The C-Dory 23' Venture Boat Tour!

[@kirkwilliams2127]

Can't wait for our new 23. Master Marine has been great to work with:-)

[@MasterMarineBoats]

Thanks Kirk! It's been a pleasure working with you as well!

[@danesworld]

Love that little boat

[@tony7830]

I love how the v berth is comfortable enough for two full grown " Humans"

[@markfindlay8636]

Nice boat that, with handy features.

[@percivalgooglyeyes6178]

That looks like a cute little lake boat or very calm weather close to shore boat. I like the cozy little cabin.

[@MasterMarineBoats]

It's honestly a great lake and sea boat. The cabin is super cozy and the interior is gorgeous!

[@jimh.5286]

We own a very similar C-Dory 22, run it in the open ocean. It's quite sea-worthy, can take a lot more punishment than the passengers.

[@WillemLuntungan]

Nice boat.

[@jamespalko5103]

the boat used by william least heat-moon in his book river horse

[@francus7227]

So.... Would you discourage someone from the wood composite C-Dory 22'???? They're almost identical. For my needs, the 22' is plenty. But I'm sacred of the wood rotting. I know this clip is old... I hope you see this and can help. I want to use it in the Florida Intracoastal Waterway and VERY near shore on VERY calm mornings. Thank you.

[@hellapellanyc6465]

Yes! The wood sucks especially the fact they use Poly resin with wood which isn't waterproof like epoxy of vinyl ester. I redid the core on my angler 19.

My future boat

[@postobetao]

Congratulations , beautiful boat. Could be Diesel ????

[@MasterMarineBoats]

You could put a diesel engine on this if you wanted. :-)

[@postobetao]

@@MasterMarineBoats Great , thanks a lot. One day.....✌

[@user-tv5dt3nm9y]

Grab rails and hand holds are key on a small boat.

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

These seem to be grp versions of stabicraft. I'm assuming they are a good bit cheaper.

[@garrydye2394]

Is there any wood in the older C-Dorys?

[@wascalywabbit]

I'd love to have one.. Used.. No motor.. Old... No leaks,fair shape... Cheap for project

[@jimquantic]

When people sell boats-they never show em in rough water--they don't want to scare off people who think they will always be "fun in the sun". Don't get me wrong, these are nice from all I here--just saying. The other thing is ALL designs--all of them, have pros/cons. I love this boat, may well have one at some point, but the downside is very real--I have had a very similar design. High in floatation, it ends to be very safe, in rough stuff, but in high wind, it gets pushed pretty hard. On one trip, in my similar design boat (Arima with Pilot house) we went hard for one hour into a headwind/headsea--and we made--ONE mile, that is when we saw the downside. That same day, a nice HEAVY Grady White came by like we were standing still, slicing through, not butting IN, to the sea. We got an education watching the big Grady come by us.

[@MasterMarineBoats]

You're absolutely right! It's actually much more difficult to shoot in rough water (camera equipment, drivers, etc.), but we will do our best to try to capture some footage in rough conditions in the future! Thank you for your input. :-)

[@veen9667]

But where is the toilet ?

[@danielplainview4778]

I agree was odd he didn’t show the head

[@northwestmarineindustries]

It’s hidden in the v-berth

[@capng]

Maybe I missed it. Did you mention anything about a "head" on board?

[@Moondoggy1941]

2:13 The Venture has zero wood in it.

[@capng]

@@Moondoggy1941 I think that you meant to reply to the question below from garrydye2394.

[@Moondoggy1941]

@@capng Probably did thanks. Too funny.

[@rickytrujillo7027]

Where do I buy one?

[@uthermaceanruig5098]

I can’t afford a C-Dory. So I’m building a Tolman Jumbo instead.

[@НиколайК-н2м]

СКОЛЬКО СТОИТ? БЕЗ МОТОРА

[@rickristeen5123]

you know who gene sturner is ? i do

[@NoPrivateProperty]

don't like the throttle being buried so low

[@Nickhansen148]

Adult Units?? Really?? Nice boat by the way.

[@arthur4818]

So I see on the internet that people state they have a Cdory 22,23,24,25 why would a boat maker build boats only one foot apart don't make sense to me

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

A foot doesn't sound a lot but when applied to a boat it makes a surprising difference., in terms of hull and Sea keeping and how many features and how much it can carry. If you look at manufacturers websites you'll see what I mean.

[@MasterMarineBoats]

We agree with the above. It makes more of a difference than you imagine. ;-)

[@arthur4818]

@@MasterMarineBoats I found out with some research that cape dory went out of business a long time ago other manufacturers are building boats and using their name thats why the boats are so close together in length different manufacturers have different hulls

[@wesm3915]

Why not just buy an aluminum boat?

[@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures]

We went with a C-Dory 22 because they weigh a whole lot less, require less motor on the back, you won't need a much larger truck to pull it, and the alluminum boats dang sure aren't drafting 8 inches. C-Dorys ROCK!!! We get a 250 mile range on 46 gallons of gas. Have a great week and stay blessed. 😎👍

[@mftoutdoors7483]

What do you mean 2 full groan humans. ??? Did you mean men or people ???

[@joelcr250]

WTF is a Dory tho ?

[@joelcr250]

Ahhh, I see "A small, seaworthy boat with a narrow, flat bottom, pointed ends, and high, flaring sides. Dory boats can be up to 22 feet long and can be rowed, sailed, or powered by an engine. They are commonly used by fishermen in New England."

naw, i need a real bathroom.
