Thanks!

The information is easily obtained at the C Dory web site:
C Dory 25 cockpit is 4'8" long and 7'1" wide
Venture 23 cockpit is 5'1" long and 6'1" wide.
Thus the area of the C Dory 25 is larger than the Venture 23 by a couple of square feet, mostly because of the increased width, even then the Venture 23 is 5" longer. Also look at how the "step" is molded into the 23. _________________ Bob Austin

Why would the 25 be wider? They both have a 8''6" beam? Is it the small steps on each side in the 23? I plan to cover those with bench seats. If so then the wouldn't the Venture 23 have a bigger cockpit footprint? I've only seen the one 23 at Hontoon.... |

The 23 is 8 feet wide & the 25 is 8.6 feet. As Bob suggested, the C-Dory website gives the specs. _________________ Jay and Jolee 2000 22 CD cruiser Hunkydory

Also the major feature of a "Semi Dory" is the flare of the hull sides, with a relatively narrow hull bottom. Two hulls could have the same "Beam" of 8.5 feet and conventional boat might have a cockpit floor over 8 feet wide, and a semi dory would have a bottom beam of only 7 feet. |
