C-Dory at Master Marine, thanks Matt, I was going to post that but didn't know the exhibitor and I keep walking by your booth looking at your kicker motors at Kitsap. Have a great show.
01/25 - 01/27 - 2013 Seattle Boat Show
- Thread starter rogerbum
- Start date
We set up an album for this years SBS fest. There is a sub-album already created in side of it for pictures of the Tap Room evening if you're of a mind to put them in there.
It looks like I won't be making it up there this year. Have a blast and do us proud!

Those of us still left here Saturday night had a nice dinner at the Four Seas Chinese Restaurant. Not much left now but checking out! We brought Starbucks Via and one of those silly little electric immersion heaters from the 1960s - works great, and still tastes MUCH better than hotel coffee in those stupid little two cup pots. Nice to be close to the Boat Show, but I kind of miss the large meeting room where we all could hang and chat, and the free breakfasts that used to be included! Overall, we owe Rogerbum a big "thank you" for his work on putting things together for us this year, including arranging the hotel, the transportation for Friday night, and the Saturday night dinner out! I would say a successful CBGT / SBS, looking forward to seeing Ruth's pix!
The Venture 23 at Waypoint Boats was way cool, the interior has been pared back to a more minimalist look, and the blue hull and new badge on the bow give it a very distinctive look. The price differential between the Venture 23 and the CD22 has also gotten a lot less, so I think the Venture 23 will become the new C-Dory standard. I think we will see a C-Dory presence, either Waypoint Boats or hopefully the current owners (the Wright family, which ironically formerly owned Sea Sport before the Lindhouts) at Friday Harbor in May.

Boat Show Attendees:
Sorry for my non-appearance at the activities, but the following excerpt from an email I sent to Roger this morning will help explain:
Roger- I got to the Silver Cloud Thursday night at 9pm and promptly went to bed (Rm 434). First thing Friday morning, my wife calls me and tells me 95 year old mother has fallen at her rest home and is not doing well, so I immediately converted my return ticket to Friday instead of Sunday and re-boarded the train and left for home at 9:45 am. Sorry, but I didn't have time to make all the communications, and, although I have a cell phone, it's not a smart phone and I didn't have any of the connecting numbers with me. Please send me a note with the amount I owe for the various rides and functions I missed, and I'll promptly send you a check (or checks) to cover it. Sorry for the communication screw-up. BTW: we think we're with the last day or so right now with my mom. Joe.
Thanks to Roger and Tom for organizing this year's event! Hope everyne had a good time!
Joe. :teeth :thup

Joe - you don't owe us any money. Sorry to hear about your mother in law and the need to return back to California earlier than expected. Hope everything turns out OK with the mom-in-law. We missed you but hope to see you sometime in the not too distant future (or next year's boat show). If I do this again, I'll get phone numbers from people by PM and provide mine so we can communicate more clearly. BTW - you missed a great presentation by Sam at the Taproom.
Great seeing everybody.... already looking forward to the Friday Harbor CBGT in May and hopefully seeing most of you again!
Thanks to Roger, Tom, and Susan for setting things up for the SBS CBGT and doing such a great job.
Also special thanks to the folks who came a long way and those coming to their 1st CBGT including Denniss, Dianne & Heinz, and Veronica and Terry.
Thanks Patty for toasting Dee last night.
Sorry to hear about your mother Joe and sorry we missed you.
Take care,
Dan, Tanya, and Hannah on C-Renity

We just got back from the show. Wow what a great time. All the credit goes to Roger. he handled it all and just bounced ideas off of me and let me drive the van. Friday night was a great time. We loaded up the van in seattle and headed out for the brew pub. I only took one small detour when I missed the lane for 90 and ended up south on 405 for a couple of miles. But with Larry's help and encouragement I was soon back on track. I did not hear any complaints about my driving but that may have just been the fear keeping them quite.
The dinner at the pub was very good and I really enjoyed The talk and slide show that Sam gave, what I could hear of it :roll: It was great to see a lot of old friends. Got to know some new friends over drinks in the hotel bar when we got back.
Breakfast in the morning at the hotel and then off to the show. We meet a lot of friend's wondering around the show. We got to look at a lot of boats and new items. The 30 ft cut water is really nice and has a lot of really neat ideas. Every time you look at it you see another feature that can be flipped over or turned around to reveal another useful feature. Built in seats in the bow, flipp over seat to counter tops in the cabin. The bow rail has a ladder right off the tip for beach landing. The boat is a little to plush for my likes, Just leather everywhere. I would be to afraid over messing it up to use it. Susan's favorite boat was the Ocean sport Roamer 33. With twin diesel's The 33 with get 2.2 mpg at 30 knots. That's as good as my 27 at 25 knots but at 365K I might have to wait awhile.
Saturday night was a dinner and a work out. I think that Rogers 1/2 mile guess/ hope was more like 1 mile each way to the Chinese place. Nothing like working off dinner. And again back to the hotel for drinks with friends.
Sunday was another great day and also Susan's birthday. We spent most of the day at the floating boat show with Don looking at lottery boats. Man there are some really nice boats down there. Another great boat show in the books thanks to Roger.

Sure sorry to miss the show. Sounds like a great time, as usual.
Tom, Susan has great taste. That Ocean Sport 33 is my favorite too, but not likely to be mine unless I win that lottery. If I do, I'll be sure to take you two for a ride.
And it has twins too :thup :thup

We took a flight from California to Seattle to attend the boat show and for the first time ever a C-Brats meeting.
We, Diane and Heinz, were pleasantly surprised with the exceptionally warm welcome by the Washington C-Brats group. We met a lot of great people and made new friends. Thank you very much to all who were so willing to share their personal boating experiences and technical C-Dory knowledge with us as we are new to cruising and have planned to take the inside passage to Alaska in the spring of 2014. The Friday and Saturday evening C-Brats gatherings were definitely the highlight of our Seattle visit…
We are committed to accepting the invitation to join the Seattle C-Brats group in May at Friday Harbor and to meet our new friends again.

I keep looking at the Album of "Boats on Display" and am amazed to find that most of them have two legs and a big smile 
Did anyone take any pictures of the aquatic version ??
I can quite understand not showing anything from the Tap room, what happens there, clearly stays there :wink:
