SuhWeeeeet! Thanks Byrdman Pat!

I saw the center console line drawing at the boat show but didn't see this one.

This is the line drawing from the factory. Now to get a feel for the scale of size compared to a 22 or 25. The head has 6' 2" head room.

I had seen the line drawing a couple of days ago. My comments were as follows: The foreward bunk seems a steo backward. I wonder how big it is; generally the diagnal foreward bunks have one side which has smaller sleeping length.--also it is a crawl over--the partner. I have seen these bunks in a number of production boats and don't care for them. (a rough calculation gave a max diagnal length of about close to 8 feet (probably as much as the TC 255--but the forward part of the bunk is only a bit over 5 feet.

There is no hanging locker and appears to be less storage than in the Tom Cat 255 or C Dory 25. I am also hearing that in the new interiors (22) that the area under the table is not available for storage as it was in the older boats.

The plus is the head out of the main cabin has a sink and slightly larger than the one on the smaller boats. The larger dinette which looks like it could sleep two people. But the forward seat does not look like a full two person seat (about 36" wide). The galley appears to be larger--score a plus for the cooking crew!

The 9' 6" I see as a real detriment to trailering.

Pretty! Looks like a 22' Cruiser on steroids was its inspiration. Thumbs Up

I do think the rounded corners overhead the bunks looks better than the 25's boxed corners. Thumbs Up

Wish the 25's had that. Adds to its charm. I love that salty look. Cabin has a neat layout as well. Looks like a fine marina boat.

Is this more of a V hull or a shallow draft Dory hull? Would like to see what the under side looks like. Top side looks great! Nice ............I want it! Love

Greetings to all of you. To provide perspective from the factory, I have some new, updated information. Based on the dimensions of the boat, we now intend to launch the boat as the C-Dory 29 Venture. Attached are updated representations of the boat plus general specifications and features. I would also like to add that the boat will feature a 10 degree deadrise. A 3-D rendering display is now in place at the Seattle Boat Show and includes base boat show pricing featuring diesel IB power.

We intend to start building the first boat in about 3 weeks, taking about 2 months to complete. This amount of time is a concentrated effort on our part to make sure the boat is right before full scale production commences. As such, sea trials and photo shoots will be scheduled for the end of April.

We look forward to the market's response to this product as well as your own. Thanks for your continued support.

Tom

Allright, looking quite interesting. I didn't see the price in any of the attachments though, Although I'm sure I'm not ready to step up that far yet, 25 first. The topside seems to have alot of mods. Recessed cleats etc... Cool.

Welcome Aboard Tom!!!!

It is truly great to see you on our owners site.

We are a bit differant as a group than most folks that hang about the docks with their big yellow power cords hooked up....but then.... you more than likely picked up on that at the factory party.

Again. Wecome...and your gonna need to plan a trip down south for a gathering in the spring... working around the production of this new hull of course.

Still one of the neatest C-Dory days was the late afternoon when Jeff and crew brought that new, hull #1 of the TC255 out to Blakely Island. WOW..that was exciting, and for sure made kids of all of us gathered about the docks. Hummm...maybe another Blakely Island party gang????

Is it just me but don't you think it's weird that C-Dory would choose to call the new boat, the 29 Venture? Weird because the Cape Cruiser 23 was called Venture as well. Confused

Hi Tom,

Nice to hear from the factory folks on this forum. I'm assuming plenty of weight with this size boat, but it appears that most of the seating (double pilot seat, 4 person dinette) is all on the starboard side. The only seat on the port side is the co-pilot seat. What will you be placing on the port side to offset some of this movable load? Nice that it looks like the rest of "the family." Good luck with this project.

Best wishes,
Jim B.
