A dory is defined as a small lightweight boat from 15 to 22 feet long with a flat bottom, high flaring sides and sharp bows. Dories have been used as commercial fishing boats for centuries.
C-Dory boats have taken the classic dory boat design and altered it to increase the lift and decrease wake and spray as it travels. C-Dory craft are known as tough, practical, nearly infallible boats that can handle choppy seas and punishing marine conditions, even in such volatile seas as the Alaska region.
Evinrude E-Tec motors do not need maintenance for the first three years or 300 miles of normal recreational use, including oil, oil filter, and gearcase lube changes.
The new product line of Evinrude E-Tec outboard engines are more lightweight than previous Evinrude models, start more easily, run more quietly, provide better fuel economy and lower emissions, and use their own patented low-friction design resulting in smooth power and performance.

Many people are unhappy boat owners because they buy the wrong boat. Before you dive head first into the world of boat ownership, ask yourself a few questions that will help you focus on the kind of boat you will need, though the best kind is a no-nonsense boat.
• Who will use the boat? Just family or will you invite friends? This may have a bearing on the size.
• How will you use the boat? Will you be fishing, water skiing, cruising, taking day trips, weekend trips or week long excursions?
• When, and how often, will the boat be used? Do you boat year-round or only seasonally?
• Where will you operate the boat? In lakes, rivers or on the ocean?
• How much can you afford to spend? Don’t forget the initial cost of purchase is just the beginning. There will be maintenance, insurance, registration fees and instruction and safety course fees.
• What type of boat suits your personality and temperament? Do you imagine getting from place to place with great speed or leisurely sailing to your destination?
Choose the right boat. Narrow your choices to a short list of boat categories and make short lists of features that you require, features that you would like, and features that you want to stay away from.
