Thank you for the interior tour of your boat. I like the subtle changes that you have done to make it a pleasant home away from home for your family. We have a 26 and truly enjoy it.

We watch a lot of KZitem boating channels. Your last episode was very good! Hope to see more videos! I think the 26’ venture is the best dory, your additions make it even better!

Very nice improvements you did there. I have never seen a boat that is so versatile with such a shallow draft and economical propulsion and that also has a real pilot house and yet so affordable! I own a Boston Whale 170 and love it, but I can't take a nap below deck or get out of the elements. I am extremely impressed by C-dory. To get a pilot house in a Whaler, it costs about $400,000!

I have a C-Dory 22 and boat on Georgian Bay around Penetang Ontario Canada. It’s fantastic to pull up on Islands and camp for a weekend. I would like to upgrade to the 26 to get more space and amenities.

We had a brand new 23 Venture. Now I'm looking at the 26, with twin engines only or the Tomcat. But I really want a Helmsmen 38E. Little differences in price though.

There needs to be a version where the cockpit takes up more of the boat, to fit a better shower and more storage.

Those teak squares look great! Why don't you replace the carpet with them? It would give the boat a classic look and feel.
@beachdonkey
Жыл бұрын
We thought about it but as you move further towards the bow of the boat, the floor is curved a little. It’s the hull of the boat and takes in that shape. The back is flatter. We’ve actually talked about putting down some type of teak looking sea deck instead of carpet. I definitely agree that the teak wood is a much nicer look and feel.

Great video for planning my own outfitting! Thanks. We recently bought a 2019 26 Venture and are prepping it at our Colorado home for a Great Loop trip next year. Would you mind sharing the company in Gainesville that did your cabinet storage setup? Very nicely done! Amazes me that NMI does nothing to help owners utilize those 2 empty caverns. I’m not willing to do the plastic tote shuffle while living aboard for nine months. ;-)

We are so glad that this video is useful for your Venture as well. My husband used Mirage Manufacturing here in Gainesville, FL. They are the builders of Great Harbour Trawlers, etc. The owner is also a personal friend of my husband's family for many years. Hopefully they will be able to help you or perhaps make a suggestion of someone in your area that you could use. Good luck with the Loop! We hope to do it one day as well. 😉

Dayna, We are so glad that this video was helpful for you! Our water tank is 30 gallons and the gas tanks (there are 2) are 50 gallons each. There was a blackwater tank of 9 gallons but when we switched out the head to a composting head it was removed.

@@daynaserpa9082 Hope Nicole moves quickly past your area. We are in Alachua and have had wind gusts on and off so far. No rain yet. I am confident it will be diminished by the time it comes thru our area. We are landlocked, which is one main reason we chose the CDory. We can trailer it, with ease, anywhere and explore. We just went out of Jacksonville to Jekyll Island last weekend for the Shrimp & Grits Festival...it was a blast. Also it was a very beautiful area to cruise. We will definitely be doing it again. We keep the Beach Donkey on our property in a covered garage, so it is secure and out of the elements.

We like to cruise at 18 knots to get the best gas mileage, roughly 4 - 4.5 miles to the gallon. However, it is very comfortable around 25 knots in 1' chop, just depends on conditions.

The manufacturer is C-Dory in Washington, USA. They do not retail. We purchased ours in 2019 from retailer in Florida, the price has gone up since then. I believe they run around 165k and usually come without electronics. However, don't quote me on the $$$. It is a great, versatile boat!!

@beachdonkey
Жыл бұрын
It really depends on a lot of factors. The boat comes without an engine, electronics, etc. So depending on how it is outfitted it could range from 130’s to 170’s. We looked at other boats with a lot more bells and whistles that are trailerable. They were easily twice the price that we paid. The value of this boat far exceeds the cost, in our opinion. Thanks for the good question.
