I too lusted after a 14. But, considering the weight limit, and, how do I say this, our combined , well you know what I mean..Anyway, we are very happy with our 16 footer.
I am also happy with the 16 Cruiser. I just have this fantasy of driving past an East Coast C-Dory dealership along a busy highway where on display is an open C-Dory shell with a tiller outboard. Next to that is the 14, next to a 16 and so on. All in various deep rich colors.
