    C-Brats 2026 Calendar is NOW Available!

    Hi Dave, Just curious which FB Group site. Thought I'd go take a look and see if I can figure anything out. I'll let Gary answer if there is another way. But I suspect other than finding someone to order one for you, it probably has to be done at Lulu. FWIW, I ordered early, got the first...

    2026 Hontoon Island Gathering. March 3,4,5. DeLand Florida on St. John’s river.

    Dan, this would be an excellent opportunity for you to check out the various C-Dorys. I will not be able to make this year's gathering, but I've made 9 or 10 in the past, and we always have time to show folks our boats, which many times include all from the 16' to the Tomcat 25' and the 26'...

    C-Brats 2026 Calendar is NOW Available!

    Just received my calendar today. I do want to note one correction. The photo at the top of November states C-Traveler at Neville Bay, TN, Cumberland River. While I took the photo, the actual boat in the photo is the Little Joe, owned by Mike and Christy. As usually, there are some beautiful...

    Does anyone use a kicker motor on the starboard side?

    Thanks big time. I'm still learning how to find things on this updated site!

    Does anyone use a kicker motor on the starboard side?

    I was just going to grab photos from my computer files and upload a few here, but then realized that in cleaning up my computer I deleted all my Midnight Flyer photos. Probably not one of my smarter moves! (I figured since I had put most my mods in albums here, and sold that boat, I didn't need...

    Does anyone use a kicker motor on the starboard side?

    Tyboo or DaNag, has any improvement been made on categorizing our photo albums? I was trying to find Midnight Flyer's nested album on its kicker install, and didn't have any luck finding that album or photos.

    Does anyone use a kicker motor on the starboard side?

    Both my previous 22 and my current 25 have the kicker on the starboard side. Not a problem. If you can find it, my photo album for Midnight Flyer, (my previous 22), has an embedded album of my kicker install on that boat.

    2004 C-Dory 25 for Sale

    Hi Dale. Surprised to see you selling See-Ya, but I can understand. While I like having the 25, I do miss the 22 at times. Best of luck in finding a trade. I would imagine there are a few out there desiring the upgrade. Colby

    Dangling Rope Marina

    Just saw this excellent link in regards to the removal of Dangling Rope Marina at Lake Powell. I visited Dangling Rope Canyon this past April and October when I was on Lake Powell. Sad to see everything gone, but with the lower water levels I don't think there would be room for the facilities...

    2026 Hontoon Island Gathering. March 3,4,5. DeLand Florida on St. John’s river.

    Rosanne and I will be bowing out this year. Rosanne is planning on going on a medical mission to El Salvador during the same time frame, and we both chose that I stay home during this time, rather than coming solo to Hontoon. This gathering is definitely one of my favorites, and the perfect...

    It's those damn disc brake calipers again

    I don't see corrosion on the pads or calipers. Could just be the photo lighting. Mystery Girl Bill reminded me he has had to replace pads half a dozen times as well. Also Pacific Trailer inexpensive ones. I think those are the same ones I have rebuilt the calipers with. So I'm thinking it's...

    Winterizing

    Oh, I've done that several times....but not part of my annual maintenance. (I wish it was. I wouldn't have to do it as often. lol)

    Winterizing

    FWIW, I tend to do all my annual maintenance at the end of the season, and consider it part of winterizing the boat. The plugs, fuel filters, oil and oil filters are all changed out. Motors are lubed, including pulling the props and relubing the shafts and checking to make sure no fishing line...
