Research 2014 - C-Dory - 26 Ventura Cruiser

This new model features a deeper V and a little more deadrise which provides smoother riding in the open water. It is made with high-density foam, fiberglass and resin.

Maneuverability at speed is balanced and predictable, even in heavy seas. The boat holds her course with little effort. The hull's near flatness toward the stern and reverse chines greatly reduces the rolling motions, making cruising in rough water much more pleasant. Fishermen will love the way the boat tracks at trolling speeds, allowing the focus to remain on the fishing. And with only 8" of draft and a thick bottom she can easily be beached or anchored for beach combing adventures.

The cabin with over 6'4" of headroom provides cozy shelter. It features a comfortable seating, sleeping area & pilot's station with excellent all-around visibility. Our Venture models are fully lined with marine foam insulation and covered with marine vinyl.

The cabin layout is simple. On port side of the isle there is a collapsible table that levels for a bunk. A forward facing seat facing toward the table and a reversible seat on the front end of the table. On the starboard side is a full galley with helm, sink, stove a place for a 2.7 cubic foot refrigerator and standup head and shower. Plenty of storage is found in the cabin. The forward section of the cabin features a 6'4" "V" double berth, two reading lights, a large deck hatch and a privacy curtain which provides separation from the rest of the cabin.

Cushions are made of high quality foam covered with durable 'Sunbrella' boat canvas. The colors coordinate with the exterior trim. All of the cushions can be removed so the interior can be cleaned easily.

All boats come with a standard 5 year hull warranty.
