I have been lurkin' for weeks now learning alot from this GREAT group and we finaly did it, we bought our boat!
First to introduce ourselves, my name is Wayne and my wife is Alisa, we live in Lake Stevens Wa.
This is our 3rd boat, but I have allways wanted a C-Dory since they first came out. I first set out to buy a 16ft C-Dory as I thought that would do what I wanted and well, I thought it would be all that my wife would let me get :? . So after reading here about the great service at EQ Marine I talked my wife into goeing up to see Les and see what he had in stock to look at. When we got there right in front of his store was a 19ft C-Dory, my wife looked at it and said is that the 16, I said no thats the 19. She then she turned to me and said, I don't want anything smaller then that! :idea: The first thing I did was to show her the 19 and she loved it so we went in to talk to Les. He just happened to have a 16 he was rigging up for someone and he took us out back to see it too. First thing my wife said was, that looks like a bath tub it's to small. Man I was in heaven, my dreams had come true.
So we are now waiting for Les to rigg up our new 19ft C-Dory. So far the name we came up with that we like the most is C-Fisher. We both love to fish. We are not into camping overnight on the boat, we just like to go out and fish from sun up to sun down then go back to land to sleep so the 19 is perfect for us. It has been 12 years since we sold our last boat so we are very excited about getting it. We are haveing Les rigg it up with 2 Scotty 1106 Downriggers, Garmin 188C GPS/MAP/DS, Raymarine Ray54 VHF, Evinrude 90DSL E-TEC main and Johnson 6hp 4-stroke kicker and a Cabin Drop Curtain.
I must say, all you have said about Les is true. He is a wealth of infomation and truely loves putting these boats together. It has been the best buying experience I have ever had. Thankyou all for the tip. We also look forward to meeting some of you out on Puget Sound and very happy to be part of such a great group.
