C-Pup16 in Los Angeles

I saw a C-Dory center consol fishing boat at Catalina Sales on Bali Way in MDR. It was after 5:00 Saturday and they were closed, so I don't know the price or length but it is probably 22'. Nice boat for that style, great for bay fishing, but a cold and wet ride in the fog and wind blown spray. I took photos but can't get the up-load photos function to add them to C-Pup's photo album. Why would C-Dory not add this boat to their web site?
After a lot of thought & riding crew on different C-Dory models, I would buy the 19' angler were I in the market to move up. Perfect boat for fishing and with a tent canvas enclosure like C-Pup's, a nice enough boat for over night fishing trips. I'd put twin 40s or 50s on it. I would really prefer that the 22' be made in that open (no bulkhead) format and for outboards to be on a bracket. The 19's cockpit is still small for carrying two guys tackle boxes and gear, especially if twin o/b caused me to put a stand up bait tank in the cockpit. (I have an 8-gal tank on C-Pup's swim step).
I also saw a nice stainless frame to hold an ice chest over the transom. It was installed on the 22' cruiser. I wonder if that's aftermarket or a C-Dory product option. I guess I'll be calling Tom at Catalina Sales. Sure can't learn anything from C-Dory's web site.
