C-Dory Marine Group boats lined up on the lot at Wefing's Marine
- The 16' Angler & Cruiser
Both the Angler and the Cruiser (shown here) are ruggedly built little boats that share a common hull design. Simple, practical and built to last with a construction method and lay-up schedule that's far superior to any other boat in its class. A C-Dory can handle very rough seas and will withstand a lot of abuse.
A salty little cabin affords plenty of protection from the elements. Its this cabin that sets C-Dory's 16' Angler & Cruiser models apart from the competition. Very few boats this size offer a hard top cabin, and none as good looking or as ruggedly built as the C-Dory
- The 19' Angler
-
The 19' C-Dory Angler was developed from the 22' C-Dory. The hull was simply designed to be three feet shorter. Maneuverability at speed is balanced and predictable, even in heavy seas. The boat holds her course with little effort. The hull's flatness toward the stern 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 7" of draft and a thick bottom she can easily be beached for beach combing adventures.
- The 22' Cruiser
-
The most successful C-Dory model, the 22' Cruiser, was first introduced in January 1987. It has enjoyed a steady production run. Many refinements based on customer input rather than on fashion trends have been incorporated over the years. Materials used in the construction of the boat have been constantly upgraded, ensuring that the model keeps pace with the technology available today. A practical boat, the C-Dory 22' is designed and built to be seaworthy (see extremely cool seaworthy demo slideshow), easily maintained and affordable to operate. Although a full-size cabin cruiser, it is relatively light and well balanced for easy towing and invites the owner to explore distant waters. Average towing weight is about 3500 lb. boat, motor, trailer, & fuel.

- The 25' Cruiser
-
The 25' C-Dory is longer wider and taller than the 22' Cruiser. With the added size we were able to incorporate many of the features that so many C-Dory 22' owners have asked for in a larger boat. The additional features include; enclosed head, self bailing cockpit, larger galley and a forward viewing companion seat. The 25' Cruiser provides a spacious self bailing aft cockpit. Welded Stainless steel railings along the sides assure safety even in rough water and provide a feeling of security. The cabin with over 6'10" of headroom provides roomy shelter. It features a comfortable dinette, galley, sleeping area and a stand up head as well as the pilot station.
The C-Dory 25 in this picture, shown running on the Apalachicola River in Florida's Panhandle, is currently available for weekly (or longer) cruising rental from trawlerrental.com, an online division of Wefing's Marine.
"I have always found C-Dorys to be rugged and practical, simple and sensible. . . Much of C-Dory's appeal comes from its traditional salty styling, but owners also appreciate its basic, rugged construction." - Trailer Boats Magazine
"If you're in the market for a shallow-draft, stable boat that can handle a sea and provide shelter from the weather, we think the C-Dory, especially the cruising version, deserves a second look." - Powerboat Reports
CDory is such a fantastic boat that it has generated a sort of "cult" amongst the owners of these boats. They frequent a site online known as the C-Brats. Wefing's Marine welcomes any members of this group to stop by when they are in the area and share some of their C-Dory tales and boating stories with us. We also invite any of them to join our forums and post to them, sharing their knowledge and love for C-Dory Boats.
