the kind of info that I'm looking for. I didn't know about the "cruise ship" versions.

We are currently researching the market in preparation for the purchase of our next boat. Does anyone know the first year of the 25' version? I've noticed that most of the 25's on the market are in the 06/07 model range. Just wondering if there's a reason for that. I'd really like to comprise a...

Wow! Really clean boat! Wish you were on the east coast!

I've been looking for any info on our old angler "Thelma Lou" on here to no avail. I know she went to Canada, but the buyer found it on here as that's the only place we had it listed. Curious to see her travels.

Yep!...and as a fixer-upper (I assume it was) it would have allowed me to buy now and have it cruise ready by the time I retire.

Well, finally got a return email...dagnabit! It sold last week for $20K!!!

I've called (no answer), emailed, and messaged through their FB page, but still no reply. Trying to find out what the price is! https://tampa.craigslist.org/psc/bod/d/ ... 53963.html

Greetings all! We sold our beloved "Thelma-Lou" several years ago, and I haven't posted much since, but have checked this forum from time to time. I have the URGE to get another big boat, so I'm back to get myself up to date on current info. Glad to be back! (almost)

Email sent...this may be right down my alley!

Thelma Lou has been sold!

It's all over but the crying now. The potential new owners arrived this morning from Quebec (1500 miles!). I should have had video rolling as this good ol' redneck WNC boy tried to communicate with 2 French Canadians...one of which spoke no English at all. They are were very pleased with...
