    My 2015 grand dodge grand 's towing capacity

    Yes, that boat is not a 1996 Doral. Google 1996 Doral 216cc (the smallest cuddy the have) and you will see. Then Google 1985 Bayliner Capri 1850 cuddy. The boat you are looking at does not match the description 1985 Bayliner Capri 1850 cuddy 1996 Doral cuddy
