1978 Dyer 29' Cuddy Cabin

This 1978 Dyer 29 Cuddy Cabin is a traditional downeast design known for its seaworthiness and timeless appeal. The boat features the model's signature sweeping sheer line, raised trunk cabin, and wood-framed windshields. A custom raised flush deck eliminates the engine box entirely, creating an open, unobstructed cockpit suitable for entertaining or fishing.

The yacht is powered by a Yammer 315-horsepower diesel engine, a significant upgrade from the original powerplant, with 2,200 hours on the meter. A bow thruster with a new lower unit installed in 2023 improves maneuverability. The boat cruises at 15 knots and reaches a top speed of 17 knots. A custom aluminum half-tower top is mounted above the cockpit.

Recent maintenance and updates include a new canvas enclosure and fresh varnish applied in 2024, along with an Awlgrip finish on the cabin sides, deck, and cockpit that same year. Interior paint was refreshed in 2022. The boat has been meticulously maintained and stored indoors during summer months, contributing to its solid condition.

Accommodations include a single cabin with one head and galley facilities typical of this design class. The 29-foot hull with a 9.5-foot beam offers a stable platform for coastal cruising.
