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...

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...

Does anyone know where I might find a replacement lens for the Bomar Hatch on our 22' Dory / 1995? On various sites, I can find other replacement lenses or new hatches, but not the lens for this hatch. Can anyone confirm that the hatch on our boats is the BOM-N203910A? I can only find a...

I have searched the Forum on Cockpits and couldn't find the info I need. Does anyone have a link to a site for the 12" hand rails that are vertically mounted to the rear of the cabin on both port and starboard sides? I want to replace them with 24" hand rails and move the 12" rails to the top...

Does anyone know if the foot pump for the interior fresh water tank is re-buildable? Ours has worked fine on our 1995 22' since we purchased her in 2007. When we used the boat last week, the foot pump would not seem to hold the prime I guess. It seems as though the back check valve is not...

I have been searching the forums for information that I had seen recently, but cannot find it. I am looking for a fuel line that is made for Honda generators that will allow me to connect the generator to a remote fuel tank. We use the generator a lot in the late spring and summer for air...

Toby and I are going to cruise the west coast of Florida for our Dory long vacation this year. We will trailer the Comfy Dory across the state on Aug. 27th or 28th to Fort Myers. We want to leave the truck and trailer at a secure location for about 2 weeks. We'll spend about 3-4 days in the...

I just posted yesterday some pictures from a cruise we took on the St. Johns River. We launched on Lake Harney west of Mims, FL on Sat. Dec. 26th and cruised north up to about Palatka, FL. Had a wonderful time and had a chance to re-charge our batteries after a hectic Thanksgiving (24 for...

I hope this is a problem is one that someone has addressed before: Toby and I took the Comfy Dory down to Ft. Pierce Inlet on Friday the 10th from our home on Merritt Island. The run is about 74 miles and we cruised at about 4400--4500 RPMs which about 19.5 to 20.5 mph for our boat loaded...

I have a 22' Cruiser that I want to air condition for a trip down to the Keys later this summer. I also have a Hondo 1000E generator to power the AC with. I know that I have seen on this topic several times that some have used the Arctic King AC that they purchased from Walmart. It was a 5000...

Hi to all the Brats, Especially all those who are locked in by the cold weather all over the country. We have not checked in for awhile as we have had a busy holiday season, but I wanted to make a small report on the trip we just returned from last Saturday. We needed to rest and rejuvenate...

C-Brats, I thought you might want to get a first hand report from the path of Tropical Storm Fay. We live on Merritt Is., in Brevard County, FL. Our home is on the west side of M.I. 1 mile south of the SR 520 bridge from Cocoa to M.I. The west end of our house looks out on the ICW at MM 77...

Brats, I am hoping some of you can help me with this problem. Toby and I took the Comfy Dory for an 11 day "Mini Loop" for the last 10 days of May. We launched on the St. John's River west of Titusville, FL and went north up to Jacksonville. From there we turned north on the ICW and made it...

If anyone is looking for an older Rosborough, I saw one for sale yesterday along US 1 north of Melbourne, FL. It is a 1991 with a Volvo I/O that looks as though it was orginal equipment. The boat looks to be in pretty good shape, but one that old could always use some powder and lipstick. The...

Brats, It's official! Vacation days reserved, dog sitter arranged, feeder for chickens arranged, boat prep in progress. Toby and I will be heading out on the Comfy Dory on May 21st. for eleven days / 10 nights. We'll be launching in the St. John's River west of Cocoa, FL. if there is enough...

Hello to All from Sunny and Warm Florida's East Coast, Does anyone have suggestions for some kind of container that can be put on the foredeck to hold the anchor rode? We typically anchor in water that is not much more than 30' deep, so we only carry 200 ft. of rode with a Danforth anchor...

I am hoping that some of the Brats can help me with this item. I want to purchase a stainless steel bar that mounts horizontally at the front of the motor well for mounting rod holders, bait table, etc... I have seen them in various photo albums. I think they are 1-1/8" diameter. My question...
