Not shilling for the guy, I don’t know him. I just thought it was a pretty cool rig and wondered why is is still available. Any thoughts?

That is very cool. But seems way under powered.
It’s actually over powered. The manufacturer recommends a 50.
Cool boat, but not really the type of boat this region embraces.

Someone around here sold c-dory boats for a while. I always thought they were interesting, but I never had the need for one. They are tough little boats. If I lived on Goat, I’d have one.

Weirdly proportioned and fugly. 18’ is not large enough for a pilot house, and can you imagine how hot it would get in there in the summer[:0]

Neat little boat. I have a 26’ project boat with the same general layout. But,…
If she planes when fully loaded with just a 60hp, then she is a rough riding little girl.
If she doesn’t plane, max hull speed = 1.3 x (waterline)^1/2
speed = about 1.3 x (18)^1/2 = about 5.5 knots
She wouldn’t make through the narrows of Wappoo Cut against the tide.

I am very familiar with this boat It is at Wilson Landing Marina in Palmetto Bluff The owner traded it in with the Hyundai dealer on a new car. The previous owner went most Mon, Wed, and Fri to Beaufort, Daufuskie, Savannah for lunch with a couple of friends when it was warm out. He kept the boat spotless, washed and hand dried after trip. Runs like a top and cruises about 35 mph. Filled up with gas after each trip. Round trip to Savannah was less than 6 gallons. Capt Herb Rennard, Capt Trey Snow and myself work at this marina and know the boat well if anyone is interested. I guess the Hyundai dealer is trying to sell it. Does not have a trailer that I am aware of.

Now that you mention it, I’ve seen that boat there and Capt. Herb was telling me about the owner. Herb is a friend of mine and I was giving him some advice for repairs to the “Grace”.
The little boat looks better in person than it does in pictures

Not really practical for how I boat but, I thought it was kind of cool. It sold, for $7,000 or less.

Larry,Herb and I just got back from taking The Grace to Beaufort, NC. We had a good trip and look forward to heading back up there periodically to check on her and bring her back in March.

I heard she was heading up there for a major refit. The old girl was due for it. That’s a very cool boat!
