Alaska test run?

Hello....I'm new to the forum, and shopping boats. I'm partial to the dory hull largely because my dad spent time in the Aleutians doing marine mammal research in a a dory, and has convinced me that they're the way to go.

I've never been on a dory-style boat, but am looking at buying a C-Dory 24 or 26....I'm wondering if there's anyone here in South Central AK that could take me out for a bit to see? I'd certainly pay for gas and reserves.

Thanks,

Andy

Might be worth looking at?

I would agree. Good price and stored indoors when it matters.

I agree, that is a great deal for a boat which has been repowered with a Suzuki 175. It will probably not be for sale long before purchased. Many had the 130 Honda, which was marginal. I would pull the vacuum flush head, and either put in a composting toilet or one of the Traveler with self contained 9 gallon holding tank (as boats later were fitted) or a porti potty.

If you want a 25 don't delay.
