2019 C-Dory Venture 26 - Located Antelope Point Marina, Az

justkeepswimn

Happy New Year to all. Smile

Update on 2019 Venture 26 for sale:

Boat is currently in dry storage at Antelope Point Marina on Lake Powell. Yamaha 175HP XA outboard electronics show a grand total of 9 hours use on the motor. Warranty on Yamaha 175 (transferable) is good through 12/13/2022. Warranty on kicker - Yamaha 9.9 four stroke outboard with autopilot (transferable) is good through 05/04/2023. Boat/motors have been winterized after 6 month period at marina. Hull has been professional cleaned by Antelope Point Marina staff.

Backstory:
The pandemic kept this brand new C-Dory Venture 26 sitting - unused - in the Pacific Northwest, in dry storage, for over a year. In frustration I finally had her professionally delivered - on her own trailer (EZ Loader TAB 21-25 62 - no salt water) - to Lake Powell. Since that time she's only been out on the lake with my family once for 1/2 a day.
Therefore there is a grand total 9 hours on the Yamaha 175 and zero hours of use on the kicker. This C-dory is fully loaded - even has a satellite TV system (never used) - and a complete rear deck canvas enclosure. Head, galley, onboard water system, diesel stove/heater - never used. XM radio/weather - unused, Garmin Electronics Package, GPS Map 8610xsv, MFD/sonar, VHF 215 AIS w/ GPS, Fantom Solid State 18 radar - unused, Garmin Reactor kicker autopilot -unused, and a Lewmar windlass - unused, etc.
Again, thinking it doesn't make sense to keep such a fine little vessel that - it would seem - is not going to be used by my family and myself. Anyone interested, please feel free to contact me for additional information. -Cheers

another drive by posting. Looks like they joined to post an ad. Sold the boat somewhere else and didn't bother to check back in here again.

Seller contacted me by email and said the boat was still for sale.

Hard to tell it from this thread.

Jan 11 and Jan 21 people asked for pics and if it was still for sale NO RESPONSE From seller. This often happens when people join ni order to sell a boat and then never reply to interested parties.

No skin in this game but if I were trying to sell a boat, you can bet that I would at the very least have the courtesy to reply on the forum to individuals who wanted info or to know if it was for sale.

Oh my!

Again, I have responded to everyone who has emailed me for more information on my C-Dory Venture 26 and - I believe - to everyone who has only inquired on the forum. Not sure why my post has created so much darn anxiety from people who are not even in the market for a boat. (?)

Anyone interested, it is best to email mail me so that I can provide more info, photographs and my telephone number. My asking price is $150k which is well less than what I have invested in the boat and the various electronics and other accessories.

My listing is here on the C-Brats forum because these members, these good people, are the heart and soul of this boating community.

As I explained to a gentleman who questioned the appropriateness of my listing on the C-Brats site, I was hoping to take delivery of my C-Dory and take part in the C-Dory gathering at Friday Harbor right before the pandemic hit. I had communicated with a number of good people from the C-Brats site who were also going to attend that meeting. Well, the pandemic certainly put an end to that!

Today, a couple of years later, I've sold my house on San Juan Island and find myself living far away (Arizona) from the environment that I purchased my C-Dory Venture 26 to explore. Thus the listing.

In closing, let me say I do respect this forum and the people who are here. I'm NOT here to take advantage of the site or the good folks who participate in this community. My thought was that it was appropriate to list my vessel here first.
If my listing is really a problem for anyone in this community, I can certainly take it down, no hard feelings. -Cheers. Smile

Hi justkeepswimn,

I'm really sorry to hear your boating plans in the PNW got derailed by the pandemic. I assure you that for folks interested in finding good C-dorys on the market, any posts are appreciated and I'm certain serious buyers will not hesitate to reach out for any details. There are not going to be many 2019 26 Ventures on the market and I can't think of a better place than here to find the right person for the opportunity. Good luck with it!

Thank you for the encouragement and the kind words!
She is truly a fine vessel and I would certainly like to find her a good home with someone who will appreciate the complete package I've assembled.
-Cheers...
