2008 C-Dory Venture 26

Built in 2008, this C‑Dory Venture 26 is the kind of simple, seaworthy pilothouse that ages well. As a used boat, expect honest, age‑appropriate cosmetic wear—light gelcoat patina, a scuff here or there—without detracting from the solid feel. Straightforward systems and a proven hull keep ownership low‑drama. For everyday use, it shines: early‑morning fishing, cool‑weather cruises, or a quiet overnight. The enclosed cabin keeps everyone dry, and the layout makes it easy to run the shoreline, pop into a marina for lunch, or idle at the sandbar. Versus bigger cruisers, the Venture keeps costs in check and value high—efficient to run, easy to clean, and friendly to DIY upkeep. If you’re shopping for a mid‑range option that won’t surprise you at the fuel dock or service counter, this one deserves attention. Now at Boat House Lauderdale Lakes, it fits the Lauderdale Lakes chain, nearby Geneva Lake mornings, and quick weekend runs north. Schedule a showing—pre‑purchase inspections welcome. Versatile pilothouse boats like this move quickly as the season warms up.
