    Costco Shelter

    Would you mind sharing a picture of the building they built you? I'm in the process of buying a 22' Cruiser and this looks like a great option for covered storage.

    22’ Cruiser top speed

    Greetings C-Brats! I finally took the 22’ Cruiser I’m interested in buying for a test run and I’m moving forward with the purchase. My only concern at the moment is the top speed of the boat. The seller indicated around 23mph. When we took it out today we had it pretty loaded up with people (7...

    Would this fit and work well in the cockpit of a C-Dory

    if you were only looking to have a place to sunbathe then maybe this setup that's on one of the C-Dory's on yachtworld right now might work: https://imgur.com/a/hSeUmD6

    Single or Tandem Axle Trailer?

    I appreciate the feedback. It's a 115-135 mile trip each way to the places I'd likely take my boat. I imagine 90% of my launching will be just 15 miles away from the house... it's these longer trips that worry me. I"m a "peace of mind" kind of guy, and combined with my bearing exploding...

    Single or Tandem Axle Trailer?

    Another question I've had a little bit of a struggle with while looking for my own C-Dory is a single vs tandem axle trailer. I've seen a lot of both types of trailers as I search for a C-Dory 22' to purchase. Let me tell you an interesting story... I currently own a 16' Duroboat. When I...

    Cruising into the open ocean

    What sort of fuel economy do you get with twin 45s at various cruising speeds?

    Cruising into the open ocean

    It's too bad you're so far away. I would love to see your boat.

    Cruising into the open ocean

    I'm curious to know how fast those twin 45s push you in reasonably calm conditions?

    Vehicle to tow a 22' Cruiser

    Yeah, I thought about that years ago after the first time I got stuck in the grass in my yard on a wet day on a very, very small incline. Maybe now is the time to pull the trigger on that!

    Vehicle to tow a 22' Cruiser

    Only reason I’d consider the Tacoma is because it’s a 4WD. My F250 is a 2WD and doesn’t have a limited slip/posi rear end. The boat launch I use now is great and have no problems launching with the F250. The Tacoma would allow me to launch at sketchier launch sites.

    Cruising into the open ocean

    It’s reassuring to hear a number of people head out with a single main and kicker. I seen your boat for sale when you posted it, but it’s a little more than J want to spend (close to my range) and looking for something with fewer hours on the main motor.

    Cruising into the open ocean

    I've been on the hunt for a C-Dory for a while now and one thing I keep tossing back and forth is twin motors vs a main motor + kicker. I think the majority of my fishing will be done in Puget Sound... likely trolling for salmon. However, I would like to take it out to Seiku, Neah Bay, and...

    Byrdman Back in Dory-Ville

    Ah, congrats! You beat me to it... looked like a great boat at an attractive price. Will be interesting to see how it works out for Byrd.

    Vehicle to tow a 22' Cruiser

    I think most of my towing would actually be local. I'm in the 10-15 mile range from the boat launch, so most trip would be short. Maybe it's best to use the F250 for the longer trips!

    Vehicle to tow a 22' Cruiser

    Right, I expect the towing to be a little different with loading the bed vs pulling a trailer... just curious what it will really be like. When I say squirrelly I mean it felt like the body was floating on the chassis... I'd turn corners and it almost felt like skating on ice when really it was...

    Byrdman Back in Dory-Ville

    Was this the one that just sold in Woodinville? When we called about this boat the seller said they had someone coming to look at it. Seller later informed us it was sold and said a family member of the buyer had come to check it out and make the purchase. I assume this must be you?

    Vehicle to tow a 22' Cruiser

    Hello C-Brats! I'm new to the site. I don't own a C-Dory just yet, but have been shopping around for one and looked at several now. What a wonderful boat! I am more-or-less sold on the 22' size and am still a little up in the air about the Cruiser vs Angler, but leaning more heavily toward...
