New Project 79 Chris Craft 22' CC Dory

Finally have this one complete.

NICE

This is about the best site I've found for info on the dory thanks to iron man and trapshoot for posting

Not a big fan of the outboard sorry

Gentleman, I am pleased to report that I recently found and purchased a 1974 Dory Cutlass in original condition from the original family that owned it. It will take a lot of work getting this boat back where it needs to be, but I can't believe I was lucky enough to find this with all its original canvas and everything. It will be a long road, but you all have inspired me, that this was a great investment and well worth the effort!

Do you happen to know the size prop you are using ? thank you

I'll have to check. I did switch from the original Michigan wheel 3 blade to an OJ 4 blade and it was like night and day. Here's a video of her running.

Hey Now!
That was sweet.

Thanks - 42 mph is pretty good for the 350. thanks for checking. I am spinning a 13x11 3 blade right now...

Maybe someone can help. I recently a 1974 Dory. I’m missing some trim parts. On the inside the hull at transom over top the fuel tank, I have a hole where a trim piece seems to be missing. Does anyone have a picture?

On my boat, the fuel fill is on the top and below the rub rail is the stern light.

Inside the boat at the transom in the fiberglass fuel tank cover I have a small stainless steel inspection door is that what your missing?

Is it a square hole?

Yes,
It is a square I’m guessing 8 x 4 in that neighborhood, without measuring.. I see sea dog has a rectangular on made of stainless. I could also make one from starboard

Does anyone have any secrets on how to get the cockpit to drain faster?

I rebuilt my floor last year and raised the floor on inch. It should help.

Thanks Dave, I was looking for an easier answer. Lol

Hi - Don't know if you're still looking, but I have a lead on a 1974, pretty nice shape, just needs a good cleanup. Location is MA shore. Available for $7500. ~ Buzz

Thanks, my wife would shoot me if I came home with another one
Really enjoying the one I have it cleaned up pretty well. I was going to replace the covering boards and almost had a heart attack when the fellow at the lumber yard said 1000.00for 2 boards 3/4x9x11’. Re-did the old ones and looks pretty good.

Yes I’m trying to figure that one out, the teak boards $$$$
