Had a river runner before the C-Dories. Was not on that section but lots of places on the Salmon, Snake, Payette, Clearwater and so on. Outboards can work if replace the lower unit with a jet foot. Lots of duck hunters do this. Fiberglass doesn’t work so well. If you do happen to hit...

You might consider an enclosed storage facility. Here in Boise I have a 10x36 for $162/mo. So a little more than half the marina price. Since you can lock the door, security is good and you likely will have a place to store gear that you might not take on every trip.

We have a Honda 1000 and a mini tiller both 20 to 25 years old, and never a problem with either. However I have never used anything but non-ethanol fuel in either of them. Although Honda doesn’t say it in their manuals, some dealers will suggest pure gas is better, and storage life is double...

I use non ethanol whenever I can get it. What I have learned is that it is more likely to be available at card lock stations. And card lock companies will accept private customers. Here in Boise, I can get both 87 and 91 non ethanol. And I have been able to get it at times while traveling...

Porsche is to Ranger as VW is to C-Dory? What the heck! After owning various Porsches since 1990 and having C-Dorys for 18 years, I can assure you that Porsche’s and C-Dorys have lots in common. Durability, reliability, excellent performance for the dollar, fuel economy (think 30 mpg at 80...

A good illustration of why not to make plans to retrieve your boat late on a Sunday afternoon. Jack

Thanks for all the kind words. I am sure I'll be logging on from time to time to see what is going on. Best Regards

After 35+ years of boating, including 18 with C-Dories, we have sold our 16 cruiser. Ellen’s balance issues have continued to get worse and I have become increasingly concerned about her falling in the boat or going overboard and having significant difficulty getting back on board. Even though...

With having had both a 22 with a Honda 75 and now a 16 with a Honda 50, I could never think about putting less than a 75 on a 22. This is not a Honda thing but a horsepower thing. The way 22s are built and with 40+ gallons of fuel and 20 gallons of water along with cooking and dining equipment...

Is it faster than the beetle in the background?

We are friends with Gene & Sandy and they are still conducting the searches. I noted this article was dated 2012. So 6 years later they are still going. Recently Gene said they are conducting a few more seminars in an attempt to teach others their techniques. Before they traveled as much as...

We have a Honda 50 and changed from the original 11 3/8 dia 11 pitch to 12 1/4 dia 9 pitch, Honda prop. Living in Idaho we have altitude issues and are fairly heavy, 600 to 700 lbs, people, fuel, gear, etc. We were out yesterday and at 4000 rpm were at 10 mph. and 5000 gave us 15 mph. That is...

Sorry the same post is here 3 times, could not figure out how to delete 2 of them, maybe the admin can tell me how to do that.

As far as books go, the C-Dory book doesn’t tell you much because unlike the larger boats, there really no systems installed by C-Dory. We have no head, no water system, no built in fuel tanks, etc. We carry the info related to the devices we installed, such as the radio, Garmin GPS, and fish...

When this recall first appeared, I checked ours and the indicator was in the green. Recently I took another look and it was slightly in the red. Thinking it would have to be recharged, I called Kidde to find out if it could be recharged. After they asked a lot of questions, they said it was...

If the problem is not the fuel vent, double check the oil level. It does not have to be down very much to not start or also shut down.

Glad to see the 16’s are still on there.

Marco, If I read your post correctly, you took out C-Dory supplied pad and replaced it with 2 Themarest air mattresses. And the T-rests don’t stop the condensation but just keep it off the sleeping bags, right? We have a couple of T-rests from camping days and could give them a try.
