I might be looking for a place to store a very special C-dory for awhile...

Thanks for all the replies, it is helpful to read the experiences of fellow Brats! The funny dilemma I have is that I love being out in the open cockpit space, and I also love the cabin (especially the C-dory cabin). Like someone once said, every boat is a compromise.. Maybe a 22' Angler would...

I'm curious about the pro's and con's of hard vs convertible tops. My only experience on bigger water is with a hard top (C-dory!). But when I'm out in my little 14' river Dory (driftboat) I also enjoy being completely out in the open air! (Until it gets too cold or windy or rainy of course)...

Thanks for giving me a belly laugh!

Thanks for all these great responses! I have spent two weeks per summer living and cruising in my 16' Cruiser. It's been great, but then again I am a "solo backpacker" type. This leads me to another questions, about hardtop boats vs. soft-tops.. I'll make a new thread for that!

I get the general idea... not an overnight cruising boat. But where do you draw the line? I'm curious about different people's definitions. Sleeping Cuddy's / V-berths... I'd say a 16' Angler is a Day boat. But a 19' and 22' Anglers do have sleeping cuddys.. Yet they are not really "Cruisers"...

Thankyou!

I guess I should have mentioned my location...

Hi All! Well I'm officially addicted to C-dory's. Now I'm looking to go up from my 16's to a larger one (19'-22'). But I have no room for anything other than a 16' at my current home. I'm looking for either indoor storage, OR outdoor storage.* I've heard there are commercial places such as...

It seems from what you all are saying... that regardless "inflation", a C-dory could sell for about the SAME numerical dollar amount 20 years later (if in about the same condition)... Like: Bought for $25k in 2000. Kept in a garage and not used. Sold for $25k in 2020... Sound about right?

Does any have any idea if a smaller C-dory sold 20 years ago for say $15,000, and if you put the same boat on the market today, (and all other things being equal) what would be it's value now? So this is really a questions about (a) whether C-dory's appreciate of go down in value over time...

I guess I was thinking of "oem" cushions, from the factory.. But using the deck underneath is probably better..! Are they all just over 2 feet? seems the bigger boats would have more vertical space??

OK, next question... Height from cushion to ceiling in V-Berths.. 16' - about two feet. 19' ____? 22' _____? (assuming Angler and Cruisers are the same?)

YES.. thank you!

Either there's something wrong with that formula.., or I am missing something... For the 16's: 16 (L) x 6.5 (Beam) = 104 104/15 = 6.9333 But the boat is officially rated for 4 people...

Thanks for all the informative replies! I don't intend to take lot's of people on a cruise, but just curious for short runs like boat camping at a lake, or fishing.. And, I'm realizing now my question is more specific. I'm wondering about specifically about the official passenger rating for...

I am having a hard time finding this info. Also, the C-dory website has taken down all the info on 16's and 19's... :-( I know a 16' is rated fr 4 people what about 19's _______? What about 22's _______?

Hello All, I want to buy (another) boat, but guess what, I don't want to pay for the whole thing! Bear with me... I use my boat(s) occasionally. They sit most of the year unused. But I still love them, and cherish the time I do get to use them. Let's say you have two neighbors, and the...

What is the BEAM of an 18'? If it's the same as a 16, then I think 60-70hp is fine. If it's the beam of a 19' or 22' then probably under-powered?

Do these 18' models have the same beam as a 16', or same as a 19'/22'? Also, anyone know the towing weight?
