    prop recommendation for 16' Cruiser with Suzuki 50

    Read the original prop's data [pitch and diameter]. Thats your starting point . Thats a particularly high revving motor . 6500 RPM redline . 6000 or better for best performance and longevity. Marc

    Looking to buy new cdory

    Northwest will run it through a dealer, they do not sell direct . We sell boats all over the country and deal with warranty through local service companies all the time. We also think a blank boat that's rigged [motored] locally is not a bad idea , as then your motor dealer has a vested...

    Purchase from boats.net?

    Tom , I would be happy to discuss motors with you anytime . Seems like with the added buoyancy,planing surface, and length it would push easily with a 115, but also have more capability to hang a larger motor like the 150. Interesting project ! Marc

    Purchase from boats.net?

    Expect to get taken to the cleaners for the installation and get a cold service shoulder as well . Unless you have a friend thats a Yamaha dealer . That undermines the dealer network/service concept and is definitely "bending" if not breaking Yamaha's dealer agreement . We can usually match...

    Selling a C-Dory Regionally vs. Locally: Differences

    Every deal is different . A survey is a good idea so a buyer can have a level of confidence in what they are purchasing . We have been doing this long enough that hopefully a buyer and seller are confident we will do everything to make all parties happy . Communication is key . Some folks...

    I want to sell my 2013 16 Cruiser

    Thanks for the kind words ! We get calls on 16s every month or two and the first thing I have to tell folks is new ones are really not being built and the cost is astronomical for a 16 footer . The labor to make one is akin to the labor to build a 22 . With that said there are not many 16s on...

    ARE 200 hp Suzukis too much for the 255 Tomcat?

    My .02 cents is 200s would be cool , but the 175s will be perfect .The performance difference is astounding between these and the Hondas. We CAN do 200s on a Tomcat as long as they are 4 cylinder according to Ron and Greg at NWMI. One thing that's really nice on a Tomcat is electronic shift and...

    Vibro vulnificus

    Bob , actually between the Dept of Agriculture and University of Florida they check the bacteria in the water once or twice a day ! Healthy people are not a much risk at all eating raw oysters. Its the folks with existing health issues that make the news . Marc

    Yamaha 90 stalling - 89 vs 87 Octane

    Additionally to previous suggestions ,check the fuel pickups in the tanks as well. The tanks warp over time and we have seen them go to the bottom of the tank and get clogged or press against the bottom.Should be cut diagonally . Also inspect inside of fuel lines to rule out liner failure . Marc
