I have read this thread 2 times but I still have a question or 2 that maybe you all can help me with. I have a new CD 22 and I am in process of adding a "house" battery. I found with 4 foot cables I can put one down where the bilge pump is and reach the other battery and switch. I have the...

Thank you all for the input. I think I will run the boat and shift the weight of the battery around and see if its a trim problem. I would prefer to keep the port side box available for a live well. The boat has trim tabs, and from what I am gather all the weight in the back of the boat is...

My new C-Dory 22 has only one battery in the starboard stern compartment. The service manager where I bought the boat thinks putting another battery in the same compartment may throw the boat out of balance with all that weight on one side. What do you guys think? I could put the battery...

I may be getting a little ahead of myself because I dont even have the boat yet, but so what. What is a good dinghy for throwing on the roof? Is anyone using the Walker Bay? You could even put the sail kit on it for your sailing fix.

There is also 3 cabins available to rent at the park. They are 2 bedroom with fireplace, full kitchen, heat and air, about 1500 square feet for about $100 bucks a night. http://www.gastateparks.org/net/go/park ... &s=0.0.1.5 Check it out and come see us!

Its pretty slim pickings. Especially if your looking for a high top. Good luck!

THanks for all the great information you guys. I hope to go get the boat later this week. ( Hell yes I'm nervous) Its is great to have this resource. I know I will be asking a lot of questions. I hope to meet some of you in the future. If any C-Brats find themselves near marker 98 on the...

The new CD22 I am considering buying has the camper back option. I am in coastal Georgia and wonder how many folks use it and how it does in warm weather. I am told the glassine windows zip out leaving a screen opening. I hope its a small mesh. South Georgia sand gnats can ruin...

What your all saying makes alot of sense. I have had the unpleasant experience more than once in my sailboat of having to go on deck in the middle of the night to reset an anchor after the tide changed and the anchor alarm went off. One morning I woke up to find myseft in the marsh. The...

No, it was $1550 with anchor, 10 feet 1/4" chain and 200 feet of 1/2 inch rode. But a quick look online tells me the windlass alone is about $8-900 bucks. Having someone else drill into the deck and run the wires to the cockpit would be worth the installing charge to me. Is the pivoting bow...

Again may I ask your C-Dory owners a question about a purchase of a new 2006 CD 22. It seems to me a power windlass would be a real convience if not safety issue on the CD22. If you are single handing it would be tough to position the boat and then have to get up on the bow to feed out the...

The wife and I went to the Charleston SC boat show today and looked at the C dorys. The unfinished look of interier hull turned her off. I am wondering what you creative owners have done if anything about that. Seems it would sweat alot in cold weater too. I used to have a blowboat that had...

Hi Folks. Im pretty close to buying a new 2006 CD22, but the dealer is hundreds of miles away. There is one a little closer but Im not buying the boat there. I wonder how many of you CD 22 owners who bought new actually had a warranty issue where you had to bring to boat back to them? I am...

Seems to me if the table is supported only by the pedestal that falling against it in a seaway could rip it out of the deck!

Thank you all for the input. You have given me a lot to think about. One thing I dont understand completly is the way auxillary motors are set up. Are they mechanically attached to the large engine for steering? That seems like it would be difficult but I guess thats what dealers get paid...

Roger that, will search the archives... Thanks

I am considering ordering a new 22' because I cant find what I want on the used market. However I am struggling with the best way to power it. It seems to me haveing (2) 40's or 50's would give you the extra safety margin for offshore or remote cruising, but my dealer says the new 4 strokes...

Hi folks. Im a newbee and thinking of a 22 Cruiser. I live in Savannah Ga and its hot here in the summer. Most of the cruises and pictures I see on this site have the boat next to glaciers and other chilly places. Its obvious the boat is well suited to those areas. But Im an older guy that...
