Good Morning C-Brats We are still scheduled to hold our Hontoon Gathering as planed. Florida allows outdoor groups of up to 50. With that said ......if anyone is concerned, not feeling well, has COVID or will not do the best they can to maintain a safe environment....do not attend. Everything...

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the gathering. Just a few notes. We will be having our fund raising auction again this year so bring your nautical treasures with you for sale. All proceeds will go to bettering Hontoon Island state park. The auction will be held under the trees this year...

My 2020 F-250 will not engage the brakes in park with the Ford Controller. It does seem to work fine on the road. Could be programming? I’d also recommend checking with Ford as your truck should still be under warranty.

Less than 2000 miles on it but like it so far. Mine is pretty basic being the STX model....crew cab, short box, 4.30 gearing, GCVW of 26,000 lbs and 4 wheel drive. It has the 10 speed. Shifting is smooth. Pulls the 25 easy but with the 15,000 lbs towing capacity it should. Payload is 3,100 lbs...

Not a slam dunk question. What is the towing capacity of the truck you’re looking at? The gross vehicle weight? CGVW ? How far and where do you plan to tow your CD-25? How much stuff do you plan to haul? The list goes on and on. I have towed my 25 behind a F-150 Eco Boost for 5 years with no...

Happy New Year all. It is getting time to think about the gathering. At this time Florida State parks are open to outside groups of 50 with restrictions. I personally think we can do this with minimal risk. Here’s what I’d like to see. Social distance and masks when with others. Bring your...

We intend to hold our 8th Annual gathering at Hontoon Island state park near DeLand Florida on March ninth to the eleventh. Florida does allow gatherings of up to 50 people at this time. We know that C-Brats are responsible people and will follow all reasonable safety precautions. Reservations...

How tall is it on the trailer? Can it fit through an 11 foot door.? I have a friend looking at a 25 but would really like a Tom Cat but really wants to keep it in a aircraft hanger that he has. Thanks Tom

Colby Your project sounds like the wrong $30 washer on my propeller that cost me about a boat unit to remedy. I’ve sent you some links for possible solution. Hope they help. Sounds like a sticky....leaky hydraulic valve. I know you’ll post your solution. Tom

Goodyear Endurance tires are made in the USA. Great tires.

Hi Joe Planning on crossing over from Grand Portage tomorrow. Weather permitting we will go to Windigo first then to McCargo cove. This is our fifth trip and plan to be out 3 weeks. We fish around the island and are seldom in a hurry. Give us a shout on 16. Mornings are best as that’s when we...

Jay I’ll contact you when I return from Isle Royal so that we can get together one way or the other. Meanwhile get as many projects finished as you can. My big project is going to be to fill the boat freezer with fish for “Camp Clow”. We were quite successful last year and if we do half as well...

Jay I did hear that Phyllis retired....congratulations! I’ll be your way in Late July and early August over at “Camp Clow”. Will contact you then. Hopefully your work list will be shorter by then. I’m hoping the fishing will be just as good as last year. John Who said anything about...

Colby and Alain Sorry you can’t make it this year. Ill have to do all the fishing myself. Can’t do everything and it’s been quite an interesting year. Just found out today the docks will be opening on June 26. Will be a real wilderness experience this year. I spent the afternoon rigging my rods...

I’ve contacted Isle Royal NP about them reopening. I was told that at the time one may fish or cruise in the park with a permit from the park service. The docks are closed at this time but one may anchor out. The marina that I normally launch from in Grand Portage Minnesota says that their...

I thought this topic was for humor...am I wrong?

Here’s the link to the one I’ve used for the last 4 years. http://www.lslproducts.net/ToadChargePage.html

Congratulations on your new “chapter”. Grandchildren are quite a blessing and change your whole life. And now you’ll have a house to work on plus the “Blue Days” in between baby sitting gigs. Look forward to traveling with you again in the future. Now that I’ve learned how to really catch Lake...

ProNautic P battery chargers also have a 5 year warranty. I have not had to use it yet other than the battery temperature cable failed and they promptly sent me a new one. Very happy with mine. One of the things to consider with any new high output charger is to make sure to have proper sized...
