1977 Dyer 29 Hard Top

The Dyer 29 is one of New England's most enduring powerboat designs, combining traditional downeast lines with a proven semi-displacement hull. Designed by Nick Potter and built by The Anchorage/ Dyer Boats in Warren, Rhode Island, the 29 has earned a longstanding reputation for its sea-kindly ride, efficient hull form, and unmistakable profile. 

“SALTY D” is a handsome example of the classic Dyer 29 series. She has been stored indoors, lightly used during the summers, and well maintained by her current owner for the past six years.
