I dont have one anymore but I'd be happy to talk to you about my experience in owning one. Just PM me and Ill send you my cell number

Hi Sean. I would definitely go with the 25. Enclosed head, bigger beam, more space, bigger motor(s). Yes, the price difference is very large.... but life is short. 🙂

Hey Jim, my wife and I live in Quincy (Wollaston area). I've had several C Dory's over the years and would love to help you in your decision. Gimme a call or text anytime, or we could even meet in person too if you like. There aren't many C Dory's in Boston and Mass. But occasionally you'll...

I had an 07. Not much to worry about on C dory's other than the coring and the engine. My cockpit hatch had a good amount of rotted wood and the little step was rotted too. Not a big deal. It can easily be pulled out and repaired. While pulling it out , it's also a good time to inspect the fuel...
