    From E.Q. - Possible status change

    It's a Cdory website but the diesel Rosborough raised our eyebrows into our scalps when the previous post came out. IMHO it's what the 29 venture could have been. Wish I could ride one and then ride a Tomcat AT THE SAME PLACE but....ya.

    From E.Q. - Possible status change

    Since this topic started about Les, the factory needs to know that *potential* buyers have heard of Les. Potential buyers are willing to wait for their boat from Les. I don't care if it takes me a year to get my boat. Dropping that kind of chump change, I don't WANT to find out something was...

    Boatyard charges

    Master Marine is the shop for checkered flag where I bought my Glastron. They are very nice to me and have always let me watch when they are doing stuff and always have time to answer dumb questions. But they charged $95/hour for the factory required 20 hour service that MUST be done at an...

    Greetings from C-Dory

    Rich I wanted to tell you the impression my wife and I had after our hour plus talk the last Saturday of the boat show was very positive. You took our griping about price increased in stride when we had no idea exactly who you were (until you gave us your card). And you sure did do a valiant...

    Surge brakes downhill

    Tyboo, the EZ Loader guy at the SBS said basically the same thing and "if you do, don't downshift". I couldn't resist saying "if I'm not supposed to drive down hill how would I get my boat anywhere around here?". :P But he did also make the good suggestion that discs were worth the few more...

    Surge brakes downhill

    LOL!! It's alright Mike, you're not too far off but I think that the grade is not as steep as it could be with some "other" brands behind my truck :wink: Would have been a cd25 instead if it were last years boat show prices. The $15k price increase this year really discouraged us. So we...

    Surge brakes downhill

    Thanks that is all great information. FWIW the boats a 185, 2375# dry. Should be right comfy behind our 4.0L Ranger now that I hear some positive comments.

    Surge brakes downhill

    Apologies in advance (please move if you need to), we didn't get our Cdory just yet, but did pick up a new Glastron (w/disc brake galvanized EZ Loader) at the show and I'm really concerned about the surge brakes after reading all around here and on the net. And, well, there is a high...

    Magazines?

    The free Motorboating magazine I got for buying SBS tickets online last year is expiring (thank god!). So now that I know what kind of boat to get if I'm excessively wealthy and live in Florida I would like to come back to the Northwest with finding copies of Nor'westing and Trailer Boats...

    Outboard Oil -

    Some good discussion from an amateur about oil filters (even though it is car related) http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilterstudy.html I have experienced 2, and have heard from others in my car club, about Fram filters disintegrating. 10 years ago part of a Fram filter broke up and was...

    No more C-Dory Factory service, Seattle area

    We both have been watching this thread also as prospective new buyers in about a year or two. We have also been playing "devil's advocate" comparing "ready to go" boats and always come back to bouncing between one of the C-Dory products; be it a 25, TC or Skagit. In none of the forums for...

    First look at C Dorys

    This reads as if someone bugged our living room. Pictures from the 2006 SBS, and the recent Boats Afloat are screen savers on every computer. Pictures posted on my cube to remind me why I come to work. Separate accounts set up named "C-Dory". Boat names narrowed down: C-Denis Labradory Saintly...

    Hot Water Duration

    Not to steal your thread but it kind of is on topic for those wondering water heat options. When we get our boat, I think I will put this on it. http://www.boatelectric.com/d4wh.htm 5.5lbs (not much heavier than a webasto) .05gph on low (not much more than a webasto) 1.5A on low (yes, this is...

    C-Dory Sightings

    Saw someone going southbound on I-5 in Corning, CA yesterday about 10:30am. I think it was a 22 but couldn't get much else, I was doing about 85 on my way home from the bay area and noticed it at the last second. Looked nice though!!

    Small learning boat suggestions

    I saw the Andersons were kicking the C-Ranger around and if they do I'll probably be camping in their front yard chomping at the bit for their 25 :smilep AMEN! If I can talk my mom and dad into moving up from the bay area sooner we can pool our resources and mom will be happy on the C-Dory...

    Small learning boat suggestions

    Yes craigslist!! Beware people who want you to drive your free junk to them (could you bring that free TV to me in Renton?? HECK NO it's FREE for &*$#^@ come and get it!). I can't even remember how I operated 10-15 years ago now because of the internet. I don't remember how to read a thomas...

    Interesting Pat. We have seen those online before. How many people can you fit in it? If my grandparents wanted to go out on the sound around Edmonds, would they be comfortable in the back? I get the idea that we are the only people in the PNW who don't fish or crab! LOL. When we get our...

    Small learning boat suggestions

    Thanks, but that's not the angle I'm looking for. I want her to get used to sitting at the chair, operating the throttle etc. She asked where the gas pedal was yesterday when looking at the soutcenter thing :smileo And we want to be able to maybe tow a tube or something with friends at a lake...

    Small learning boat suggestions

    Thanks Bob. Again, a wealth of knowledge! Driving to soutcenter was a waste of gas...they only had about 20 boats, most over 30'. We're thinking of heading up to dagmars to see what's there. I don't really know of any other used dealers that we can go to see a variety of things. I do know the...

    Small learning boat suggestions

    I suppose I've just heard all the bad things about bayliner (and that force motor). Something newer might interest me. I'm at the beginning stages of looking for what there is. I agree about dealers, but I'm the kind of shopper that learns everything there is about what I'm going to buy if it's...
