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

    Hontoon Report. We stopped in at the Park Monday for a bit to see how things are going and are happy to report that both docks now have power and water on. The aquatic growth in the marina has been mostly eliminated. It was a bit quiet at Hontoon but it is Christmas week. As we checked in with...

    Dan …..every year we have folks that want to learn about C-Dorys stop in at the gathering so you are more than welcome. It’s always a good idea to study different boats before you buy. Most folks go through a few wrong boat before settling on the correct one for their needs. Of course needs also...

    Dan and Jennie congratulations on your new Tom Cat. We will certainly have at least one more Tom Cat 255 at the Hontoon gathering. I’ll try not to drool all over it. James….keep working on Ken’s houseboat. If it’s not at the Hontoon Hoot I’ll be disappointed. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

    How do I post a C-Dory gathering on the home page for Hontoon Island?

    I do not know how to post our C-Brat gathering for Hontoon Island on the home page as we have done on the old website. It would also be nice to have a sign up and photo album. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks 😊

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

    Most C- Brats launch at Ed Stone park located at HWY 44 near DeLand Florida. Lots of good parking and a protected launch area. We encourage everyone to park as far away from the ramps as possible. It’s a short trip up river (south) to Hontoon Island state park. I will be launching on Monday...

    Here are a few photos I took this weekend at Hontoon. The first one shows the docks. The second photo shows the pavilion that is available. We then have the diagram of the slips with numbers. They only had one copy of the diagram so ignore the notes. This does give everyone an idea of the...

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

    Joyce and I are having a nice cruise and GREAT weather this weekend on the St. John’s. We visited Hontoon and were able to meet with some of the members of the concession that is managing the campground, store and boat docks. I feel they are diligently working to improve conditions at the park...

    Solar panels mounting

    Here is what I used and am still using 2 years later. The bolts that came with the risers were a little long so I made spacers. The risers are not cheap but I tow the boat long distances at highway speeds with no worries. I like the fact that I can move them easily if I decide to obtain...

    Electric Heater

    I’m sitting on the C-Otter this chilly morning in Canada toasty warm with our Webasto diesel heater. If you plan on boating in colder weather this is the way to go. Colby turned me on to this a couple years ago. Warm is good!

    types of flooring for a 25 ft cruiser

    Decadence is the best product we’ve ever found. Our is 10 years old and it still looks like new not cheap but always looks good. We fish a lot on our boat and it never gets stained. We like the dark gray.

    C-Dory Meet Up in Midwest

    Just a few thoughts about C-Brat gatherings. The biggest problem is finding a marina that can accommodate all the attendees. We’ve been challenged even at Hontoon Island because of hurricane damage but we’ve been able to make it work so far. We did have a C-Brat gathering at Isle Royal some...

    After action reports for our 12th annual Hontoon C-Brat event. First of all thank you to all that attended this event. 12 years ago I would have never guessed it would still be going strong. 22 boats this year plus a few other C-Brats that attended without their boats. Of course the gathering is...
