I loved my c-dory, but I had to sell it. It basically ruined my back..... Any chop more that 3 feet was unbearable. The 0 dead rise aft was to blame. Great inshore and cruising boat though.
Hope you and family have some wonderful memories to share in the future regarding your time on the water!!! I raised my children on the lake and we have some great memories we share today!!! Enjoy!!!!!
Beautiful boat. I would give my brothers left nut to own one. I've been subscribed for a while. Hope you and your family have many wonderful adventures on board. Jerry
I saw the first C Dory while my family was running a little tour boat on the Mississippi River. It was 18'. Had twin 60's with an A/C on top. I made a promise to myself I would have one.
Congratulations on the new boat. I’m happy that you decided to Include your family On your great adventures. This new journey will create loving memories. Good luck and God bless to you and your family.
I’ve got a 05 cruiser. Actually been working on it all day. We’re getting her all rigged up for our spot prawn opener on Thursday. We have the same wallas in ours as well. I actually just installed another diesel heater in ours today. Lots of heat is a good thing for us. Prince William Sound can be a bit chilly in April!
TRIP . You " might " want to consider getting solar panels for where you took off the outside radar unit . You could easily get 300 Watts up there , and then buy a 12 Volt frig . They have many now on Zon . If you consider getting Solar and a 12 Volt Frig , I can turn you on to a channel for Solar planning , and good cheap 12 V Frig's . GREAT boat ... Gubs
Beautiful boat Trip. Looking forward to seeing mini Trip 1 and 2 on an adventure...and of course Mrs Trip. Or...maybe she will have a peaceful restful weekend lol
I've had two of them over the years .been all over Alaska with it slaying the halibut and salmon. It was great when the kids were small. The VW of the sea.
Nice boat and a proud owner. I came to this video from watching a few videos on super yachts. Funny thing I think the owner of this little boat will get more fun and joy for himself and his family with this nice little 22 foot boat than the owners of some super yachts. Enjoy, have fun, and make happy memories.
@@TripSmith Money is nice to have Trip, but family and good health is way more important. Enjoy the simple things in life and the wealthy will envy you.
Hey Thanks Marty! You are more than welcome to when your get down this way. But that'll be quite a while from now by the looks of your route. Or if you ever take a break from the loop and leaving the boat at a marina for a short period just let me know if you want to make a quick stop by. Would be happy to let you see what she is like.
She is a capable little thing and if a motor goes it, it's not as hard to repair or to repower. You may or may no be aware, but on some big boats it can be a chore to repower them ;) lol Just messin with ya. Hope the Tiki is running well and you have full confidence in her.
👍Oh oh oh that boat it super cute & cool. You’ll get a lot of use with it with your family. You’re creative & handy so I can’t wait to see the enhancements you make. Wishing you great memories with your family. I love your videos. 🤗💝🤗
As long as you aren't going to fast, the handle rough water wonderfully. But it's best to keep them under 16mph or so in the rough stuff. It's a trade off for the flat bottom, fuel efficiency and shallow draft. I'm good with that trade off.
Just about perfect ( and will be with a bit of tweaking ! ) for coastal river mouth/ bay hopping ! Plenty of room on the back deck for family dining/ fishing/ relaxing under a retractable awning. With the dependable economy of the modern outboard ( and maybe a extra jerrycan of fuel ) you have dozens of adventures to look forward to ! Enjoy man ! ( and family ! )😎👍
You are right David! I've got several trips under her keel so far. Some 100+ milers.... Also have things like solar setup as well that make her a dream to be aboard
@@TripSmith I'll try not to be too serious about it all but this is not a rehearsal ! Work to live, don't live to work ! No one promises tomorrow ! Take care of business of course but live it ! Stay safe and enjoy mate. From Geraldton Western Australia. 😎👍
Nice boat Trip! My dad has had a 25 C-Dory for the last ~20 years and loves it. He constantly takes it on adventure trips and it is very versatile! Looking forward to future vids, keep up the great work!! 🛥
Having lived on a boat late 80s to mid 90s probably the reason for the diesel stove is that diesel fumes are lighter than air. This is important when inside the boat because these fumes will float up and out as opposed to pooling down in the bilage and potentially going boom! I had propane stove but that entailed an electronic solenoid at the source (the source being stored in an outside (top side) vented space because like gasoline propane gas will sink and pool. Notice that your gas tanks are outside topside so as to provide for the fumes to get out and keep you safe. I had a jon boat with a 9.9 on that boat back in the day and the gas was stored outside (protected) and topside, the main engines and generator was diesel. Nice mini Yatch you got there, I moved from Miami to Panama City about 10 years ago and since it gets cold up hear that little diesel stove can probably do more than cook, it can be a heater more than likely that was part of the appeal in Alaska. They say "Time is money" ask an old rich guy in ICU dying if he would give you all his money to have a few more years of good health to live to enjoy? You live in time, life is to be experienced. You are spot on bud. Keep it going.
