Alternatives to C-Dory

[Outdoornate65]

Obviously the C-Dory boats are awesome "adventure" boats.

Thanks to the crew of Desert Dory, my wife and I were able to check-out a C22 in person last night and we are sold on the quaility/utiliity and trailerability of these boats.

So my question is what other brands of boats, with similar characteristics, did you folks consider before landing on C-Dory? Why did you rule them out?

Briefly, what we are looking for in an "adventure" powerboat:

Mothership for kayak adventures
Enclosed cabin
Trailerable (21-25 feet)
Reasonable weight (5000# or less)
Quality construction/reputation
Not primarily for fishing


Thanks in advance, I appreciate your thoughts.
