Rlengle's comments about mounting bolts below the water line left me somewhat confused. The C-Dory site lists a swim platform as an option for 16 cruisers. After contacting C-Dory, to get the mounting details, I had a local professional shop install per their instructions. This left the...

We got this comment a few years ago when we still had our 22 cruiser. After a day of cruising on Lake Washington, we retrieved at Renton and as we were tying down there was a large engined low freeboard runabout next to us doing the same. His lady friend said we should have gotten a boat like...

I now find that I won't be able to use the endurance as Goodyear does not make a 13 inch tire to fit my EZ Loader trailer. Guess I'll have a lot of time to see what the rest of you think of them. Jack

I recently read that Goodyear has released a trailer tire they have labeled the "Endurance", and are of US manufacture. Anyone heard of them or know anything about them?

Our 16 did not have one when bought it, and we bought one from C-DORY. Then we had a local shop install it, as I was worried about properly installing it and did not want any leaks. Probably not the cheapest way to go, but better than screwing up a nice boat that we intend to keep for quite a...

Don't know about the Tohutsu but we have 310 hours on an 09 Honda 50 EFI and performance has been flawless. If you are running a single engine, I would suggest that reliability is priority #1, performance #2, and a few pounds weight differential no more than #3. Others out there have...

Good one! And that's no bull.

You might try Sportcraft in Portland. They are both a Honda and C-Dory dealer, and I have had good luck with them.

Hardee is right my reply was based on a 16, but we had a 22 for 11 years, and I found the same suggestions applied. Know what your weights are and if your current tires are original then that is what the trailer manufacturer installed and the size and load range should be correct, so if you...

Since I am inland boater trailer tires are important to me. Over the years I have found that the best place to get good advice and service is a tire dealer that services commercial vehicles. Generally they have a lot of experience with tires used on non driving or steering axles and can offer...

I carry a 2nd prop but it is a different pitch than the original one as the 2nd provides better performance at altitude in lakes such as Yellowstone. Lots of advice here so I will only suggest that I also carry an inexpensive volt/ohm meter which doesn't take up much space and is very handy to...

Since I had an '01 22, my recollection is that is a drain from the cabin. I installed a drain in the bottom of the fresh water tank, after having to clean out the growing green things once. I found that tank tough to clean out and kind of a pain in the butt to remove and install. I had a...

We have 16 cruiser and troll for kokanee (lake fishing) without a trolling motor, instead using a Cabalas drift sock and easily achieve our goal of 1.5 mph. We attach a tube towing harness with a float on it (keeps everything out of the prop) to the boat, and then about 15 ft of line to the...

Sorry this got double posted and I can't completely delete it.

I am now 74 and moved from a 22 to a 16 cruiser about 4 years ago for similar reasons. My wife acquired some health issues that limited her ability to help dock and retrieve the 22. You are right in that the 16 can be single handed easily. Westward made all the points that are spot on. Don't...

I stopped at the storage area and looked at the our seat boxes. C-Dory must have changed the configuration before ours was built. We have no openings at the front of them and it appears they were molded into the foot rests on each side as they have no seams inside or out. They did have the...

If I understand correctly your openings face forward. I have an 09 and the openings face each other. Is mine different? They also have lower lip that thus has kept water out, but I did have a problem with water running under the cuddy where we store a lot of gear and at the same time there...

I agree with Steve Baum, no matter what one says on this subject, there will be plenty of opposite thoughts. Since I live in Boise, I have a lot of experience with trailers. We have had boats for 30+ years, the last 2 being a C-Dory 22 and our current 16. We had the 22 for 11 years and made...

Based on the responses, I guess it is possible. I don't usually track fuel use as the trips normally combine trolling with cruising. Also I don't usually carry 18 gallons. Usually a 6 and a 3 as a 3 spare fits under the cuddy berth. WOT is 6200, did not check speed. I put the 9 pitch on...

We just returned from boating on the big northern Idaho lakes, Pend Oreille and Coeur d'Alene. We put 10+ hours on our 16 cruiser with a 50 Honda EFI and about 550 lbs of people and gear, and we started with 18 gallons of fuel aboard, for another 110 lbs. We did the 10 hours on less than 16...