I was over the moon when you mentioned your wife and kids coming along! Always wondering what they were doing while you were toughing it in the great outdoors! Love the mini-yacht! Best wishes for years of enjoyment! I'll keep my eye out for you on our Chipola!!! - LJ
Yes, it will be a nice family boat. Well, they were at school and work since I usually go during the week so I can be home on the weekends. Thanks and maybe I'll cya Out There!
Very nice, almost bought a C-Dory awhile back but, went with another brand. Very popular, VERY expensive boat brand in the Pacific Northwest so, they have to be a hardy build. Good luck.
Wow! Just discovered your channel...love your mini-yacht! I can see you are going to have a lot of fun with that new ship! Looking forward to your new videos!
Beautiful vessel ! Get your OUPV license , if you don't already have it. Join the rest of us Captain's . Only thing I would add is flow scan for your engines and family. Leave the rest alone. It's have to perfect the wheel.
Thanks Butch! Yea, I've actually got that on my list of goals for this year so it's certainly something I want to do.... Yes, I'd love to have some sort of fuel monitoring system. I've decided to run the twins for a while and see how they do.
Thanks Lee! Yes, I think you could. The main drawback for these boats are in rough weather you need to slow down. Other than that, fuel capacity might be an issue if you venture to far.
@@TripSmith Your boat has a good amount of glass windows so a lot of light will come it. Tint should help keep it cooler in the cabin during the hotter days of summer. I have to replace the glass on my fore hatch over the vberth and im going darker for this very reason. In fact I plan to go darker on all my portlights. I found my Oday with 1 glassless fore top hatch and only 4 dark portlights (2 on each side) to be cooler inside then my Hunter with 10 small portlights(5 on each side not darkened) and 3 light smoked top hatches. Even though my Hunter has AC it will still help drop the temps so the AC won't run as hard. Last I think it also just looks nicer, I really like the blueish tinted glass that's on some of the Beneteau's.😎 Only thing, you may want to take video and photos from inside cabin and too dark of a tint could get in the way.
I used to work at C Dory in the early 90s, The founder Roy Toland designed and built them as a hobby that turned out to be a successful business for his sons Marc, Ben, and Mack.
Congrats! Looking forward to the first of many Trip Dips off of her. Names that spring to mind- C-dipper, C-more, @ C, Dip Tripper, Lil or Big Dipper #C-YA, , Enjoy!
What sort of storage is available under the salon floor? For some "creature comforts" maybe add a solar panel on the roof and a small battery bank with an inverter charger.
None under the center floor but there is some under the seats and the floor between them under the table. I would like to have solar panels eventually.
@@TripSmith Reason I was thinking under the center floor was keeping the CG as low and as balanced as possible If you haven't thought of it already, since the batteries for this upgrade would be inside the salon, do _NOT_ go with any of the lead acid varieties. LiFePo4 are in use on thousands of boats with zero issues. And prices are dropping all the time.
I think you have to add the diameter of the propeller to those 8" draft in order to be safe and some 12" more for safe clearance, just to prevent absorbing sand and mud in the engine's cooling system or to prevent fouling the propeller in overgrown weed. Of course, excluding unusual or unexpected situation. Just saying.
