I am on Lake Champlain. Troy has a pretty rough reputation, so maybe not a lot of cruisers around there. I have a 1o+ year old cruising guide for the Hudson (and Lake Champlain). Would you like me to post some of the marinas listed for you to call and see what's available?

LOL, today's post from the factory! https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DzrJBEmyz/

To be fair, literally, a dealer in Florida has a transportation cost to get the boat on the lot that is substantial $$$$ compared to one in the PNW, so protecting distant dealers is likely a fair piece of the thinking, I suspect.

Last Fall running light on my 25 my Suzuki 200 was running 5400 WOT (I think) and about 35 mph @ 2.0 mpg (or slightly better) on a 3x16x18.5. Been thinking about what I want to buy for a spare and looking for suggestions...?

I had to reattach a decent section near the stern on my 25. I pulled out the rubber and used like 1.5" sst round head machine screws with fender washers and nylock nuts inside, and a healthy dose of 4200 sealant. Two person job, your interior access may vary, mine was a bear reaching in under...

I had to lube the joints on mine to get them to draw down tight again also.

I had a cousin named Mike. Lake Champlain here, will be on my slip around the first of May in Shelburne. May make it over to the Rockland area sometime this summer.

Working on a new name for my 25 still. I was removing the vinyl letters and tiger graphic recently and discovered some raised lettering underneath the vinyl. Looks like hand painted letters with a coat of paint on top (all very chalky), but the interesting part is the boat used to be named "Just...

On my 2005 25' Cruiser I have the same pump and switch. It gave me trouble getting it sorted after I got it this summer. There was a stone in the impeller so the bilge pump didn't work at all. The circuit breaker in the dash was tripped and the float side didn't power at all. I cleared the stone...

Ben, thanks for starting this thread. I am dealing with a similar issue on my new-to-me 25. When I put it on a slip about three weeks ago it started occasionally bubbling up small amounts of water from a couple of screw holes by the thru hulls under the cabin step. I plugged them with some...

Donald, I just got my 25 out on Lake Champlain this month and after my first trip I put a Stingray hydrofoil on it. This lake has the shortest wave periods and keeping the engine trimmed all the way down with the hydrofoil lifting the rear makes the ride much quieter and more comfortable (my 10...

I own a towing business and have been to a variety of truck towing boat wrecks. When using a bumper hitch you are just asking for trouble if the tow vehicle is mismatched with the towed one. You are best off with the two being equal weight. With gooseneck or 5th wheel hitches the tow vehicle can...

Madeline and Eloise, the C-Shepherds

Thank you for the warm welcome Colby, Bob, and Pat. Searching for Tiger and C-Shepherd yelled no results for vessel names here, and C-Shepherd comes up pretty dry on Google, except for Cybil and a variety of LinkedIn accounts! And Bob, while I am fond of whales I agree I don’t want to be...

I just picked up my first C-Dory yesterday! I have been reading and searching here for a few months though. My new-to-me 25 Cruiser was bought late last year at auction in Florida and was last registered in PA in 2019 to someone with a female name. The original motor only had just over 500 hours...
