Paul, sounds like its going to be a great time! Dont know if the wife, kids, Gamecube and DVD player will fit in a Ford Torino...would I still look cool in a 2001 Ford 15 passagner white (looks like a church bus) van?

Be warned. I understand they are quite loud (and that's a bad thing?) It is my understanding there is so little space between the engine and the transom that the exhaust manifolds practically hook directly up to the exhaust ports.

Reminds me of another boat I was tempted to get when I was looking for my tique. I saw an ad for an old donzi 2+3 with a v-drive. I thought it was a misprint or that the guy didn't know what he was talking about because I thought donzies only came in I/Os. I went to look at it and sure enough it was a v-drive. Very hip and unique boat. Tempting, but the engine was a basketcase in the guys basement and since I am not overly mechanically inclined, I passed.

I always wanted to try one of those vinal repair kits..so I did on a very Small hole (about the size of a pin head). now I got a melted area over that small hole about the size of a quarter

Everyone,
I love the idea of having CorrectCraftFan.com regional in-water reunions. I could even makeup shirts if there's enough interest. I tried starting a New England version two years ago but the site wasn't getting enough traffic then.

I can setup registration pages for each region through the site and add space for photos and stories post-event.

We need a single point-of-contact / event person for each region and we'll go from there. Any volunteers?

I'll take New England (but would welcome any help).

Regonal events!!! registration page..outstanding!

I will volunteer to help in the midwest region...i'm about smack dab in the middle of this first outing...cental IL.

I think it would be very likely that turn out could be as many as 20 - 30 boats in any region!
Heres a thought(some Ideas)...6 regions...N.East, S.East, N.Midwest, S.Midwest, N.West , & S.West.
The Southern regions could host early summer (cause it's warmer)...Northern regions , late summer.
The interest level in the midwest has been strong enough , that I believe , two locations would both have good turn out.
I will suggest that if in the midwest, we want two locations (N & S)...they be Green Lake Wi(Mojo's suggestion)) & Beaver Lake (Pauls suggestion).
What do you think!
Paul...will try to call today !

Stang,

If Green lake is selected I would help out any way I can. I take some time off work between x-mas and new year and would offer to take a drive up (about 2 hours)and pickup a bunch of the areas travel guides. I could get a list of hotels, campgrounds together and mail out to those interested. I found a campground on the net that looks to be right on the lake and would like to check that out for myself anyway.

If the site is determined before x-mas let me know and I'll plan a day.

BKH; Hard to believe, only 20? When we were in Ohio we would always have in the area of 100 to 110. Here in Orlando this year we musta had close to 100. Cool time just walkin around lookin at boats and tow packages. Make you air reservations now, was April 23rd this year.....john

Stang and JBear,

Very kind offers. I will have to see what date and location is chosen, and match against the work schedule. At this point, I have the most important element, wife is interested. So, we'll continue to monitor and see what happens.

BKH

I've attended either the OH or FL reunions every year for the last 7 years. It's right at 500 miles to either of those locations from Charlotte. So I'm good to drag one to anything close to that and maybe a little further, ESPECIALLY with the opportunity to splash the boats as opposed to sitting in a parking lot. And I never seem to travel alone. Somewhere in Kentucky sounds great, but I'm game regardless. Oh, and sorry about the b-ball game last night Wildcat fans. I'll know better than to bring a light blue boat to the bluegrass lakes.    

And Stang, the new ebay Classic splashed today as well. Ear to ear. All it needs is a new front seat bottom. I've only got an hour on the 390 Ford big block which hadn't been run in 3 years, but it seems to be an original Interceptor from everything I can tell, and it runs good and strong. I'll try to get some picts posted.

If you fly out BKH, you can commandeer(sp) one of ours. I'm stoked!

   

Beaver Lake sounds good to me. My summer schedule would only allow for one trip, and that one depending on when. I think this is one of those things that if we can get it off the ground we can move it around from one summer to the next to accomodate different people.

Hey All,

Gary and i had a conversation on the phone today (tue.) and the final date was made. Drum roll please..............................JUNE 24th 2006 I hope this works for everyone? Now the location i will leave to a vote and majority wins.... Please leave your vote for either green lakes WI. or Beaver Lake AR. Either place will be and awesome place to get together and plenty of accomidations for lodging and tourism!!And both lakes are very low traffic. This thing is a first time thing and i think a few years later and alot more input on this site, we can make several site reunions every year and hopefully get all of the CC family out to meet and show off there toys (The one with the most toys wins)Please no hard feelings if this thing doesn't work for you but we will eventually have one that will fit your area!!! Either place is cool with me, Both will be a long drive for me but no big deal, I will not miss this thing,You all sound like a great time so place you vote and i will see ya there! Once we make the final location we then can talk about Photos t-shirts and future reunions... Oh and stang i will get those motivational photo's on here but someone will have to show me how to do it. I might be mechanicaly inclined but computer illiterate..

See ya all and thanks for all the input
Paul,
