1968 Cape Dory John Dory Center Console

This 1968 Cape Dory John Dory is a 16-foot fiberglass center console runabout built on classic dory lines. The design combines the traditional clipper bow and wide lapstrake profile of wooden dories with modern fiberglass construction, sandwich-core hull, and positive flotation. The shallow draft—typically 10 to 12 inches—makes the boat well-suited to flats and shallow waters, while its lightweight hull means it can be towed by compact trucks or standard SUVs.

The boat is powered by a 9.9-horsepower Mercury outboard engine and reaches a cruising speed of 6 knots with a maximum speed of 8 knots. The center console layout provides open fishing or recreational use. An included trailer, anchor, gas can, paddle, and pump round out the package.

The boat is registered in Wisconsin with current registration valid through March 2027. The motor runs and has usable power remaining.
