    Racor filter and fuel color

    I'm working my way through all the systems on this 10 year old 23' Wellcraft Walkaround (I named this boat the "No Dory" which is another story for which there is a large thread on this board). I have been tempted to inspect the bottom of the fuel tank for signs of problems/junk and this...

    I just love the temperament of the folks on this list and I wish that having started this thread, I would have decided on the CD22 as my boat of choice - do I have to own one to continue to participate in the forums :?: A lot of good information came out of the posts here and it helped me to...

    Open Ocean Suitability

    Well, I ran the "gunnel test" yesterday use a CD 22 Cruiser, a Wellcraft and a Seaswirl Striper - all seemed of similar vintage. Quite a noticable difference, although I didn't walk the cockpit because the owners were not present. So I did a little checking on the situation and here is what...

    Open Ocean Suitability

    Hi Bob, I hope I said suitable and not unseaworthy. All the quotes came from owners of heavy boats. One a longtime captain and owner of a 28' Bertram that he just spent $60K+- on a repower with two new GMC marine deisel engines - a serious kind of guy and obviously never owned a CD, but he...

    Open Ocean Suitability

    I don't recall reading it anywhere, but I have heard the same thing from 3 locals in the harbor. :?: I am clear that the boats can handle the open ocean in a variety of conditions - my question is more like, are the CD more prone to rolling and rocking due to the flat bottom (no V-hull to speak...

    Open Ocean Suitability

    Greetings to all you C-Brats from Bodega Bay CA, As I have posted elsewhere in these forums, we are looking for a CD 22 and have had some discussion with local boat owners here about the quest and the CD choice. More than once, I have heard about why you would not find a CD suitable for the...

    1998 22 Angler, $25,500 (Central CA)

    Went to see this boat on Friday with the intention of purchasing it, as it seemed to be very close to what I wanted. I drove 630 miles (roundtrip) to find that it needed more work than I was willing to entertain. My wife and I are kicking around the idea of biting the bullet and purchasing a...
