The '06 Honda 135 that came with the boat was troublesome and finally died. Marina where I store the boat over the summer (FL) suggests a Mercury 150 or 115 CT. Would the 115 hp be enough power for max speeds of 20-25 mph?? Do the new Mercs perform well? Alternatives?

Local Power Squadron column in our newspaper gave formula for calculating max disp. speed ie., canal speeds. I can't find waterline length for our Venture 23 anywhere in the lit. Any answers?

Saw a C-dory just north of the Cape Coral bridge today mid afternoon. Anybody want to own up? I was on the Venture going toward the Gulf.

When I purchased our 23, it came with two Group 27 dual purpose (crank/deep cycle) batteries of slightly different amp hrs and a battery switch labeled: off, one, both. It's time to buy new batteries and my tech guy where I store the boat off-season suggests one start and one deep cycle battery...

Procrastination has resulted in losing three possible C-dorys. One of my problems is that the boat would wind up in Fl for the Winter. We are "up North" for about 6 months a year and the boat would be on the trailer at a marina in FL. How do I keep the batteries charged? Remove them and put...

Any comments on a comparison of the C-Dory 22 vs the Ranger 21EC? My first venture into power boating (sailor for 25 years) is with the intention of doing the Intercoastal from Lake Erie to FL where we spend the winter. The C-Dory is definitely roomier and has a better galley but is less fuel...

After five years of "looking", I'm seriously looking for a CD-22. Plans are to take it down the intercoastal from Ohio or Chesapeake Bay to Cape Coral, FL. The one boat I've looked at is pretty much stock. I'd need to add curtains, shore power, more storage, etc., etc. What do people feel is...
