Like I need another.   I picked up a neglected 16' Sea Dorry for a good price yesterday.


Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Lee, more pics please.
looking forward to your assessment on what needs to be addressed,

Very jealous of your boat house/shop :-)

More photos this evening.

The shop is a short term rental where I am working on a large order of driver training kits. I wish it was mine.  Next week it will be full of pipe and my crew.

Nice boat Lee, a good project to keep you young.🙂
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Would be great to take that boat out on the lake where I can sit under cover as I'm supposed to limit my sun exposure.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Always liked that hull. Won't do the 45 knots in 20 foot seas that Ted demands, but it will always get you there.

Please understand Ted, I love your boat, and you always give me and my kidneys the ride of our lives!

still jealous, good to have access to a large space like that.
driver training kits???

Quite a few c-dorys here in MI, they rarely change hands and when they do, the asking is nearly the same as a new one.

Bryan, I use a Costco sun hat (mini sombrero ) to keep the sun off, I gotta watch ma tan  ;D

She is home now, well in the neighbors pasture.


Time for the pressure washer.  I took 6" of pine needles and poplar seeds out of her.


My employer built a new boat and it will be mine.

Yes, I had a charged battery and a tank of fresh gas and it fired right up.  It needs spark plugs.

She is at the back of the Liberty hiding her Bobbitt knife.

Yes, it is a algae harvester.  The header belt has not been installed yet.

Business must be decent if they can spring for a new boat.
