Hey Iggy: A conversation about a 25 year old boat that was purchased for a tenth of a new boat that had many extras including a top of the line pilot seat is on topic about whether older C-Dorys are overpriced or not. The bottom line is that many older boats have extras that increase their...

Nice mod and pictures DOD, I read an article recently that said there really isnt a reason for telltales anymore because of the sophistication of the engines and warning systems but that they keep them for long time boaters who dont feel comfortable without them. I am the same way; have to hear...

I also would go with C or D, I try and take most waves at an angle with any boat and as has been said previously, there is less violence that way. Hope everyone was alright and no damage was done; I would also report this ship to the USCG because that type of maneuver and speed in a restricted...

C-Otter: The pilot seat on my boat is a "Grammer DS 44/1". Its actually a Norweigan tractor seat and is of outstanding quality. I Googled their site but it was all in Norweigan and so I dont have much more info. It was on the boat when I bought it but similar seats are made here in the states...

C-Otter: Sorry I didnt repond sooner but Ive been away for a bit; the seat has a shock absorber and is very comfortable. Its adjustable, well built and fits perfectly. I will get the name and any other info and post tomorrow. Andy

When my wife and I decided to move up from our Bayrunner skiff (great boat that gave us many years of enjoyment) we wanted a cabin with a heater mostly. We saw the C-Dory and got all exited when we saw one at a local dealer until we saw the price. We ended up getting our 81 Angler for $8500...

I run in rough water a lot (like today!); use the main always if its functioning. HelenO is right, you will be able to stay out of trouble.

Charles: I had a 112 Johnson 2 stroke on my classic when I bought it and repowered to a 90 hp Suzuki last year and I love it. 4 Stroke is the way to go and as for brand; go with what is serviced well in your area. Honda has carbs and my Suzuki has fuel injection which is the way to go for...

Wow that is an interesting prop DoD, I will be very curious to see how it does. The prop on my Suzuki 90 is looks huge already and I dont have the math savy to work out all the pitch and diameter variables so for those of us mathematically challenged..your leading the way!

There are a lot of large boats for sale here as well and more than a couple of people have mentioned to me they are re-thinking their decisions to buy big and wishing they had bought a little more economical. Slip fees are also starting to go up by leaps and bounds but thankfully we dont get...

I always orient North up on land and at sea, couldnt change now even if I wanted to.

Thanks Joe, gives me piece of mind.

This thread has been very helpful to me and I must confess that I am often mystified over the whole 12 volt wiring scheme. Here is another basic question that has bugged me and I am sure someone will be able to help me out. I have dual batteries, one on each side of the motor well (I have an 81...

Oldgrowth, I think you have a good idea that should seriously be considered. If you or someone else has a site where we can get ideas and enjoy C-Dorys then why not have a link. I know I cruise the net looking for such sites but rarely stumble on them. Why not a page full of links? Greg's site...
