Marc supplied the quote for the Magic Tilt. He would have someone bring it to Jax where I could pick up after the show next weekend. I'm looking for a diesel truck but I found a nice deal on a loaded Ram 1500 with a Hemi. Too small? I believe it's towing cap. is 9100#. What's the difference...

We recently purchased a C-Dory 25 w/o trailer. Now we want to trailer it around. We have a V-8 Dakota rated at 7500# towing capacity. We have heard it's kinda small (even though boat & trailer would be less#) so we are in the market for a larger truck. Just wondering what C-Brats pull their...

I've requested a quote from Platinum Boat Trailers in Ocala. Should I spec disk brakes on one axle or two? I'll try Kodiak too. Thanks!

The teak will cost $800 for 43 sq ft of milled teak decking planks, 1 7/8" wide, 9/16" thick, 8' long at Teakwood of Florida in Palm Beach. I'll pick it up when I'm down there for the Barret-Jackson Auction next week. The aluminum frame I'm having fabricated in Daytona Beach for a cost of $500...

I've called some local dealers w/o luck. I'll get back on Google and try again. Would you know any specific names I can call? Thanks!

I don't know if this is the right place to post but I need a trailer for a 25' Cruiser. I have several calls into the local (5 hrs.) C Dory deaLer but haven't heard back from them. I'm looking for a Magic tilt (best). Venture 2682 (good) or equal (okay) in central Florida area. Thanks!

After researching this project by checking out local marinas and talking to suppliers and fabricators, I've decided to have an aluminum frame built and cover it with 8' teak planks. I'll post some pics as the project comes together. Although it will add a litttle weight (maybe 150 lbs.) up...

Since I don't weld, I think this weekend I will build a wood (oak) platform similar to the one shown by C-WEED. That is, unless I find something premade aluminum at Home Depot or an RV store. Thanks for all your great ideas and feedback!

I like it! How much do think it weighs? I like the fishing platform shown near the top of this page too. Maybe we can find/construct an aluminum platform that will fit up there. Small canoe seem like a viable option to a dingy too. Thanks guys! PS. The "girls" probably weigh 250 between...

Great idea! 6' 5" headroom leaves plenty of room for ribs. What do you think, glue or bolts? Wood or metal?

Interesting...Guess I'll have to invent something!

Thanks for the input. I seem to have started some sort of debate. When people are up there, I definatly have seen roof flex. Just wondered if it would/could cause permanate damage and if anybody has seen cabin top platform of some kind for the 25?? BTW the same size Rossbourogh has a second...

"Blues Cruiser" Pounce Inlet, FL

I'm fairly new to CD. Curious about the roof on a 25. I've read you're not supposed to walk around up there or it might cause the windows to leak. Problem is I can't keep the girls off the roof. They claim it's the only place to sunbathe! I even see the roof depress about an inch as they...

The A/C unit seems to have a lot of different names. I found the Cruisair name on what looks like a box of electronics, that also said 12,000 BTU (and a lot of other numbers), the Taylor Made name was on the fan, the Tecumseh name on a white canister/tank evaporator (?) and it has a Mermaid...

Okay, a little more searching discovered that the A/C is a 12,000 BTU Cruiseair unit. The amps I saw earlier was just the fan i guess. The shower leaks at the clamp between the drain fitting and the hose. I pulled the hose, cut off 2" and reattached but it didn't help so we just haven't...

Thanks for the info. As I stated in my first post, A/C draws 3.4 amps to start and two (2) to run. Can't find too much data on A/C except it has a Tecumsah (sp?) motor. Water heater is 1500 watts. It ain't the heat, it's the humidity. We always say that and it's truer on the water. It did...

Introduction and first post: Hey everybody! I'm John and with my first mate, Karen, bought our first C-Dory. I keep the boat moored on the ICW in Flagler Beach, Florida. I had it delivered from Virginia and someday will buy a trailer. Probably have to buy a truck too as we have a V8 Dakota...

Obviously I can't do pictures yet

Just wanted to introduce ourselves. I'm John, and Karen is my significant other and we have a mutt, Darius. We just purchased "Blues Cruiser" from Fred Simon in VA. Since we live in FL it was surveyed and bought sight unseen (bad idea) then shipped here. We have found many things that do not...
