I am an and guy who has been boating all my life, but at my age, 85, I need a quality small lightweight boat. I have owned a C Dory 22 but now want a 14. If anyone is considering selling theirs in the Pacific Northwest, please contact me at 250 892-8763. If it is good shape consider it sold and I will drive and pick it up immediately.
Thanks for making it possible for an old man to boat again.
 
How about this one in CA? 18 footer, a little more boat, but not too much to tow.

Thanks for thinking about me. I thought I knew most boat makes but never heard of a Toland. Do you know where it is listed. I would like to see the specs. Thanks again.

Just found pictures of the Toland Boat. A cuite little boat but if i am to go this size, I would stick with the C Dory 16 - a know brand.

Hi LaneB,
I had a C-Dory 14 that I sold a couple of years ago. We towed it behind our bigger boat to use for fishing. They're cute as a new puppy and a lot of fun, but their size creates some issues. They're so narrow that they can be tippy, because of the short distance between the motor and enclosed cockpit it is very loud, and the rooftop is so short that I often banged my head when I jumped up to grab a rod. The 14's are also very rare, so it might be awhile before you find one. If I was looking to buy today, I would get a 16, much more usable and easier to find.

Thanks for your comments on the CDory 14. I will take them into consideration as I move forward. The 16 requires a larger vehicle to tow it, and launching the larger boat may be more challenging. I really am not in a hurry but hope to be back boating next spring. Again thanks for pointing out that the limitations of the 14.