Yes, the motor does add to the draft. But for beaching and things like that I refer to the boats draft. The motor draft is ever changing from boat to boat and the boats trim so I don't think people refer to it much as a standard.
Well hey Tim!!! Did you see I used your webbing for my cargo net sleeping setup on the skiff? I can't wait for the first trip.... Good to hear from ya sir!
@@TripSmith if you need more just let me know. I pick up a small CC last year. Maybe we can hook up and do some offshore fishing. We killed it last summer.
Dory's are nice boats you are going to enjoy the overnights in it. I bought my 1st pilot house last year and love the overnight trips on the ocean! there is nothing like it. one of the 1st upgrades I did to my boat was a mounted camera system to catch all the good times. you may want to consider it. I always hated carrying go pros around. you always seem to miss the good stuff with them.
Don’t change out the headunit. That’s a fusion marine stereo. One of the better ones you can get. It has multiple zones if you want to run speakers outside the cabin at a different volume than inside. And the water resistance and build quality are nice on those.
Yea... but it doesn't even have bluetooth or a aux import lol So just radio jams is all it'll play. Unless you have a very old school ipod then it will go inside of it....
@@TripSmith haha wow that is old. I didn't realize they made one that didn't have bluetooth. I know you can purchase different adapters depending on what model phone or iPod you have to slide into the stereo. I haven't looked in years so not sure what generation iPhone it goes up to. But you have android anyway don't you? Swap it out for the Appolo then or Wet Sounds new headunit. The build quality on both is hard to beat.
I'm android but I'd want something that has bluetooth to have my phone nearby and not locked down. I'll check em out, still undecided on which ones to go with.
I'm sure you've found it by now, but if not... become a member of cbrats. There you will find tons of great information. Also!!!! By the vintage, I'm assuming you have the wallas 95d stove. You'll find it great when it works, especially in the winter for knocking off the winter chill. But they are cantankerous! It will become a love / hate relationship. You'll love the twins as well. Mine are honda 50's. Maneuvers can be amazing with them. Slip one in forward, one in reverse... and she'll turn a 180 in her own length. Welcome aboard.....these are some sweet little boats.
Oh yea, I've been on C-Brats for a bit now ;) I've already removed the Wallas.... Maybe I can sell it to someone or save it for the next owner, more about that in the next video. I'm actually thinking very hard about repowering with a single engine. These are 2003's and I'd appreciate the piece of mind of a newer outboard that I know has been well maintained. Plus I can save about 178lbs off the boat by moving to a Suzuki 90.... What do you think? Thank you! I'm very thrilled to have her.
@@TripSmith The question of the outboards remind me of the question, ford or Chevy! Man you'll find dozens of opinions leaning either way. If I were in your shoes, I'd run the 50's for a little while. They may grow on you! If they turn into a maintenance nightmare......swap them out for the single you are eyeing, which by the way is a great motor! My little 50's are 2004, carburetor which means I am not near as software / dealer dependent. It works for me, but not for everyone.
Great Boat! See lots of them in the PNW. I'd check the rubber seals in the porta potty flusher, if it's been sitting so long. You'll Thank me later lol

You are welcome sir, thank YOU! Sometime I show how to be safe, sometimes I'm a bad example lol
Sitting here thinking, hurry up and take it on an adventure Trip. Congrats on the new boat, enjoy and be safe.

I think you have to add the diameter of the propeller to those 8" draft in order to be safe and some 12" more for safe clearance, just to prevent absorbing sand and mud in the engine's cooling system or to prevent fouling the propeller in overgrown weed. Of course, excluding unusual or unexpected situation. Just saying.
Yes, the motor does add to the draft. But for beaching and things like that I refer to the boats draft. The motor draft is ever changing from boat to boat and the boats trim so I don't think people refer to it much as a standard.
Buy jet. Drive. Ir airbat. Hover craft
You did your homework.
Tough,safe vessel those C-Dory's.
Well done!
I tried ;) Thanks!
very nice good luck with her
Thank you!
That is nice! I’m looking forward to some cool videos from it.
Well hey Tim!!! Did you see I used your webbing for my cargo net sleeping setup on the skiff? I can't wait for the first trip.... Good to hear from ya sir!
