The 26' CD for sale in Gustavus, Alaska in one of 6 that they had and used as charter boats. I think this one is the last one. I looked into it last fall but decided no. The hull is the same as the two that are shown in my photo album. The gunnels and house are different though.
Also I just got done kicking myself in the butt AGAIN for not buying that last new ProAngler in Fla. last year. What a dope i was.
Maybe there was a reason. I am still looking for something different but having a hard time replacing my old 22' Angler.

Jack- there was still about six of those pro-anglers running around Gustavus this summer. I snapped some pics of a few of them. There is a guy in Pelican that has one of them also.
Last winter, on a tip from a friend, I e-mailed that outfit with the c-dorys looking for summer work....damn glad I never heard back from them and ended up in Elfin Cove instead. Those poor buggers have a long drive to get to the good salmon fishing in the ocean and when they get back they have to deal with that crummy transient dock and mooring bouys....arg

Hell, I know liitle about anything but speculate about many things 
I spent most of a day killing time at the dock in Gustavus and had a chance to eyeball a few of them rascals up close and best way to put it would be "work boat like" A charter boat is going to have some bumps and bruises, your always going to have that wayward gaff or 3# halibutt weight banging into the gel coat but hell, it's a C-dory, wash out the puke, throw a good coat of wax on it & maybe update the interior and you have a nice boat..........if my eyes didn't decieve me, those boats looked like they had a self bailing deck, at any rate, the deck was not the standard issue C-D, probably due to the different hull design.
I'll some better pictures next year

Last year I traveled to Juneau to look at a 2003 CD-25 that had been used as a fishing charter. The marine surveyor stated the boat was in 'very good' condition with many years of life remaining. I was shocked when examining the boat. The boat was beat to crap, corrosion was everywhere (in fact many of the 'notorious' galvanived angled brackets discussed on prior threads were completely corroded in half), and parts were missing. Hard to believe a 3-4 year old boat could be in such poor shape. I'm convinced the seller and the surveyor were buddies.
It was a good lesson for me though and convinced me (no, actually my wife) to buy new. Yeah!!
The lesson: All boats need TLC- and be especially skeptical of the condition of prior Alaskan fishing charters!
