Worth knowing
C-Dory; cover, cost and conditions
C-Dory (C-Dory 16' Angler) comes from Kent, Washington, south of Seattle. Roy Toland started the boats in 1979, and the first C-Dory, a flat bottomed 22 footer, was shown at the Seattle Sportsman Show late that year. It was a small cousin of the semi-displacement hulls Toland was building at the time as Marben Marine. The brand later changed hands several times, passing through Reynolds and Co. and Fluid Marine before ending up with Northwest Marine Industries. The name points back to the dory, the classic flat bottomed North American fishing boat with flared sides. That heritage is how you recognise one: a narrow hull that fits a road trailer, with a compact wheelhouse sitting on top.
Our model records list twelve designs: six motorboats, four motor yachts and two power catamarans. The oldest entry is the 26' Venture from 2006, the rest start in 2007 or later, and nine run into the most recent build years. The Angler comes as 16', 19' and 22', the Cruiser as 16', 22' and 25'. The Venture line includes the 23' Venture, 23' Venture Sport, 26 Venture Sport and 26' Venture. Two Tomcat catamarans complete the list, the 255 Tomcat and its Sport version, both 7.77 metres. The shortest boat is the 16' Cruiser at 4.64 metres, the longest the 26' Venture at 7.89 metres. The 16' Angler ends in 2021, the 16' Cruiser and 19' Angler in 2024.
C-Dory (C-Dory 16' Angler) owners tend to put serious miles on the road as well as on the water. Before buying a used boat, check the trailer frame, bearings, brakes and lights, because a long tow is part of the package. The flat bottom sections forward can pound in a chop, so look for stress cracks in the gelcoat around the bow and the cabin corners. Windows and door seals on the wheelhouse should be dry, and the cabin floor solid. Most models run outboards, often a main engine with a small kicker for trolling, so ask for service records on both. On the Tomcat, inspect both hulls and the bridge deck between them.

As the C-Dory 22' Angler, C-Dory 22' Cruiser,
C-Dory 23' Venture by C-Dory and 6 more series are still in production,
parts are available and repair costs are predictable.
Even so, value it at replacement cost including retrofitted electronics, not at list price.
For the C-Dory 16' Cruiser, C-Dory 19' Angler and C-Dory 16' Angler by C-Dory series the market
value and the replacement cost often differ widely.
An agreed value removes the age-based scale, and the figure in the policy stands.
For the C-Dory 22' Angler, C-Dory 23' Venture Sport,
C-Dory 26 Venture Sport by C-Dory and further series:
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part.
Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
For the C-Dory 22' Cruiser, C-Dory 23' Venture, C-Dory 25' Cruiser by C-Dory and further series:
On motor yachts the drive and the electronics together make up about half the value.
Both belong in the valuation, otherwise the sum insured is too low.
For the C-Dory 255 Tomcat Catamaran, C-Dory 255 Tomcat Sport Catamara by C-Dory series:
On catamarans the bridgedeck between the hulls is the sensitive part,
and the berth belongs in the application: double width often means a mooring rather than a marina.
