Hi Jay. I'm the proud owner of a 1965 dory. I bought it in 1994 and spent most of a summer rebuilding it. It has lapstrake sides of 3/8 plywood and the bottom is 1/2plywood covered with fiberglass, which I'm told was a factory option. It has a motorbox, the front portion of which is the helm seat. It has a seat across the stern which covers a 50 gallon fuel tank. The console is made of mahogany, with a seat in the front. The foward deck is just ahead of the console and raised up about 11/2 ft with storage underneath I guess it could be called a casting platform. It is a very safe and seaworthy boat. I have been out in the ocean in all kinds of weather, and never felt the least unsure of the boat. There are a few of these boats around here, at one time they were very popular. There are also a few fiberglass models around, the main difference with the glass ones is that the engine was moved ahead and put under the console, and then it had 2 plastic seats on pedestals behind the console. I was told that these boat gave a very wet ride, that is not the case with my boat. Regards, Dan
