John, Thanks for the update on the center window issue. The solution I employed on Levity and posted here was original as I had not seen or heard of anyone else using such a fix, yet, a bolt and detent system to hold a sliding rod in place is hardly original, so let's credit great minds thinking...

Nick and Marcia, Congratulations on your new boat! Sounds like you've already had a good cruise in her and are enjoying the 'getting to know you' phase. We wish you many happy and carefree boating days. Mike 'Levity'

2004 Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab short bed 5 speed 4x4 with the Hemi. This vehicle rides comfortably, gets almost 11 mpg when towing the 22 and has all the power needed. It is a quiet and smooth machine. Mike 'Levity'

Jeff & Julie, Local knowledge is best concerning bottom types and appropriate anchors so I will limit my comments to the anchor buddy concept. A simple stretch cord looped on both ends functions well. Use 30 feet of stretch cord and estimate a 50% elongation rate giving an effective 15 feet of...

Fishtales, Sincerest wishes for the best outcome for your nephew. We can enjoy the pleasures and luxuries of life including our C-Dories due to the courage and sacrifice of your nephew and all those who serve with him. Where can we send him a" get well" email? Mike 'Levity'

Levity was chosen as our C-Dory name as we wanted to endow the boat with the concept of lighthearted fun. We found a definition of levity which included the descriptors; "buoyancy in speech or manner". We felt this was a good match to our concepts and liked the flexibility of buoyancy to cover...

Well done! The gathering was a fun opportunity to learn the faces and personalities behind the usernames we associate with on this site. Thanks to Tom for making the event happen and thanks to all who helped it go smoothly. Jeff's presence was a statement of confidence and demonstrated...

Hey, Hey, We're cleaned up, packed up, filled up, loaded up and leaving at 7:30AM sharp. See you tomorrow!! Mike 'Levity'

Hello John and congratulations on your new C-Dory. Dave at King Marine made my canvas top and shipped the top and the hardware needed to install it to PA..He was great to work with so just keep trying that cell number. There are many discussions on this site concerning canvas tops and their...

Here's a key story: My 19 year old niece drove us to the lake, after a day of swimming and boating we tied to the fuel dock and she (still clad in her itsy bitsy swim suit) dropped her keys over the side into 12 feet of water. She had no hide-a-key and no 2nd key within 300 miles. Fortunately...

Hi All, My 2 cents on a camber back includes a yes to zippering the top a few inches aft of the sliding attachment point to allow for speedy dropping of the top, yes to stainless 1" tubing for the security of its strength, yes to hard legs for the rigidity they add to the top, yes to clear side...

Ken, Thanks for giving those thingys a proper name. The strap attachment point is at the same height because the tank bulkhead was shortened a measure equal to the height of the cleat upon which the bulkhead now sits. Mike 'Levity"

Hi All, The factory decking option limits the available space one has to make corrections to the tank bulge problem. I have posted some pics of one solution to the problem in the Levity album, page 4. Included is a picture of the three pronged threaded bolt receiver thingy. Mike 'Levity'
