Had I seen this, I would have bought this over my 26 Venture which I felt I got a good deal on. That price is quite good even without a trailer. That being said, I wonder if that hull hasn't had some damage at one point or another and that you are not looking at nice shiny gel-coat, but perhaps...

Thanks for the update Casey! The previous owner supposedly did a die test, but I'm planning on pulling the tank and testing anyway. I'll also definitely do the locker drain since that should be a relatively easy fix. What is interesting is that from what I can tell, I am hull number 16 for the...

Thanks for all of the input guys. I went ahead and ordered up the hatches today. Next up is the epoxy. I'll let you know how the project ends up going. I won't be taking it on until we have the trailer delivered and the boat moved down to Oregon, so it will be a few weeks yet. Currently just...

I noticed some of the great custom shelving you have above the starboard window and behind the sink/wallas. How did you go about mounting that to the cabin? Also, was that outside steering station a factory option? That is slick!

I have been busy reading the epoxy thread which has been very helpful btw. Thanks for the clarification! So one other question... I assume I can just walk into pretty much any West Marine and pick this stuff up. Is that correct or do I need to order it all up online?

Thanks Peter... that is the boat and we are quite excited. It has definitely been a process getting to this point, but I think she will be a good fit. There are a few outstanding issues to clear up, which it appears there always are with these boats, but we think we can get it all figured out...

So, I've gone through a number of these threads by now and have a pretty good idea of what needs to be done. One question for the pros though. After I have removed any wet core and let everything dry back, am I supposed to almost "paint" the dry core with liquid epoxy and then after that...

Sorry to revive this dead thread, but having just recently purchased a CC26, as I was going through this thread, I went out and did some checking and sure enough, it too has this issue. I was told it was one of the last CC26s built and the details of this thread hold that to be true since it...

Bob, where do I find those epoxy sticks? Someplace like West Marine?

So, on this Venture 26 we just bought, I noticed that literally all of the rivets attaching the rub rail to the boat were exposed. I know that in every other C-Dory I have seen, these have been either glassed over and/or covered with epoxy. I am assuming that leaving these exposed is just asking...

Thought we would formally say hi. I've been lurking and chatting on and off of this forum for several years now. We finally found the right boat at the right price for us. It can certainly take a very long as we had several botched attempts All is all, we are very excited. The boat is currently...

Just as an FYI, in case it comes back up on eBay again. I received a notice from eBay that the original seller had backed out and that I was the successful winner of the boat and to contact the seller to make arrangements. I verified that the same message was waiting for me when I actually...
