keith, you filled in a ton of grey areas with that post. Very helpful, but I really have to wonder how you manage to spend a week at Catalina inside that 16 footer along with spouse, dawgs, and all that "stuff!" It's clear to me that our personal needs would be better filled by a cruiser...

Lookin good. So far it appears Permatrims are mandatory on both models, 50 hp is adequate for all around use, and the biggest choice is whether a forward bunk is needed or not OR whether it will be used primarily for fishing or not. Cool. Spousal unit immediately crashes when exposed to sea...

Unlike your C-25, the C-22 cockpit deck is the inner hull on the 2005 and earlier. Outer hull, core, inner hull sandwich. C-22 owners happily walk below the waterline. I would be very concerned had I found flexing in the actual hull structure of my 2005 C-Dory. That was the year factory...

It sounds like you have the typical So Cal driveway as I have. Mine is a measured 26 ft. from garage wall to the sidewalk seam. My 22 ft. C-Dory fit but only because I ordered a Pacific trailer with a swingarm up front AND I backed it in with the motor in the down position. First pix in my...

I'd be there first flight if I could, Marty. Still in Elder Care mode. My first CBG was in 1976, again in 94 and then the dang stents last year. It's a miracle I haven't preceded mom (yet). First on my bucket list is to get up there and visit Dusty and a very close quad friend. Second is to...

OK, it's been 12 months since the Stents, the doc has given me back my launch privileges, I have the itch and I'm ready to scratch it, just not with a 22. I'd like to learn the practical differences between the Angler 16 and the Cruiser 16. I've heard a Cruiser is heavy aft and harder to...

A massive donation to the C-Brats tip jar would go a long way toward assuaging your guilt, methinks. :P

Seawolf Joe was shopping in a supermarket and noticed a little old lady following him around. If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at him. She finally overtook him at the checkout, and she turned to him and said, "I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease; it's just that you...

Now that I think about it, DaNag's dawgs would probably react like this: WTH, You expect me to replace Dana? Don

A retirement goal for DaNag. Training weimaraners as C-Dory autopilots. What the heck, there's precedence... . Don

Autopilot

Hear hear, Bill. I started this thread because I was excited for the PNW residents. No more Barefoot Bandit. Hindsight is 20 20 unfortunately. Apparently someone was suffering from serious cranial/anal inversion syndrome and entered text mode before energizing brain. Here is a non-profit...

Mary and I met him several years ago along with his retired crabber friend Captain Larry at a local boat show where they were featured in the "Discovery Channel" promo booth. It was early in the series and the booth was ignored the whole time we were there. We spent almost 20 minutes chatting...

It shows. When I was 11, each year was a big deal. Then 16 (driver license) was a landmark followed by 21, the drinking age. Around 40 I began fretting over each "zero" year, and I turned into a grouch at 50 because it was a half century milestone. Now that I've passed 70, it seems the...

Hey you PNW boaters, looks like your nemesis has finally been caught. I suspect it's relieved a lot of stress from folks who leave their C-Dorys unattended. Don

I had a 2001 Duramax and my neighbor has one as well. Never heard of the problem - and at the time I was very active in the Duramax specific forum on the web. My suggestion is to go there and check around. Great bunch of diesel enthusiasts there. Oh, and while I was looking up that site...

Personally I think the award for the most valuable object lost overboard would go to Sawdust. "Dusty" Lampman managed to lose an entire aircraft off his ship at the time - and he was in it! Well, to be fair, he did fly it around a bit and play "Shoot 'em up" first. (WW2) Don :lol:

Or go a little low if you want a quick sale. :wink: Seriously, electronic equipment doesn't really make a huge difference in price though it will make a difference in speed of sale. If it's reasonably modern like your stuff, that's great because a buyer won't have to consider buying new...

On the other hand, without the constant training and attention to detail, I think fatalities would be far worse. We watched a CG crewman on "After the Catch" (Deadliest Catch added feature) discussing Katrina rescues. What I learned was totally amazing. You guys are so well trained at your...

Uh, your father tried to teach you what a crescent wrench was for but you turned it into a crescent hammer, little nephew. (sigh) Need I mention the tire fiasco or the brake bust? Some folk do puters some do mechanical and some make beer. Stick to what you know is the best rule.... :lol...
