Jay, Good pictures. Looks like you have snaps just below the bumpers all around. Do you have canvas that covers your boat? Do you have pictures? My "Hunky Dory" is a 22' Cruiser in Maine. I know of at least 6 Hunky Dory's out there. The name really fits the boat.

I have a 1990 22' Cruiser that needs trim tabs bad. My question is: Do I have to remove my twin 18 Gallon fuel tanks to intall these trim tabs? Also, I have a 15HP Kicker mounted to the transom on the Starboard side of the main 70 HP. Does anyone have a recommended Trim Tab size that would...

I operate in high current waters. My 22' cruiser is all over the place in this current. I currently have a 1990 70HP Johnson but will be re-powering in the early spring. Most boaters I know have 3 blade props. My current prop is a 3 blade. I'm told that a 4 blade prop would give me more...

These both claim to be better then 4 Strokes with fuel economy and being quiet. Can these outboards meet these claims? Is one really better then the other? I haven't heard much about the Mercury's on these forums. Still searching for the right motor for Maine waters. Water temperatures are...

Here we go again. I'm looking at a 90HP Evinrude E-Tec Outboard. I've priced all brands of 4 strokes as well as the E-Tec. I'm told, by the dealer, that the E-Tec 90HP will bolt to the same hole pattern as my current 1990 Johnson 70HP and will use the same controls. C-Dory Customer Service...

I've since noticed that this topic is extensively covered on the C-Dog website. Thanks for your help, Dick

You said you were from Marysville CA. We camped at Live Oak on the Feather River for several years. Good fishing but not Sturgeon. We later camped in a camp ground at the junction of the Feather and Sacramento Rivers. Again good fishing with Sturgeon. Never fished the waters North of Bodega...

I have a 1990 22' Cruiser with a two burner alcohol stove. Has anyone upgraded to the new Wallas Stove? Is the hole in the counter top the same size? Are the instructions for venting complete? I understand that the Wallas Stove makes a good safe space heater. Is that correct? Thanks, Dick

Sturgeon fishing is one of the best fishing. Especially in your neck of the woods. I lived in Vallejo CA for 20 years and fished San Pablo Bay, Napa River, Suisun Bay and the Sacramento River for Sturgeon. California for years had a lower limit on Sturgeon size with no upper limit. As a...

My 22' Cruiser was on a boat lift in Southern Maryland for 6 years. I had no problems with the boat now or then. My boat lift had two I beams going from left to right. One under the bow and one under the stern. On these I beams were two 4 X 8 pressure treated beams covered with carpet...

Woops! I failed to mention that that quote for a single 90HP 4 Stroke also included a 15HP 4 Stroke kicker plus controls and hydraulic steering. That's a big omittion and I'm sorry. I could do a lot of the work myself but I've developed some physical problems that make it hard to climb in and...

To Captains Choice, 15K is the cost quoted to me for either a new 90HP 4 Stroke or twin 40's plus controls and hydraulic steering upgrade. The new 4 strokes aren't cheap. Thanks for you response. Dick

One last question. I've been asked to join local C-Brat members in their travels all over New England and beyond. This means trailering the boat from here to that location. My trailer is a tandom axle E-Z Load trailer with bunkers. How does added stern weight effect trailering? Is it...

Another question has surfaced. My 1990 70HP Johnson weighs 250 pounds according to the service manual. To re-power with the new 4 strokes the weight would be 150 to 200 pounds more on the transom. My transom is rated for 90HP Max but nothing is mentioned about weight. I operate in high...

I keep hearing about a raised mount for my kicker. I have a 70HP Johnson as a main and a 15HP Johnson as a kicker. Both are mounted directly to the transom with a gang link between them for steering. Is this raised mount do to the overall size of the new 4-stroke or what? My 15HP developes a...

This has been a fun topic. To DodgeRam: It took me 4 years to decide on my C-Dory. From one dealer, boat show to another. I made the right decision with my C-Dory. You all have given me some really great input. I appreciate it very much. Now I have to convince my wife we need to...

Great response. Thanks to all. I have another question. My boat will be at a mooring when not in use. With twins or single, will the motors be out of water when raised. My current Johnson is completly out of water. I noticed in the manufacturers literature the the tilt angles are...

I appreciate the responses. I have an additional question. With twins, Is it necessary to have counter rotating props? Years ago I was told that this would eliminate a strong pull to the right. I haven't talk to dealers yet so this may be quite expensive and not worth the cost.

Thanks for your input. The tracking issue I've never considered but I have experienced the yaw with my single. It's an uncomfortable feeling. The waters I travel have a large current and a lot of boat traffic so with my single I'm all over the place.

My C-Dory is a 1990 22' Cruiser with a single 70HP 2-stroke Johnson of the same vintage. The engine is showing her age and eating gas. I'm looking to re-power with a 4-stroke. I've heard many pros and cons about single vs twin engines and would like to hear from C-Dory owners as to what works...
