Any C Dorys on the East Coast?

I'm newly retired, looking to buy a C Dory 22, 23, or 25 for cruising. I've never even seen one on the east coast, (Boston area). I'd love to just walk through one, on dry land or on the water, before buying. Would any owners on the east coast be willing to show off their boat so my wife and I could actually see one of these beauties? Thanks!

We are on the AICW on SE NC coast. You are welcome to come down and check out our 25' Cruiser.
I'm getting ready to put it in for service on a few items however.

Scooper,
If you want to come to the Hampton Roads area, I would gladly give you a tour of a 26, as well as give you and your wife an orientation "boat ride" in this region.
I know a 26 is not on your list, but is very similar and I previously owned a 22, so can tell and show you the differences.
Heck, I have already done that 4 times in the last 30 days and I'm out there almost ever day anyhow...

We've got a 22 Cruiser here in Rhode Island. Let me know if you're in the area and want to get out.

Thank you to everyone for your offers to see your boats!! The Rhode Island location would be perfect.

This 2001 seems like a decent deal with 2019 twin 50hp, some electronics and a trailer for $30,000.00 - just listed on east coast.

Wow! This forum is really great! I've looked all over the internet and hadn't seen this! I'm going to put an offer in on it now.

The Facebook posting now says "Offer pending"- I hope that Scooper is that offer. I agree with those motors, this is a good buy--and close at hand. Be sure and check for usual problems such as floor issues. There is no camper canvas or Bimini--but those can be added and at this 30K price (especially with the newer engines) is desirable.

Regarding the C Dory 22 in New Jersey. I put in an offer for the full asking price, but I was too late. It went fast.

For anyone looking, there is a lesson there.
They do go FAST. Especially the good ones.

Have ALL your ducks ($$$$$) lined up and in your pocket.

Hi Scooper,
I'm located in Cotuit on Cape Cod.
My 2007, 22 cruiser is under a tarp in my yard for the winter.
I'd be happy to show it to you and your wife.
