I have the Nikon D70 and love it. It came with a 35 ~ 75 MM lens that I used until last week. I bought the 18 ~ 200 MM VR lens and have found it to be a very good product. It is a little lighter and a tad shorter than the 35 ~ 70 and the focus is much faster. The VR feature works very well...

We did install Diesel IOs in the 27’ & 26’ C-Dorys. The weight was just too great to put the smallest one offered into a 22’ C-Dory. We did try a Yanmar Diesel Outboard (27 HP) and it worked OK but the smell was terrible. Noise was greater than a 2 stroke 90Hp, vibration was not too bad. You...

All C-Dorys built by the original company (DOR prefix in serial number) have their windows bedded in silicone. Protect the area around the window with tape and use a thin 1” putty knife. It helps if someone helps by pushing on the inside of the window. Do not cheat and try and pry the window out...

Correction; Only Ben Toland (and other Cape Cruiser owners) lost in the lawsuit brought by C-Dory Marine. All other Tolands and the original C-Dory Inc “company” were found not guilty of the Charge of violating a non-compete agreement. Mark Toland

Hello, I am the founder and former President of the original C-Dory company. I have been a very interested observer of how the new company and its owners have been doing. As an industry insider I hear about much of what is happening behind the scene. I think Joe has hit the nail squarely on the...

Hi We tested the Yanmar diesel Outboards on the one of the first of the 22’ C-Dory Cruisers back in 87. It ran smooth and was fairly quiet for a diesel. We considered providing it as a factory option but the lack of service support for the motor made that idea unworkable. The 27 Hp would give...

Hi From my experience there is often hidden damage in the bow after such accidents. Inspect the area around the bow eye inside and outside the hull. Remove the V berth cushions and inspect the joint where the hull is glassed to the v berth liner. During impact the sides of the hull would...

Hi It was not built by the original Marben or C-Dory inc. We never built a boat made of wood or a boat of that size or configuaration. Mark Toland

You are correct that I sold the C-Dory name to a new company that was formed to receive the assets that were purchased ~ C-Dory Marine Inc. I am not a part of that company. My old company was however still incorporated and still had assets and obligations. I do still represent the C-Dory...

C-Dory Inc only built 5 of the 25’ C-Dory. Numbered 001 ~ 006. The others are, how shall say this, being built by C-Dory Marine Inc without license. Please everyone feel free to debate. I just want to make sure you guys don't give away what I hadn’t sold. Mark Toland President of C-Dory Inc.

I would like to respectfully remind the members that C-Dory Inc did not sell the design rights for the C-Dory molds it sold to C-Dory Marine. Only the production rights to some models were sold. If you search under my name as author you will find a previous thread on the subject. Mark Toland...

The boat was light and narrow. Most jet powered hulls shape the chine to give the hull good tracking ability, to make up for the lack of a rudder. This hull “originally anyway” had no provision for directional stability. The original owner would take the boat to speed and then spin the wheel...

The accident happened when the pilot drove the boat head-on into a raised parking area that jutted out into the lake. The bank was made of large rock and was about 8 feet high. C-Dory Inc built two hulls with “v” bottoms, a 21’ and a 26’ Mark Toland

That was a one of a kind boat. Our head laminator bought the hull and deck house from C-Dory Inc and he filled in the outboard well and installed a inboard jet pump. It was well built, it once hit a rocky breakwater and flew over 40’ before hitting the car. No damage to the hull was incurred...

Hi 84 was the first year we built the C-Dory (most under the Hunky dory name) We did install 5 in bow tanks on hulls that were fitted with 90 hp Suzuki motors and removable fish holds under the motor well. Mark President C-Dory Inc

Don't under estamate the effects of a dirty bottom. This time of year your bottom can become fury very quickly. If your boat is moored check its bottom befor spending your mony on motor repairs.

Get your facts straight before shooting your mouth off. I Mark Toland sold some of my company assets to the C-Dory Marine Corporation. None of the owners of Cape Cruiser were stockholders in my company. And I have no stake in the CC Company.

Hi everyone My name is Mark Toland and I am the president of C-Dory Inc., the company that developed the C-Dory line of boats and built them until October of 2000. Boats built by C-Dory Inc. have the DOR prefix to their serial numbers. I have been following the discussion on the manufacture of...
