I was looking for a job one day in the early 90's. I walked into C-Dory and told the owner, ( Bens father ) I wanted to build boat interiors. They hired me that day. That was the day I met Ben. He took me under his wing and taught me how to put the interiors together. I had alot of fun working for Ben. He took me skydiving one day that I will never forget!! Ben really knows skydiving with many jumps under his belt! I have not seen Ben in many years. I hope he is doing well. I will never forget those days.

Steve,

Thanks for doing your part in bringing these boats to market. I did a search one time (I think on Myspace.com) for all people with "c-dory" as an interest. Unbelievable the number of young people that worked at the factory that resulted.

Chromer,

I have never been in a 19. Back then there was a 16, a 22, and a stretch 22 called the cruiser. They also had a 26 with a volvo duo prop. I am glad to see Ben doing his own thing because he was always in charge making plugs and designing the finished product anyway. His latest design is everything a c-dory always wanted to be. He took every assy. and took it to where it needed to be. You will see alot more of Ben's work in the future.
