Megan, my offer stands. I sent you my phone number via PM.

Megan, we have several folks on this site in Virginia. I bet some of them would help you get your existing boat off the trailer, get your trailer road ready, and you could go to New Orleans and back in a weekend. Pour some Arjay in the transom (you already know how to clean out the bad wood in a transom), get a motor, and you and your son will be out on the water before the summer ends.

Gave up when the sringer was bad all the way to the front. And in the 1972 that is under the cabin. Not good design. Keel also slightly rotten. Can't take it. Love the offer of help!!! Still want a cuddy for the ocean. Now I am so bumbed by the design of emptying into the bildge I have, I hate to say it, been looking at Grady Whites. $9000 range. If you know of any killer deals I may swing back. But the NADA book value has to be consistant with $9000. Hope not to PO anybody Still love the look of the V. I am probably taken her to the bone yard tomorrow as I need to bring the project to closure.

failed,
Megan

just curious as to what your reasons are for wanting a cuddy? if your not going to leave the boat in the water, or just plan on fishing the rivers, then the cuddy isnt much benefit on the chesapeake.

Can't say I agree with that. If you go out in the winter, you'll stay a whole lot warmer behind the windshield and cuddy cabin than you will in a center console. I'm on the Chesapeake in VA, too - just down near the mouth of the Bay.

Lower Chesapeake here....I love my center console but she is def in the minority down here....cuddys abound and seem very functional on the bay! I think it just depends on how you use the boat, no matter the body of water....

i have a 76 cuddy, my only issue with it is the bow is a bit heavy and can scoop a bit of water from time to time, i live in va beach. probably wouldnt have any problem if id pay more attention to the weather report and quit anchoring so close to the channels, big damn wakes. i fish, thats about it. got the cuddy because it was too good a deal, and the wife demands a certain amount of privacy. got to agree definatly alot of cuddys around here. got to give the hull design credit though, got caught in a storm a few weeks back, 3 ft chop on top of about 3ft waves, opened her up and brought her back rather easily, crabpots be damned.lol
