HERE'S THE AD FOR THE RECORD, SO WE'LL HAVE IT WHEN IT'S CANCELED:
1988 22' C-Dory Offshore for Sale - $12500 (Langley (Whidbey))
1988 C- Dory Offshore with just overhauled trailer; 10" Garmin GPS; Garmin fishfinder; spare fishfinder; new VHF; cabin heater; two Cannon downriggers on quick-release, rotatable mounts; '88 Johnson 140HP V4 2 cycle main engine with less than 800 hours and spare prop; '89 Johnson 8HP 2 cycle kicker with stainless prop guard. Two external trolling motor fuel tanks. Two deep cycle marine batteries with select switch. Integrated main fuel tank holds 40 gals. The vessel gets on the step around 22 MPH, cruises nicely at less than 4000 RPM at 25 MPH, at which speed the very economical fuel consumption on the 140 is about 6 GPH. The trolling motor will operate all day on less than 5 gals. This was a C-Dory factory demo boat, I am the second owner, have now had it for 7 years. It has a convertible canvas top with full side curtains, cabin entry zippered door, slantback canvas that covers cockpit area. The canvas will keep you dry in the rain, but can be removed quickly to fully enjoy the sun. I have never seen another C- Dory in this configuration. Every other 22' Offshore has a hard top with glass side windows and lockable solid door, a setup that adds weight and roll. This boat weighs around 3400 lbs. The main engine was installed at the factory, which enables a top speed of well over 30 MPH. C-Dory, before they went out of business last year, equipped their boats with 90HP engines; this one has 140HP. The combination of the lower weight and increased HP gives it much higher performance than the hard top version. I have all the original boat, trailer, engine and equipment documentation. The lockable cuddy cabin sleeps two and is equipped with a porta-potty (never used). The passenger seats fold down to make two additional single bunks. This is an outstanding fishing boat and that's the way I've got it set up. I've taken it to Canada (Nootka Sound and Esperanza Inlet) for salmon fishing every year since I've owned it. But it is also great for cruising - just pull up the kicker and remove the downriggers, which takes just a few seconds. I paid $19K for it, asking $12,500, which seems a reasonable price. I am selling it because I made a major mistake and went to the last Seattle Boat Show, where my wife browbeat me into buying a new Bayliner Discovery 246 which has a separate head and a galley, two features that are necessary if our maritime relationship is to survive. The C-Dory is dry-stored (always has been) on private property near Langley on the south end of Whidbey Island. I am retired so am available almost any time to show it.
