    Name placement

    Do all C-Dorys have their names in the same place on the side below the windows? I know the majority do. We're renaming our (new to us) 2008 Venture 23 and the side is already kinda busy with C-Dory brand name, the antenna and running lights. I have short two word (10 letters) name in mind...

    We're baaaack!

    John and Karen Provost (formerly of 'Blues Cruiser') are back in the fold with a new (newer) boat and a new dog (Meadow is 8 months now). We bought the 2008 Venture 23 currently named Sea-Jo. The boat had obviously been sitting on the hard for quite a while. On our maiden voyage we made it...

    2 Dorys

    Just saw 2 Cdorys blow by my place in Flagler headed north bound on the ICW. We're getting ready to take the party barge out to Bings Landing (7 mile north in Palm Coast) Hope they stop for lunch and we can meet although they looked to be in a hurry, probably trying to make St Augustine.

    Fuel question

    This has probably been gone over many times but I couldn't find anything using search so I'll put it out there again. We live in Florida from November to May. We have a dock. In May the boat gets put on a trailer and stored in the back yard for the summer. I have the 135 Honda motor. Is there...

    Overheating alarm question

    I'm hoping this has happened to someone else so they can help me figure this out. As I prepare for a lengthy journey traveling 100+ miles south on the St. Johns river to the St. Johns River gathering in a week, I remembered a problem I have had since I've owned Blues Cruiser. After cruising...

    Horn

    My horn sounds like a sick duck. I have read that it can be fixed to sound like new by soaking the diaphragm with spay oil (WD40 or equal). I just don't know exactly where the little bugger is. TIA Blues Cruiser

    Okeechobee waterway cruise

    Finally got a few days (10) freed up for cruising. We were going to try to get down to the Keys or maybe St Johns but decided to do the Okeechobee Waterway instead. This will be a grand adventure since we have never trailered our boat, never been to Okeechobee and never been thru a lock. Got...

    Help uploading pictures

    Can I (I can't) upload pictures directly from my laptop or do they need to be on a hosting site like photobucket? Already searched the subject and tried, but no luck. Then I emailed Tyboo, still no response. I know this has been covered 100 times but we're headed south soon and want to be...

    1/2 ton tow vehicle fo 25?

    Wondering if any one has specifically used a Ram 1500 Hemi for a tow vehicle to tow a C-Dory25 comfortably? I'm thinking of selling my Dakota 4x4 and moving up to a full size pick-up. I know its a gas hog but with the $15,000 I save over a comperable 3/4 ton deisel I can buy a lot of gas...

    What is your tow vehicle / what's a good price for a trailer

    We recently purchased a C-Dory 25 w/o trailer. Now we want to trailer it around. We have a V-8 Dakota rated at 7500# towing capacity. We have heard it's kinda small (even though boat & trailer would be less#) so we are in the market for a larger truck. Just wondering what C-Brats pull their...

    What to do with the roof

    I'm fairly new to CD. Curious about the roof on a 25. I've read you're not supposed to walk around up there or it might cause the windows to leak. Problem is I can't keep the girls off the roof. They claim it's the only place to sunbathe! I even see the roof depress about an inch as they...
