Midwest 25 CDory

Years ago I was lucky enough to get to know then write about Bill and El Fiero and their CDory adventures for a couple boating magazines. We have some knowledge of CDory's and are now considering buying a 25 but the ones for sale seem to be far away. We would like to get on one to get a renewed feel for it and am wondering if someone in the Midwest would consent to let us have a look. I remember one that used to attend the Midwest gathering. Thanks. Gary Kramer

Gary, there will be several 25's in Sept. at the Mississippi gathering, at Clinton, Ia which I believe is fairly close to you. Some of the come from some distance to this gathering. There is also a "brat Map" in the header you will probably find some 25s nearby there, if you cannot wait until Sept..

Also watch the 25's for sale on the lower part of the home page--often one in the Midwest shows up there.

Good luck looking!

Gary,

I haven't officially made the announcement but I'll be selling my 2007 25 C Dory soon. The boat is at a marina in Boston and can be sea trialed anytime. Im closer to you than the PNW! Lol. I'll put up a For Sale listing soon but here's a video. Feel free to call me anytime.

Hello Gary,

In our 22 C-Dory, I still carry a copy of the Heartland Boating magazine with your story about C-Dory's and Bill and El. You interviewed me for part of the article.

Please join us at the Midwest Mississippi River Gathering the weekend after Labor Day at the Clinton marina on the Mississippi River.

I know of 3 25's that will be there, 2 are Midwest boats and one is a Florida boat
All are friends of mine and any of the 3 would be happy to let you take the helm for a cruise. There are several more 25's that are usually there, but have not committed as yet.

You kind of know the routine, since you came to the Guttenberg gathering to do the story. Just click on the Event signup at the top of the C-Brats page. Select the Mississippi River Gathering and click information and then click on "discussion" to view the exact dates and itinerary. We will be adding more details as the date gets closer.
