I bought C Dore in 2019, and I took it out immediately for a week in the San Juans. Since then I have constantly improved it, replacing the GPS, radar and fish finder, the helm seat, stereo and even the cabinets. It is powered by a 90 hp four-stroke Honda with 1850 hours, along with a 9'8 hp Nissan kicker. It has a Garmin 200 VHF, an electric water pump and a Wallas diesel stove/heater. In addition to the V-berth the table converts to an extra bed. The forward dinette seat can be reversed for a forward-facing passenger seat.
The boat is stored dry, with no marine growth or corrosion. The engines have been regularly maintained, flushed with fresh water after every outing. At 6'3", I appreciate the extra head room provided by the high roof. The aluminum propeller is 13.5 in diameter, with a pitch of 13".
The trailer is a King dual-axle bunker-type. It has been completely re-wired from LED tail lights to 7-pin vehicle connector. I've only used it a few times, so it too is corrosion-free, the hubs recently re-packed with grease.
Extras include an 8' inflatable dinghy with oars and an electric motor mount, crabbing gear (electric pot puller, four posts and a ring, with line and floats), and fishing gear (two manual downriggers, two pole holders, two rods/reels, tackle). There is an extra Danforth anchor with 50’ of line, a porta-potty, and full camper canvas cockpit enclosure.
Other features include:
• Radar arch with pole holders
• Golight remote controlled spotlight
• Lewmar electric anchor capstan
• Baystar hydraulic steering
• Lenco Trim tabs
• Two AGM 12V batteries
• Trickle charger and 12 watt inverter
• Two 23-gallon fuel tanks plus a 5-gallon portable tank
• 20-gallon water tank (uninstalled)
• Extra aluminum propeller 13.5P/15D
• Honda 90 repair manual
• Custom interior snap-on privacy curtains
C Dore will be at the Friday Harbor C-Brats Get together May 12-14, you can see it there or contact me for a viewing. Carl
