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!!!!!
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.
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.
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
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
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!! 🛥
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.
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.
👍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. 🤗💝🤗
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!
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!
Good looking ride! Twin engines always deliver a sense of security when going out to sea. Congrats on the success of your channel. This will be a great addition to your adventures!
Trip, my parents repowered their 25 C dory from twin Honda bf90s to a single 2020 merc 200 swinging a large diameter 4 blade prop. That annoying harmonic oscillation of twins in the cabin went away. End grain balsa hulls like Cdory are very stiff and transmit vibration readily. Single new engine is soooo much more pleasant inside. Top speed went from 31kn to 38kn. Minimum on plane speed went from 19.5kn to 17 kn. Fuel consumption halved. The small engines don't counter rotate and there is a ton of efficiency loss. A 150 would push a 22 or even their heavy (Liveaboard, AC and genny) 25 nicely.
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.
You're so cute! (Like little brother cute). I love how excited you are!!! You and your family are going to have some fun times in your new boat! I'm looking forward to watching more videos 🙂
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
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.
Oh dear, she is just lovely, and congratulations! Praying great adventure, good fishing, and safety for you and all your passengers, two and four legged alike. When you Christen her, bless her, too.
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!
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!
Really neat boat man I love what you said about expanding and exploring near things even those they didn’t come from your roots. That’s what I’ve been doing in my kayaking adventures and your channel has inspired me a lot. Thanks a lot buddy keep up the great work so happy for you and your new boat! 🤙
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

This is amazing trip! From a Paddleboard to a cabin boat. What a journey! Next it will be an oceanliner 😆😆. Haha love the videos Trip and can’t wait for the adventures from this!
Nice boat Trip! If that carpet is what I think it is where it allows water, fish guts etc to pass through then yes they still make DECKadence marine carpet. Good stuff! Can’t wait to see what kind of adventures you take her on.
It's actually Poseiden Flooring. Just checked and they don't make it any longer. Looked at the stuff you mentioned and it looks pretty much the same. Nice stuff..... I can't wait either!
Now that’s a sweet set up! Looks like she was designed to be durable, reliable, and relaxing for those cruises! Nice purchase man! Can’t wait to see what adventure she leads you to. Trip dips are gonna be massive now with that air! Hahaha
Pretty cool Trip! I saw one of these at Lake Eufaula a few years ago and was fascinated with it. I can't wait to see it in action. I'm sure you and the family will love it! 👍
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.

Nice to see a boat video that's not totally out of reach, for a change.
I want to thank you Trip! Thank you for inspiring all of us to "GET OUT THERE!" and showing us how fun it is and how to be safe doing it!
You are welcome sir, thank YOU! Sometime I show how to be safe, sometimes I'm a bad example lol
Nice boat! Would love to see it someday.

Very nice boat for its size! Well done. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy her.
It truly is Ken! Will do!
You're gonna have a lot of fun in that boat.
This is cool. Glad to find a channel getting a boat like this ready for the water. Can't wait to see what happens and see her floating.
Glad you think so J S! Yes, She will be getting ready for the water soon. I can't wait either.....
I love how excited your are. Can't wait to see her on the water.
Me to Jonny!!!!
Omg I'm obsessed with this boat now that you've shown it to me. Great purchase!
Awesome Kyle! I think so too!
Very nice. Simple, with everything's you need and nothing you don’t. I like it!
Exactly!
C-Dory's are awesome. Definitely my dream boat. Looking forward to see you take it on some awesome adventures! Congrats.

brilliant!!!! Put two thin flexible solar panels on roof and a couple batteries for running an electric trolling motor.

Sure is! I did a quite a bit of looking and research ;)
