new dory

[rooster]

This is a dory a friend found in his brothers garage in San Diego. It was built in the late 30s. any thoughts on design? Work, pleasure?thanks for any help. I hope this picture thingy works Rooster

obviously it's not very well built...probably leaks like a sieve...needs painting...and being wood is a bear for upkeep. Drop it off at my place and I'll save you a trip to the dump....

Ignore that Paladin guy...I will give you $1.00 for that rotten old boat!

With that transom it is a dory skiff of some sort, a very good design if I say so ( I have one too).

;0 )

Get a copy of Gardener's _The Dory Book_ and you'll probably find something close.

More photos, more photos, and more photos, please.

What's the inside look like?

Looks like a California surf dory for long line fishing. Practical but not a thing of beauty other from that of a work boat point of view.

Sorry,having a hard time re: size of pictures. I can't seem to get more than 2 to fit on a page. I'll try again later.
