Is there a name for the wall of water phenomenon, I didn't catch it in the conversation or the article. What causes this wall of water and what can you do about it? Head straight at it if you see it coming or run away from it? Does this only happen during a large tide change after low tide with...

Dr. Bob, that is brilliant and the exact answer I was hoping was available. I have reached out to SeaStar, they didn't have something initially that would work (I only asked about the i7700 controller) www.glendinningprods.com has their Smart Actuator series that looks promising along with...

Hello Brats, Next round of questions. I am solid on the Yamaha 200 with the Yamaha 9.9 on a 25. What I would like, is a “Twin Engine Binnacle” to control the main with the left and to independently control the kicker with the right. I would like to have full independent trim, throttle, and...

My wife and I will be able to make it up for the factory tour. I have been a lurking and asking seemingly random questions for the past 2 years so it will be a pleasure to get a chance to meet some you. We have just finished our first year with our starter boat and are excited to take our next...

Catch 22. I saw you out on Sunday. All i was able to catch was massive amounts of seagrass. What is the strategy to avoid it in the area we were in Sunday? I thought having down riggers would have helped out more than it did. I think i counted 5 C-Dorys including your zipping around the fleet...

So I was curious and did some research on Jet Thrusters: https://www.hollandmarineparts.nl/jetthruster According to the installation manual the pump head needs to be install at least 6.5 inches below the waterline + the thickness of the hull and we can call it 7 for their Vertical install...

Thanks Martin: Upgrade anchor added to the list.

Thanks James: Added as must have. I will check yours or others for photos, I am not 100% sure I understand. That is a great Idea, I had thought it was only a raw water, does anyone have both raw and fresh water wash downs? 1 in the stern, 2 in the cabin. This was a humorous mistake the...

Does the windlass require its own battery? I am likely to ask for up sized everything (bilge pumps, chargers, batteries) I like the cockpit plug ideas that shall be included. Is there any pre wireing for an inverter to consider. I guess that depends heavily on battery placement. I have seen...

So I got a quote back from the local dealer for a new CD 25. I was both happily surprised and terrified at the same time. I had asked for the quote to include EVERYTHING possible which they did, (including a kicker when it already had twins on the spec sheet). Items included: SeaStar Duel...

Thank you Roger, Jake and Rob, I was really hoping this would be the case given how protected the waters are here from most winds. -Troy

Thank you. I guess I got what I asked for and its way too much information to even make sense of, there are way too many data points. Thanks again for everyone time and input. -Troy

The reason for the original post was to be able to set expectations to the Admiral. The idea of a quick run to a near by Marina with another couple or with our kids for dinner/lunch/day outing/golf is great. I was trying to find information how often (for example) the trip across to Kingston...

It doesn't matter, but have you ever visited a new city and asked a simple question such as how often is it sunny here. I am not sure what in my post you decided you didn’t like which is odd to me. You have previously replied to every post of mine in the past and never torched me and attempted...

Mark, thank you for your reply. I was hoping there was a site that I missed while looking for the data. Unfortunately I was unable to find the data I was looking for. Hardee, thanks for the reply. 2 ft chop for the 25 vs 1 ft sounds even better. I don't mind going slower to be comfortable. I...

Hello again: So I am looking at the CD 25. I having spent countless hours on this forum I have came up with a new set of questions trying to understand a boat I don't yet have but really want. Knowing that the weak spot in the CD 25 (compared to deeper V boats) is wind waves and chop at 1 foot...

Thank you again everyone for your thoughtful replies. That is a great option for a new boat and finding an older wood cabinet boat is another for our first Dory, as long as I have options to present to the boss. We are still about a year out from our boat, we have just submitted the paper...

Thank you for the reply localboy. Are the "newer fiberglass interiors" solid fiberglass? vs wooden core covered with fiberglass. I will admit creating a solid fiberglass interior to match the starboard side sounds daunting, I have to believe it is possible. I have seen some really neat and well...

First off, thank you all for time and consideration with my questions. I would love to configure the interior of a CD25 in a very similar layout to a Sea sport Aleutian 2600 https://seasportboats.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Sea-Sport-Brochure.pdf on the port side by moving the dinette to the...

That is huge 11.5 ft by 24.5 ft :D (according to the 3 pic on amazon) . It appears highly rated, I am interested.
