Ive mentioned it a few times on here, but figured it was time for a formal thread. The Benjamin clan will be hosting the 2nd annual CT mini the weekend of Aug 25, 2012.

Here is what can be expected:2011 CT mini

Not to worry, I have ordered some better weather than last year! Ken has promised us a repeat performance on the parasail, so that will be a real treat. Accomodations will be sparse, but we will do our best to make everyone comfortable.

Tim,
I'll be there with the '63 Plastic Classic and will load it up with any Footers that are at least equal to the boat's age, and if we don't have enough, we can drop the age limit. This hull has yet to EVER (almost 50 years) pull a footer to my knowledge. But since I have run it a couple of hours (and enjoyed it's performance!!), I am almost not able to hold off till the CT Mini!! Who will join me?? I'm thinkin' it's got the 8a11$ for 6+! Needed, just a driver and a large "girl friend" in the back seat!!

I think more classics will be there as well, so there maybe a Kodak moment.

I'm also working on bringing my (formerly your) Tique, but my engine rebuilder is currently looking for a block to replace the one (that was welded but still has lots of cracks) in the boat. Not sure I can get it all together by then, but that story has another day, much like your '79 Barefooter.

If Joe from NY is NOT draggin' a boat, he can stop by Exit 26 of the NYST and I can load him up with a tow.

Mr. Quinner Sir,

You are more than in!! I'm not that good at math, but I'm thinkin' that anyone born in the '60's qualifies hands down. My brother (Tim's father, Gregg) was born in the 50's and I'm tryin' to get him to man up and drop a ski.

The Benjamin family compound will be the home base, so Gregg and Uncle Todd (Got Tiques) will naturally be in attendance. My place has a rocky shoreline and isnt as well suited... but there are a few more docks (and couches) down there for overflow.

I have been assured that Reid is most definitely in the mix.

Wheres Gottaski at?

I'll probably bring my brother and/or a buddy of mine.

Sounds good, Brian. Pretty sure Ken will be in attendance, not sure if he's planning to bring the new boat or not.

I think I'll be rolling in friday late afternoon/early evening, may even caravan with Joe, since my boat will be at his place the week before anyway. I think I'll have one girl with me, maybe two...the prettier they are the harder they are to predict. Plan after that is to roll out Monday morning, will bring a tent but plan to play it by ear.

Looks like my +1 is coaching a volleyball practice till 11 or so on Friday, so I would suspect the caravan possibilities with Iaughtnaut are exceedingly high- leaving around lunch or a little before. Hoping Chris(Storm34) and Picture Pat stick around owasco lake for the morning watersports session on friday while the girls are assembling themselves, but with a new boat to meet who knows if Chris will be able to slow his roll that long.   

As for Quinner (also Chris) - sounds like you are driving over and should be stopping by my place the weekend before?

scratch that, 12:46...I get off the red eye fro Seattle at 10:45, I'm thinking I'll just catch a nap at the airport, pick her up when she lands and then grab my boat and fall in line with you by your place around 1:30?

Yes, new boat. After searching high and low, I located a 1999 Ski Nautique in Virginia. It has 440 hours on the GT40. 2005 Ram-Lin trailer with little use. I had MacCallum's Boathouse go through the boat and give it a tune-up. Love the super soft wake. I just can't get used to little exhaust noise, mostly transmission whine.

I should be at Tim's Friday night or Saturday. Leaving for Las Vegas Sunday again this year.

My two girls:
