As long as this thread has wandered a bit from the original topic...

Joyce and I were wandering the Seattle boat show last Saturday and (as always) took the opportunity to visit the C-Dory display. About 15-20mins after viewing the TomCat, Joyce started talking about how if we combined our mortgage and a home equity loan (that we took for a massive remodel) back into a single mortgage, the difference in the monthly payments would allow us to buy a TomCat. She then mentioned that she really liked that boat and could see spending more time on a boat that large, etc...

My first thought was "Who are you and what have you done to my wife?", but fortunately, I resisted that. Anyway, a larger boat may be in future but I don't think anytime in the immediate future. I want to get the boy through college first. But who knows what could happen at the next boat show.....
 
Roger, when the Admiral gives the go-ahead, why wait for the next boat show?

I dont have enough years to have a record in this crowd thatswhy I went first. dusty, if your out there command does not equel ownership. That should shorten his list a little. maybe down to two pages.
 
I checked the 15 to 20 year box. That's true for total C-Dory ownership.

15 years with a 22 Angler, 1983
1 1/2 years with a TC24, 2003
over 1 year with the present TC255, 2006
 
22' C-Dory
16' Kauffler drift boat
13' Canoe
3-8' sailing dinghys, ya thats right, 3 dinghys
8' Bombard inflatable dinghy.
8' Sevalor pool toy, former dinghy.

Thats just what I currently own. If you want to talk about boats of the past, pull up a chair and get comfortable.

ps: anyone interested in an 8' sailing dink?
 
Man does not live on one boat alone... :mrgreen:
3 C-Dory boats...which aint all bad for a short guy down in the southeast corners.

NOW... WHY I BOUGHT A C-DORY IS NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE NEW...BUT BECAUSE A LOT OF THEM WERE OLD...AND JUST AS STRONG, STURDY, SEAWORTHY, AND SAFE AS A NEW ONE....

I truly hope the folks at the factory do not loose that fact.

I bought a new Bayliner, which was a great boat and not a single thing broke on it in the entire 18 months I owned it. Notice the 18 months. Not sure I would buy a 1984 Bayliner, Maximum, Sea Ray...or other blow-n-go boats. Why did I buy it??? Well.. my wife said...."why don't you just buy that blue water version trophy boat and shut up about not having a boat.??"""" Well... I always try to make her happy when I can.

Now... LOOKING BACK A FEW POST.... If wife had the funds figured out... and she was telling me to buy a new TC255.... I bet she could also teach a son to find his own way to pay for college :mrgreen: The National Guard worked for me...! Sorry... could not pass that one up.
 
Since we are talking about boats owned, I'll add my list! I currently own eight (most are small, and all but the last purchased used!)...

2 kayaks
1 12' Porta-bote (almost 20 years old)
2 Sunfish sailboats (plus spare parts)
1 13' Peep Hen sailboat
1 22' C-Dory (the biggest and best!)
1 inflatable kayak (which I gave my wife for Christmas!)

Most of these boats, including the C-Dory, we keep at our cottage on L. Ontario. The Peep Hen is a nice sailboat, but since I got the C-Dory I have not used it enough to justify continued ownership.
