Maybe the rules are different in Canada, but in the US the CFRs state that the boat is the stand-on vessel and the seaplane is the give-way vessel. That said, it is up to everyone to be aware of activity around them. Looking at the video, anyone not versed in the rules would be thinking the...

What a wonderful experience for both of you! The two of you will make memories that will last a lifetime! You are blessed that she wants to go and has parental permission. I have no doubt that you two will take care of each other. No Grandkids for us, so I will be following along with great...

To be somewhat delicate about it (and that is not my strong suit) - you are looking down into the tank when you flush... you will know when it is getting full. We have been RVing for over 30 years, and the SeaLand Marine/RV toilet in the later C-Dorys is easy to use, especially compared to a...

Glad you are home, safe. You made good progress since the fall. Keep up the work you've been doing to get to this point. Joan and I wish you and Patty all the best.

The ship lost power and issued a Mayday.

A 13 year "break" on this thread, but RBH brings interesting experience to the conversation. It would interesting to see your floor conversion on the 25.

I am in favor of Vitamin Sea - it is good for the soul. With care and planning, it can be safely accomplished. Don't trust someone with balance or mobility issues to be able to hold themselves up while boarding. With help (on each side) and NOT holding the person involved by their hands; give...

You're a good guy, Dr. Bob. Helpful and concise answer to the question. Thanks for being here, always willing to give guidance.

To be fair, Kevin: this site is about all things C-Dory... and that includes buying, selling, or trading C-Dorys. I see you are new here (5 months and 13 posts), so you may not have an understanding of everything that encompasses this site. It is privately owned by two of our members and they...

I bought a couple pieces of the wood with the white laminate from the factory when we bought our 25 in 2006. At that time, it was called Decraboard, and I haven't seen it anywhere since.

Rest in Peace, Bill; and condolences to El and family. This couple influenced many of us to pursue the C-Dory cruising lifestyle. It was the open writing style of their travels in their 22 that convinced us that retiring early was not only doable, but desirable. Bill was one of the first to...

Happy New Year to all the C-Brats! Nice that you and Patty could be back with the kids and grands for the holiday! Jim & Joan

Thanks, Bob & Marie, and warm Christmas wishes sent your way, and to all the C-Brats. And a joyous New Year! Jim & Joan

Welcome aboard, and Happy Birthday wishes to Charlie - today is his birthday!

Congrats on the new (additional) gig, Tom. You know your boat stuff and will be a valuable asset for Cabelas. I'd suggest you keep it light and keep it fun - when you make your living doing something that others do for the fun of it, it can change your perspective. This coming from someone...

When we first considered a C-Dory, I was pretty sure the 22 would be our choice; my wife wanted to see a 25 before committing. In 2006, C-Dory had a significant presence at the Seattle Boat Show, and we flew up there from Texas to see the entire line. After first walking through the 22, we...

One of my favorite quotes: Time flies when you don't know what you're doing. 8)

I would be one of those "boatless" C-Brats. I still look in most days, because this place has felt like "home" for nearly 2 decades for me. Our boatless days are our future: tomorrow, we do the final walk-through and get the keys for the new house in the desert. Our daughter has been lobbying...

Hey, EC Curious. If you want something like a C-Dory, I'd nicely suggest that you get yourself ready for a road trip to find a C-Dory. While the other boats that ssobol suggested are nice boats, they aren't a C-Dory. I tried to find a C-Dory in south Texas back in 2005 when we started...

Pretty sure the OP's question was tongue-in-cheek. Your throttle will have a tension adjustment screw, depending on the motor/model under the shroud around the throttle.
