Thread Name: BS: Boat Builders Texas Dory Plans
Subject: RE: BS: Boat Builders Texas Dory Plans
In my experience, a dory is an open, double-ended coastal workboat. The headroom is virtually unlimited. A dory is a pulling boat and, being double-ended, really has no place for an outboard moter. So what is a dory like in Texas?

The “26' of headroom” reminds me of a friend who, seeing an add by someone wanting a 14' wide jon boat, remarked that he had a jon boat that was 14' wide but it was only 3' long. <g>
