C-Dory's hold their value well, ride ruff, pitch back and forth easily at a stand-still and basically are overpriced IMO.
A nice used Olympic, Glasply or Tiderunner in 16', 17' or 18' is the only way to fly in Puget Sound inexpensively. Just make sure the transom is solid and not funked up and soft, get a tune up on the engine and you're fishing for under 4K .

Being raized on fiberglass boats, I cant bring myself to purchasing aluminum boats for the ol' puget sound. Something about the sound of waves lapping on the side of fiberglass that just sounds, "oh so right"!
