Some of the things the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) has helped bring about in the Gulf Coast states include a ban on gill nets, gamefish status for redfish and trout and removal of thousands of abandoned crab traps.

Today I received a newsletter from the Coastal Conservation Association in which they announced that the orginization will expand its operations to the U. S. Pacific Northwest to address a variety of conservation issues, including problems with the salmon fishery. For thirty years this group...

Hello Louis and welcome! Following the advice of those who own a 16, I installed a permatrim. It will do what you want as far as holding the bow down. See the C-Voyager photo album. I use my load ( fuel, ice chest, passenger ) to ballance side to side.

Overheard while fishing: Boudreaux: Mais-I tank Marie an me gonna got a divorce. Thibodeaux: Why Boudreaux? Boudreaux: It's Marie, she ain't spoke one word to me in six month. Thibodeaux: Mais Boudreaux, I tank you should reconsider. Boudreaux: Why you say dat? Thibodeaux: Cause a woman like...

Cajun Dory on a Monday Afternoon. Finally a day off and good weather! About 73, clear skies and a light S.E. wind. A good day to bring my wife out for the first time on Cajun Dory. We launched at Cypremort Point State Park and went into Shark Bayou. There were no sharks in Shark Bayou. Next...

I did install a thru hull drain. Also a rather large bungee cord to hold the anchor in place. Remember the original Boston Whaler Montauk? It had the load( console, passengers and fuel ) located in the center. this made for a very seaworthy boat. Almost impossible to take a wave over the bow or...

Dave, I also have stowed under the v berth a bait bucket with 2 cast nets, two shrimp baskets with various gear inside and a 24 quart igloo ice chest for drinks & ice. Today I installed the hawse pipe and rope bucket. Seems very secure.

I have found that a standard 6 gal. portable gas tank will fit under the berth towards the bow. This puts weight forward and frees cockpit space. Seems to me there should be no safety concren as this is pretty much an open hull with on bilges or compartments. Any of you doing the same?

Tim Welcome from Capt. Jim on the 16 cruiser "Cajun Dory".

I am also interested in hearing what others have done regarding rod holders on a 16 cruiser. Our forcast for this weekend is for heavy thunderstorms, so installing rod holders might be on tap instead of the usual Saturday afternoon on the water.

Ahhh Eeeeeee !!!!!

That was quick!! Thanks guys. This site is almost as much fun as the boat. I will proceed as planed and let you all know what happens.

Does anyone have a GPS with an internal antenna mounted at the helm of their C-Dory? If so is the signal strenth OK? I an considering a compact unit such as the Lowrance M68c/sounder for my 16 cruiser and prefer not to have an external antenna if possible.

To be able to follow an expedition to a part of the world I will never see in persom.....PRICELESS!!. If you cannot report on this forum, perhaps our administrators could provide us with a link to yours

The Mercury 60 Bigfoot uses the 90 hp gearcase. It turns a larger diamater prop and is excellent for pushing a heavy load. The bigfoot concept was developed for crawfishermen in south Louisiana. Merucry has had some problems with this engine shifting into and out of gear. This has been corrected...

Cajun Dory on a Saturday afternoon. Got off work at 3PM today and took Cajun Dory for a spin to try out the new trim plate and SS prop. Went to Vermillion Bay which is about 30 miles south of Lafayette, Louisiana on the Gulf of Mexico. What a beautifull afternoon. Partly cloudy, about 80, with a...

I insatalled a trim plate today on my 16 Cruiser "Cajun Dory" a la Oldgrowth. Wow! A different boat. Everyone who has one of these should have one of those. Many thanks to Oldgrowth and C-Voyager!

I have been visiting this site for months and have just purchased a 16 Cruiser ( now known as Cajun Dory) from a kind gentleman in Montgomery, Alabama. The boat is tiny, slow, loud, etc.... and I love it!! Thanks guys.
