Looking to see a C-Dory 25 and/or 26 in the Boston area

fpharrington

I have been a boater for a long time and currently have a 21ft Center Console. I have been looking for something a little bigger that I could spend some nights on. Is there anyone out there in the Boston, MA area willing to show me their 25 or 26 C-Dory? My boat is in Salem, MA. Like a bunch of you, I have also been looking at the Ranger Tugs with outboards (23 and 25), but they can be real expensive.

So difficult to see the Dory line-up. Dealers can't keep them in stock long enough and I guess they just can't afford to have "dealer" or "sea trial" boats hanging around for us to see. So much different than car buying.. for obvious reasons.

Good luck in your search.

I spoke to one dealer and it seems that production is real slow. Doesn't seem like they make more than a few a year. Not many in the Northeast.

Let's be blunt: the factory builds to order. So if you want to get a ride in a C-Dory either find an owner in your area by looking at the Brat map or be prepared to travel.
