Boris, I sent you a PM regarding the photos. Jerry

Boris- Our autopilot is an 8001 series which should be similar to yours except for a larger display. The installation on ours was done by EQ Marine, so I have little help to offer other than pictures that show the pump mount, compass sensor location, and slave unit installation. I will email...

We are pleased :D to let everyone know that our C-Dory 25 (Scooter) has been sold (done deal). The new owners are Ernie and Rose Mathes, C-Brat members (C-Time) from Gig Harbor, Washington. They have two beautiful children, substantial sailing experience (new converts to the powerboat scene)...

El and Bill - Thank you for your kind thoughts. We will definitely continue to read and maybe even comment on the many and varied posts on this site. Helen will recover (we are committed to this goal) but it will take some time and that is the reason that we were forced to sell Scooter. Now...

2004 25 CRUISER (SCOOTER) $68,000 Scooter is a 25 C-Dory cruiser with many one-of-a-kind custom features. She has been lovingly maintained and upgraded by her original owners and shows as new. Factory Color and Upgrades· Nomad hull accent color with Taupe interior · 50” by 29” by 12”...

Thank you for your help! Scooter is a pending sale as of 10/22. We will post the new owners names (they're Brats but found the boat through Boat Trader) as soon as the sale is complete. The new owners live in Washington and will be able to attend functions that we were unable to participate in.

Thanks to Mike and Bill for their devotion to making this site the big hit that it is. :)

Helen and I disagree on this one and since she is "close-at-hand" at present, I have to say that the shower and head are nice additions ( I really think that Mike has the right idea).

I don't know about snow load capabilities, but this past summer we had six people on our 25 for a BBQ (4 on the deck and 2 in the cabin). I too was curious about the scuppers and how much weight the back deck might hold before scuppers would start to submerge. We placed all six people on the...

The new generation Danfoss compressors require very little current draw. We opted for a Tundra unit which I installed this past winter $585 total cost including Refrigerator, cable, fuse block, switch, and vent covers (installation details are in our photo album under winter projects). In...

Jim and Laurie, Sorry for the delay in answering your post on this topic. Yes, Pat is correct the 9902 is the ProPulse that fits the 135, 150, and the 225. $152 is a great price. The proper setting will probably be between 15 and 17 depending on load (weight in the boat) and elevation (high...

Surprisingly, more boats sink from defective leaking through-hull fittings than from the wave over the stern swamping. Several years ago, we watched the "Dusty Rose", a 27 ft. diesel powered Sea Sport, swamp and sink in relatively calm waters 36 miles West of Newport. The skipper and crew were...

I agree that the balance of weight in the CD-25 is forward by design and that is my point. Why would anyone want to make it a stern heavy boat! The original 22's were designed for 70 hp two-cycle engines. I powered our 1993 22 Cruiser with a 90 hp Tohatsu to keep weight light in the stern...

Larry, You're right in that if you are running in mainly smooth waters, the 25's hull might make 25-30 mph with some degree of comfort. My point was that a following sea will have more opportunity to shove a stern to the side and broach the boat (with a V-6 on the stern). I forget that many...

Larry, Thanks again for all of the help and good advice that you offered us when we were purchasing our 25. On the topic of engines, we have to keep reminding ourselves that these are Dorys (not a fast hull). The problem that I would have with adding a V-6 engine to the stern is that it...

Just a note of caution, Powerboat Reports July issue posted an article on a E-Tec powerhead replacement needed on one of their test engines (90hp) after only 100 hours. The engine didn't fail but developed a "rattling noise at idle". They will update the cause in a future issue.

Joe, The prop is a four blade hub set at 16 pitch for now. Our boat is usually full of gas and water, a large cat litter box, plus gear for fishing halibut, Bottom fish, Salmon. My wife has loaded every square inch of available space (not occupied by my fishing gear) with deck chairs,BBQ...

We were using a Solas at first with poor performance and worse economy; switched to a ProPulse adjustable (15-21 pitch) prop with excellent results. The settings are easy to change and the prop seems durable, at least in open ocean running. We purchased ours though EQ Marine but West Marine...

We were told that the plastic tanks had venting problems only (inadequate vent diameter) so the factory switched to a new design aluminum tank (107 gal.). Our boat was one of the first to get the new tank design. We've experienced no fill problems (you can fill it as fast as the pump can...

Quick tip #1 when working with 3M 5200, have several paper towels and a can of WD-40. Works great for cleaning exess stuff from around the sealed area and from your hands as well. Just be careful not to get it under the seal or you wont have a seal, WD-40 dissolves uncured 5200 with ease. :D
