Just returned on Saturday from a 7 night trip on the St. John's River in Florida. We launched the Comfy Dory on Lake Harney on Saturday the 27th of Dec. Spent the first night on a loop south of Blue Springs. Next night south of Astor in a little cove. Then up Lake George and spent the night...

How Exciting! Toby and I attended our first CBGT last year at the St. Johns gathering on the Comfy Dory. What a Hoot! Met some of the Folks that we had read about over the years and had a fantastic time. Good Food and New Friends. You can count on us to attend. We will be spending a week...

On the Comfy Dory, we have a wood grab bar installed on the interior of the door opening, above the door. About 16" long. Guests who are in the cabin grab that rail when standing in the cabin looking out to the cockpit and beyond. That might keep your guests from grabbing any padding that you...

Tom and Joyce, Is it too late to sign up for the Hontoon Weekend? We live on Merritt Island and did not think we would be able to attend because of work obligations. That has suddenly changed and we can make the weekend. We would launch Friday morning on Lake Harney and travel north up to...

Colby, We use a small 5000 BTU window unit. I detach the brackets from inside the window, leaving them attached to the bottom of the window. The brackets act to hold the window up in the fully open position. I slip the AC into the window opening and it rests on 2 pieces of 4x4 that I cut to...

On the Comfy Dory, I have mounted 2 rod holders vertically on the inside surface of the lazarettes. We set the Honda 1000 EU on top of the lazarette with bungees to secure. Then open an umbrella and put it into one of the rod holders and it covers the Honda and allows plenty of ventilation for...

Dr. Bob, I keep the Comfy Dory under a pipe frame and tarp...on of those 10' x 20' ones that you can get at Home Depot. It only is out when we launch the boat for a trip. As with any finish and especially here in FL, the sun will fade ANYTHING! I have only re-cored the holes that are on the...

Chucko, I am in the process of stripping the Poly Glow off of the Comfy Dory after 5 years. I will be re-finishing with Poly Glow again! I personally love the Stuff. The key is proper preparation. The products that come with the re-finishing kit are: Poly Ox for hard to clean stains, Poly...

My wife and I were driving along the ICW on the Cocoa, FL River Rd. about 2 weeks ago and noticed a new boat lift being built with a very nice sun deck on top. We both commented on how nice it was. Well, I'm driving along the same road on Tuesday of this week and the boat lift is complete and...

Hi James and Betty, Well, we had ourselves quite a week on THE RIVER! We had our Christmas Eve party for about 60 Friends and Family, Christmas Day dinner with our Kids and Familes and then launched the Comfy Dory on Wed. the 26th about 11:00 AM. Pretty good wind with approaching front and no...

Susan and Harry, Take a look at the Zodi camp shower. We have used ours for 3-4 years and love it! Everything you need for a warm shower at the end of the day except for propane which is 1 lb. cylinders. We set our unit on the Bait table and stand on the swim deck to shower. We carry (2)...

Molly Brown, Toby and I are excited...we'll be launching on the St. John's @ St.Rd. 46 about this time one week from today. Been working on getting the Comfy Dory in ship shape and loaded for a week's cruising. Hope the weather will be at least a little cool, but we're bringing the AC unit...

Hi James and Betty, Wish we could meet up with you in Jan., but we will be launching the Comfy Dory on Dec. 26th @ Lake Harney and traveling north up toward Palatka for a week, returning to Harney on New Year's Day. Just a little ahead of you. We have made that trip for the last few years and...

Kevin, I purchased a new lens for the Bomar Hatch on our 22' cruiser.. I also had to purchase a new gasket for the hatch. Unfortunately, they sent out the low profile gasket which will not work on my hatch #. I contacted customer service and they immediately saw their mistake and sent out...

Tom, Toby and I also use the Zodi Camp Shower in our 22 Cruiser. I set the unit up on the Bait / Cooking table over the motor well and then stand on the swim deck to shower. Very quick and easy and we have learned to both bathe with a total of about 5 gallons of water. The little battery...

Toby and I met your Dad a few years back when we did a St. John's River Mini Loop. Had communicated with him before the trip and as Luck would have it, when we came by his house, we saw the C-Dory hanging in the rack and your Dad sitting on the dock. Threw him a line and we had a nice 20...

Since we have owned the Comfy Dory, we have used an ablative paint for the bottom as the previous owner had used it and we thought that we might be leaving the boat in the water at our dock more than we have. As it turns out, the times that the boat is in the water for more than a week are the...

Dutch 123, We had the same problem on our 95 Cruiser. I think the only way to take care of the problem for the long term is to remove the rivets and rub rail altogether and then re-install the rail with through hull bolts, washers and nyloc nuts. I don't care how well you try and seal the top...

Sunbeam, Wow! No, I do not mind at all that you contacted Bomar as I was just getting frustrated. Where did you find a number for Bomar? I will follow up and contact Tracy to confirm the info and place my order. You provided everything that I will need for this project. I broke the lens...
