i love the C-dory's... the only problem is their price. for such a small boat without a fixed head... they still run 150-165k new. the Ranger R-23 which has a real head, and is a bit bigger... (though a lot heavier 6000 vs 2600) is about the same price or a bit cheaper. I have no ide why the R-23 i called the 23. infact the R-23 and r-25 are both listed as the same lenght. I also don't like its range... 250 miles won't even cross some lakes. For me i'd def need an extended fuel option. get it into the 400 mile range just for safety.
