This new model from C-Dory boats 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 reversable 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 seperation 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.
The electrical system provides spare switches fuse holders and ground terminals for additional accessories.
The windows are Diamond Sea Glaze safety glass in aluminum frames that are powder coated to match the color of the boat. Electric wipers are standard. Side windows slide open and have screens, together with the large forward deck hatch and the standard center opening window the cabin can be amply ventilated.
All deck hardware is stainless steel and through bolted. The top deck is a very healthy 3/4” thick. Deck hardware includes (5) through bolted SS cleats 4 of which are mounted at a 45 degree angle. Downriggers or other equipment requiring a sturdy mount base can be bolted on any top-walking surface. The bow rail and handholds on the top and rear of the cabin are also through bolted.
Both the cockpit sole and the top walk decks have a very aggressive nonskid. The surface is a molded in diamond pattern.
The 26′ C-Dory Venture comes standard with a 100 gallon fuel system located under the motor well. In between the fuel tanks there is a 1100 GPH Automatic bilge pump.
The motor well can accommodate a matched pair of twin motors or a large main & small auxiliary motor package. C-Dory is a strong promoter of the 4 stroke outboards and the latest technology in 2 stroke motors.
Maximum power is 200Hp. Generally you will find 15 to 20 MPH to be most comfortable. The boat planes quickly (9-10 MPH) and without the bow rising high obstructing vision ahead.
