    WHEN DO WE RETIRE FROM BOATING?

    I will be 73 years young next month. I wonder how many years I might have left to enjoy my C-Dory fishing/cruising trips, expecting continuing good health of course. Who is the oldest C-Dory owner on this forum and still going out there on adventures?

    Hitting a Log with Yamaha 50hp

    I just bought a C-Dory 22 with twin Yamaha 50hp engines. I am concerned that I will rip off the entire leg(s) if I ever hit a log while at full speed because the engines are locked solid in the down position. I have owned other boats/motors where the outboard kicks up when you hit something. Is...
