Thanks Casey - appreciate the info. Yes, we do have a cover for the boat - we've used in Blaine, WA the last two years and it has worked well. It is actually for our Winnebago View, but fits the CD22 perfectly. With all the rain in Ketchikan, I'm very happy I completed the Epoxy seal project...

Thanks Sam. We'll be leaving at the end of June.

Planning our path including fuel stops on the inside passage and SE Alaska. In 2010, NewMoon posted these fuel stops - does anyone have additions/subtractions from this list (Thank You): Broughtons and Queen Charlotte Strait: Lagoon Cove Pierre's at Echo Bay Port McNeill Sullivan...

We'd thought that we'd start a post to share our travel plans this summer to Alaska. It is so nice to have many c-brats already completing this trip to give us threads to search - we'd like to think this might help someone else in the future. we'll also share via facebook at...

I heard a lot of people yelling -- C and then a lot of people yelling back HAWKS!! Over and over. Great fans.

Thought I'd share this with the many Seahawk fans on c-brats. I'm in Phoenix for a few days (we stored our motorhome down here for the winter). Pretty much every fan I saw today was a Seahawk fan. They were having a fan fest at the Diamond Back's Chase Field and the line to get in (all...

I'm probably a bit behind the times in C-Dory pricing, but 114k retail or 100k show special for the 25 - Wow! That is some cash - didn't realize that they go for that much now. Thankfully, they don't change that much from year to year and our 2008 CD22 has everything that we want. Have a nice...

We have both - but rarely use the trim tabs. With twins and permatrims - you have great control as you can move each engine separately. Plus my hand doesn't need to leave the throttle to adjust the bow (or side to side). The trim tabs are much harder to adjust as you are cruising. I'd go...

Wow, didn't remember spending that much for our Autopilot - I'll need to take better care of it. For some reason I thought it was much cheaper.

We have the Raymarine S1000 Autopilot and have been very happy. Simple easy install and has worked flawlessly since 2008 - and we use it almost 100% of the time we are cruising (trawler speeds). It'll get some major use on the way to Alaska this summer!! We have it tied into our computer...

Yes, we are very tired of having the fuel exit from the fuel vent or burp out the fuel fill. We can take care of the burp by wrapping a fuel towel around the fuel filler, but still have the fuel vent problem. You can just not fill the tanks fully, but we like to get as much fuel as possible to...

If it was between an Autopilot or GoPro - I'd certainly pick the Autopilot. The way we travel (trawler speeds) - we really couldn't enjoy it without the AP. Love the AP and use it all the time.

We've used our GoPro Black 3 extensively during our travels in our View and CD22. It is very easy to use and the video quality is amazing - almost better than real life. Recently we purchased the screen to attach and have used it as our camera. You need to practice with the camera function as...

We use Google Chromecast almost nightly watching YouTube video's. Chromecast has a TV Queue that as you select video's they are put in the queue and they continue to play. The selection of videos on YouTube is amazing - we tend to watch folks video diaries as they cross oceans, RV around the...

Very impressive!

You're right - typo - should have been Thrust.

Hi Jay, Yes, that could be - when the sea state is "more than enough" (one time going across Death's Door on the Great Lakes), then I would normally have two engines down and running thru the "valleys" as much as possible. But in comfortable wavy situations, I'll still run only with one down...

That is interesting in regards to the control with only one motor in the water. We almost always only have one motor down and never have a control issue - autopilot seems to run normal. I wonder if it has anything to do with the Perma-trim's that we have installed?? I do put down both engines...

Hi Harvey, We have a Honda Digital Speedometer. It'll show the fuel usage on the Port engine, Starboard engine, or combined. It'll also show the mpg if the speedometer on the engine works correctly and that engine is in the water. Almost always just use the gallons per hour. It is very nice...

We cruise our CD22 (twins) with only one motor in the water and burning 1 gallon per hour on the gauge. Not even sure what speed that is but it varies by conditions. Our other speed is generally WOT and only at the end of a long day cruising or a need to beat the weather. We love to sit back...
