I've probably read every message here and the former website and the C-Dogs site and have never heard any serious issues (and few very few minor) with Honda power. I'm not sure what propeller you had on the 7.5. Is there a "yacht" propeller for this critter? I could push my J/24 to hull...

The speed limit in the canal portions of the waterway is a whopping 10kmh, or 6.2mph! At these speeds it may be most economical to run a small kicker outboard rather than the main engine(s). Start here at Trenton and go "upstream" from there to the Kirkfield lift lock, after which you have to...

We're about 15 miles north of you, west a bit at 77 and 82. A mini 16 Cruiser, but a C-Dory nonetheless. I've yet to see another C-Dory period, so am looking forward to seeing one (finally!). I trailer over to West Branch for stuff like propeller testing and the like. Easy in and out and...

Can someone send me one? I've asked C-Dory for one several times and never get one. -- Chuck

The only C-Dory even close would be the yet un-shipped 25 foot Cat with the trawler cabin. The Motor Cat 30 looks incredible on their website. 25 knots on a pair of Honda 50s. About what we get with a single 50 on our 16 Cruiser! I've bookmarked their website for 2011 :roll: :wink: -- Chuck

Sandy -- What ya look at depends on where ya live. You in Seattle or the Bronx? You'll be unlikely to even see a C-Dory or Arima outside of the Northwest, I know I never have in Cleveland. I wanted classsic styling and the trawler lines of the 22 Cruiser first attracted me. I wanted a...

Few of the C-Dog ads have any dates on them and are on there forever. The few with dates are August and October 04. I can't believe the new 16 Angler is still there since August! -- Chuck

My lil 16 Cruiser is a babe magnet at the dock and at every fuel or rest stop on the highway -- don't overlook that aspect of the 16 footers. Not sure which part of KY you're in but there's a dealer in St Louis, one in Detroit, and Sister Bay (NE of Green Bay where I drove up and back 620 miles...

I thought we had the only C-Dory in Ohio! You're welcome to visit Amelia Anne, but she's in storage for at least 90 more days to keep out of the snow and ice. I bought the boat sight unsceen, I'd never seen a C-Dory for real up until about 15 minutes before I wrote the check at Door County...

As a wild guess I'd say $21,750 + tax + title ready to roll off the trailer. With a Johnson 50. 40 horsepower will be less expensive. (That price is a link. ;)) -- Chuck

Not read it, but I just placed an order for a new copy for $8.50 delivered via the Amazon "used book" link. -- Chuck

Trawler styling and reliable Honda outboard power were the first things which I saw in a Trailer Boats ad about 26 months ago. Coming from a sailboat background the Vee Berth was a literal "given" on any motor boat since I wanted the ability to sleep on board if we did any travelling. Berth...

I came into the C-Dory community wanting a 22 Cruiser but soon determined that the demands of private college tuition were going to place this boat out of reach for several years. And I had no real idea of the acceptance of a "stink boat" into a family wedded to sail for several generations...

There's a slot in the Vee Berth on our 16 Cruiser for the porta pottie, or to allow you to sit on the pottie. The pottie itself is not mounted but the brackets are with it so you can if you want. -- Chuck

Should there be washers under the Allen screws to help secure this all to the shaft? -- Chuck

With the single engine get the factory Swim Step rather than an over the side ladder. I consider this a required safety device as I can "self rescue" if I was to fall overboard -- assuming I wasn't even dumber and had the propeller turning! We spend more time swimming off Amelia Anne than...

We run gasoline stabilizer all year round. I don't see any reason to "double" the mixture at any time, though. Something I missed in the instructions? Full tanks are the best way all the time. After the season our tanks come off the boat and the gasoline is used, as needed, in the snowblower...

http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-5499725.html Verion .6 is certainly earlier than .11. Six is smaller than eleven. Another site I frequent was hit. They're now on version 11. -- Chuck

Like they say on the weather report wind chill feels like a lower temperature. -- Chuck

Thanks, I've seen photos of this seat before, just never realized it may fit in my lil cockpit. I've downloaded your two detail photos for winter long reference. -- Chuck
