Not sure what you mean about the Toland Era:

Here is the early C Dory history:
The first C-Dory, a 22' X 7'6" "Flat Bottom" was introduced in late 1979 at the Seattle sportsman show. The new boat was a tiny cousin of the Marben semi-displacement hulls being built at the time by Roy Toland Inc. doing business as Marben Marine. The immediate success of C-Dory's original 22' model led to the development of the line into what it is today. Roy Toland Inc soon formed a new corporation around the new boat line, giving it the C-Dory name. Roy Toland Inc. sold it's tooling for and interests in the Marben line to Golden Star Yachts. C-Dory Inc. acquired the the remaining assets of the Marben Company and its name. Marben Marine operates today as a Dealer for all C-Dory Inc.
The boats built in this early era pre"our" C Dory line were:
Marben 24' ( "V" Bottom ) ( All custom models )
Marben 27' X 8' ( Double Ended, Displacement ) ( All custom models ) Marben 27' X 10' ( Semi-Displacement ) ( All custom models ) Marben 31' X 10' ( Semi-Displacement ) ( All custom models ) Marben 37' X 12' ( Semi-Displacement ) ( All custom models ) C-Dory 10' ( Row Boat )
What he means is before the company was sold to the Reynolds in the early 2000's era. There are pluses and minuses to both "era" boats. The 22's were still made by the older factory crew up until about 2004 or so. So there is very little difference in construction. The newer boats began to come with better features. These included flat cockpit decks, better bilge pump systems, some improvements in the interior.
Either hull will be fine--I have never felt that construction after the sale was compromised.
1987 is when the hull was changed from a flat iron type to a variable V dead rise (very low dead rise or "V " at the transom.). All boats since then have been the same molded hull. There were wooden teak hand rails, there was a Decaboard plywood aft bulkhead. I feel that the fiberglass is slightly better, but owned a 1993 boat with the plywood, and no issues were present.

No problem with that combo. A 2011 Honda 90 will be an injected engine, with a good size alternator. The hours are about right for moderate use. Do look for issues with hull moisture in the cored part. Not a deal killer, but should be repaired if there is moisture in the hull or deck.
