I answered an ad about a used 2023 220 but when they got back to me. It wasn’t a used boat at all but they wanted to build me a new one. A lot of money to spend. With out being able to see one or get on it or take it for a test run. Hope it works for them but I think they will have to bit the...

Part of it to is if you can wait. I bought a 2008 Cdory 25 new in 2009 for 59900 pretty loaded up. Then in 2011 I also brought a 2009 Seaway 25 coastal Cruisers used it for a couple years and sold it for what. Paid for it. The recession was on. So if you are willing to wait until a recession...

Sounds like Fun. There is a 2006 listed at a dealer in Florida for 49000 If they would take 40000 it would be interesting. There is an add for in on this sight in the for sell section. Have fun. Duff

For that use there is no better boat on the planet i believe. Ive tried a number of different ones and for lakes and river inlets a little camping. I just used my 25 as camper to. Would pull in to a state park or KOA then pull it down to the river or lake pull out to an island. And you have the...

All good point, Kirk makes a good point to know what your primary use of the boat is going to be. If your cruising lakes and river and inlets with a little boaterhoming there is no better boat than a 22 or 25 Cdory. For lots of ocean boating crossing channels. My Dyer 29 lobster boat was way...

Or you could make them an offer based on a Sea trial and Survey. Offer what you would feel good about paying for it.. And if they agree you would have a nice boat. 35 to 40 grand would make that boat pretty interesting.

The Downeast boat builders in Maine are having the same problems they build a great boat just a few a year and have never had to market there boats. people would come in, they would set down decide on the needs of there client and build a hand made boat that is a work of art what ever the buyer...

I just priced out a new dyer 29 hard top and its in the 230000 range makes the cdory sound pretty reasonable

I had a regal express cruiser 29' cruised from seattle to near prince Rupert a few different time and did the same trip in a 25 and long story short the 25 is the way better cruising boat . if your mainly going to entertain friends go out five or ten miles go fast then an express cruiser...

there is a 22 in charter up in Anacortis Washington as well as a 25 ranger tug

There are many good places to go in September in Montana. Saint Mary's up in Glacier. Flathead is great . What are you looking to do I have lived here for fifty years so i've been to most places. El And Bills blog have some nice pictures of many of the places in Montana.Have you looked at...

If your not towing very often the 1/2 ton will do the trick but if you tow very much the half ton is not enough truck. I have pull the 25 both ways and the bigger the tow vehicle the nicer the experience. get in a heavy cross wind the half ton can be a white knuckle experiece but it can be done.

it is interesting thanks for sharing

The semi displacement downeast hull seems to be a great cruising plateform you can cruise at 6 knots and it stays flat at 8, 10, 12, all the way up to around 24 knots its really good in rough water, a following sea can be a little tricky until you figure out how to run it in a following sea...
