Welcome Phil and Sally!!I am hoping you will love your new to you boat! Going to sound strange, but you can also get used to your boat by using it as an RV. We are in Central Texas and went to the Florida gathering (3 day drive) and used the boat in RV parks, and practiced our cooking...

John, so you know I had to go back and watch the videos more closely! I’m so sorry you know the cost of an engine cowling! :) If you think not going through the lock is what is needed, I will agree. You gave some great reasons for not doing that exercise. If you would speak on the subject, I...

John, neat videos!! Colby, I’m not sure what I am asking for either, but a short talk on the area during one of the mornings or evenings would be very welcome, maybe do that on Tuesday. If you would be willing to lead an ‘expidition’, that would be awesome! So, the answer to your question is...

Awesome Bob & Colby! I’m looking forward to seeing both of you again. Maybe one, or both, of you would like to provide some insight on the area for one of the programs. I plan to do that, but I know you both have more insight and experience than I. Let me know your thoughts. -Mike

As you may remember, I had proposed a “Meet in the Middle” C-Brats gathering at The Land Between the Lakes. It is SET! Details: Prizes Point Marina, on Lake Barkley Arrive Monday, Oct 2, Departure Friday Oct 6. Activities - Monday night - BYOD (Bring your own Dinner) Tuesday Evening -...

How are you all getting reservations? I go online and EVERYTHING at Hontoon shows booked through all of March (I don’t believe that). I called the reservation number, they say Hontoon is closed and won’t open until Jan 1. I call the Hontoon state park directly, and no answer…..so, what am I...

I saw that post as well. I try to make a habit of never commenting on another’s asking price. If I am not interested, I move on. If they can get the asking price, good for them. If they can’t, they will likely adjust the price to where they can sell it. It will self adjust. My opinion...

I will make some phone calls to some marinas next week and get their reaction to a gathering of C-dorys...-Mike

Colby, I’m not sure what all is involved with “hosting” a gathering, but I would be up for calling marinas, finding a place to launch, a place to put the boats, find out about parking the trailers… but I don’t know the lakes, having never been up there. Folks, let me know how many might be...

Seems like the ‘Land Between the Lakes’ would be a great place to go. Lots of water, two huge lakes that come together, wonderful scenery. Just thinking would anyone be interested in a gathering there in2023? Has anyone cruised that area who can shed some light on these lakes? It looks to be...

I, like many others here, have a CD22 with a 90HP (and a 5 hp kicker). Your question has many answers, but begin with this question. What do you want your engine and boat to do? My CD22 will hit 25-28 mph at wot. However, I spend most of my time putting along at 5-7 mph or fast (at about 20...

Welcome to the world of C-Dorys! You will likely really enjoy the boat. I'm at the opposite end of the world from you (Central Texas) but feel sure it will serve you well. May God bless all who sail on her!

Mad dog, glad Tex reached out. He is a good guy and knowledgeable. A trip to see him would be worth your time. Best of luck to you!

Hi Maddog! I am in Georgetown, so about 3 hours from you, north of Austin. If you would like to make the trip, I would be happy to take you out. There is another D-Dory in Katy named "Bixby's Cub" owned by Tex. You might look him up here on the site. He is closer and will give you some...

Window A/C installation project

I would absolutely replace my filter, and buy two so I would always have an extra on the boat. I have no input on HEET, as I have never used it…..good luck to you! I hope this solves your issue! -Mike
