The Dyer 29 is one of the most sought-after boats with a classic Down East design. Known for its durable hull and perfect size, it's ideal for day trips or weekend getaways for two. The spacious cockpit makes it great for entertaining or relaxing on sunny days. The Dyer 29 is a legendary platform and claims the right of being the longest running production model in American boat building history. Even after over 40 years in production, this boat remains highly coveted and is regarded as one of the most attractive small boats ever made. Its popularity stems from its timeless aesthetics and spacious open cockpit. The lobster-style semi-displacement hull ensures a smooth ride, while the fine bow and sharp entry handle choppy waters and wakes effortlessly. With a round chine and narrow stern, it's easy to control in following seas. The Dyer 29 is celebrated for its seaworthy performance. This model features a low-hour Volvo 300HP D4 diesel engine, cruising at 18-20 knots with a top speed around 20 knots.