@@TripSmith if you need more just let me know. I pick up a small CC last year. Maybe we can hook up and do some offshore fishing. We killed it last summer.
@@timrussell1476 Will do. Maybe so!
Dory's are nice boats you are going to enjoy the overnights in it. I bought my 1st pilot house last year and love the overnight trips on the ocean! there is nothing like it. one of the 1st upgrades I did to my boat was a mounted camera system to catch all the good times. you may want to consider it. I always hated carrying go pros around. you always seem to miss the good stuff with them.
I agree Scott! I'll certainly be figuring out some sort of camera mounts around the boat ;)

Don’t change out the headunit. That’s a fusion marine stereo. One of the better ones you can get. It has multiple zones if you want to run speakers outside the cabin at a different volume than inside. And the water resistance and build quality are nice on those.
Yea... but it doesn't even have bluetooth or a aux import lol So just radio jams is all it'll play. Unless you have a very old school ipod then it will go inside of it....
@@TripSmith haha wow that is old. I didn't realize they made one that didn't have bluetooth. I know you can purchase different adapters depending on what model phone or iPod you have to slide into the stereo. I haven't looked in years so not sure what generation iPhone it goes up to. But you have android anyway don't you? Swap it out for the Appolo then or Wet Sounds new headunit. The build quality on both is hard to beat.
I'm android but I'd want something that has bluetooth to have my phone nearby and not locked down.
I'll check em out, still undecided on which ones to go with.
Yes it's. More exis last oonger
Great boat.
How much does the boat go for if u dont mind me asking and where did u find it
Maybe in the 40k range these days. I found that one in Galveston Texas. C-Brats is the best place to look for them.
@@TripSmith thank you for the info ! Looks like a great boat! Just added it to my work at it list 😄
@@saltyryan8280 You're welcome! Got a video coming out about my boat more specifically soon 👍🏼. Work Hard?
@@TripSmith I am a watcher of your channel now for the past couple of years. Keep up the great work @ looking forward to watching more.
@@saltyryan8280 Well thank you so much for sticking around. No telling what the future might hold....
never heard of c-dory boats. how reliable are they?
Very reliable from what I've learned.
Nicely Done Trip! Welcome to the CD owners family . I’m such a proud owner , I’m so happy for you! Happy adventuring!
Thankya 'mam! I'm happy for you as well!
Nice boat. 👍🏻 Soon you and the family will be sailing the seven seas. 😎 God bless and have a Happy Easter.
Yes indeed! Happy Easter!
I'm sure you've found it by now, but if not... become a member of cbrats. There you will find tons of great information. Also!!!! By the vintage, I'm assuming you have the wallas 95d stove. You'll find it great when it works, especially in the winter for knocking off the winter chill. But they are cantankerous! It will become a love / hate relationship.
You'll love the twins as well. Mine are honda 50's. Maneuvers can be amazing with them. Slip one in forward, one in reverse... and she'll turn a 180 in her own length. Welcome aboard.....these are some sweet little boats.
Oh yea, I've been on C-Brats for a bit now ;) I've already removed the Wallas.... Maybe I can sell it to someone or save it for the next owner, more about that in the next video.
I'm actually thinking very hard about repowering with a single engine. These are 2003's and I'd appreciate the piece of mind of a newer outboard that I know has been well maintained. Plus I can save about 178lbs off the boat by moving to a Suzuki 90.... What do you think?
Thank you! I'm very thrilled to have her.
@@TripSmith The question of the outboards remind me of the question, ford or Chevy! Man you'll find dozens of opinions leaning either way. If I were in your shoes, I'd run the 50's for a little while. They may grow on you! If they turn into a maintenance nightmare......swap them out for the single you are eyeing, which by the way is a great motor! My little 50's are 2004, carburetor which means I am not near as software / dealer dependent. It works for me, but not for everyone.

Congratulations brother.
Thankya sir!
Great Boat! See lots of them in the PNW. I'd check the rubber seals in the porta potty flusher, if it's been sitting so long. You'll Thank me later lol
I think she'll do great! Yea I need to check those lol
