A while back, I posted a photo of this boat that has been in storage for at least as long as we have owned our boat. This is NOT our boat. I did some checking, and the owner is interested in selling.
The boat is a 1989 C-Dory 22 Cruiser. It has been sitting unused for at least 4 years, maybe longer. It has a Johnson 70 hp 2-stroke that appears quite rusty, and a Johnson 15 kicker, similar condition. The hull is quite dirty, maybe mold or mildew. No idea of the condition of the interior. The EZ Loader trailer is not in road worthy condition - the tires are flat, probably rotted; the front jack is non-functional; no idea if the hubs/lugs/springs are rusted solid.
There is some fishing equipment (downriggers, etc) that is included, no idea what condition. There are solar panels on the roof, no idea if they are functional.
When I spoke with the owner today, he said everything was working when the boat was last used. He felt the boat would "clean up" well... frankly, it looks like a definite project boat to me. The Texas sun here in the Tropical Tip can be brutal... I wax our boat about 3 times a year, and it needs it. This boat has not had that kind of care.
BUT, if someone is looking for a low price entry into the C-Dory world, AND is willing to put in a LOT of effort, probably re-power, and willing to do a lot of trailer work in the lot or bring a flatbed... well, this may be what you're looking for. The owner told me he would take $9,000 for the boat/trailer, AS IS.
Not my boat, no affiliation with the owner; today is the first time I've talked with him. If there is a problem with this post because it isn't my boat, feel free to yank this post. I've seen this boat when I come and go from storage, and it would be nice if it could find a home where it will get the care it needs and get used.
