Most sport boat buyers choose bow riders, but maybe one in ten will choose a Doral 235 Cuddy. Bow riders can get more people aboard. However, there are other considerations. Surprisingly, a Cuddy is much dryer in rainy conditions, when the bows of Cuddy and Bow rider are both exposed to the elements. The Cuddy cabin is cozier; you can sleep overnight in a Cuddy, and nap when you wish; you can fish as the fancy takes you, and you can travel distances at a rapid pace. In addition, there is nothing like the beauty and sporty power of a cuddy runabout. and on a more mundane level, the boat has a larger compartment for the toilet. The rounded shape and green tint of the companionway is unusual and pleasing. Two round, green tinted windows, and plenty of light fixtures make for a bright and colorful interior. Together, the window and the companionway door flood the cuddy with light transforming it from a typical boat cave-like interior into a pleasant work and play center.
This is a great place for lunch or for the kids to play board games if it is rainy. The fully enclosed toilet makes a long day on the water comfortable for all, and if you want to read at night, there are reading lights at both ends of the vessel.
An abundance of options There are 44 optional features, more than almost any other boat builder provides. Choose, and build your own custom Doral 235.
