SeaWorld CC Reunion No More

%$#*&^^%%@$#@*%$#$#@*&%$#@$!!!!!!!!!!

We should start our own. To heck with Seaworld - let's do it @ Guntersville.

Geno

I'm with you!
But where the hell is Gunterville?
I say we do it in White Lake, MI

Tull,
You're already coming to GL08' right????

Yes, boat sales are in the tank for sure, and like most companies in this position have to cut out the fat to get through the year on the plus side.. It's not always about lining pockets.. CC and others expanding at the wrong time feel the same pressure I'm sure...

That's OK, CCFan reunions are going on strong.. It would be cool to set up a reunion in the South.. It would make us break our boats out earlier !!!! Reid, Jbear,,,,,, We know you could organize such the event down there....

Im pretty sure its us northeast guys they have to worry about!

Im sure not upset that CC wont be hosting any reunions. Unless you were local, I just dont see what the attraction was. Rather than sitting in a parking lot, Id rather be out on the lake. Sounds like a great opportunity for the reunions sponsored by this site to grow. Hopefully CC will step up and offer their support!

I too really wasn't ever that big on parking lot shows ! It always impressed me as more of a advertising and promo for CC. For those of you that have pre 1969 boats, there are lots of in water ACBS shows all over the country. Most have pre show water activities. ACBS.org has a calender of events.

This may be another bean counter move to reduce overhead and line the pockets of the Higher Ups inside. Sounds like a SAD DAY AT RED ROCK.......         Boat dr

The beginning of the end.Thats how it starts, some big shot comes in to tell everyone how to do it,and the next thing you know-
Here's the rollcall,AT&T, BSA Triumph,MG,Enron,MCI,Oldsmobile,Chris Craft,Shamrock, Switzer,Lucent,Kmart etc.

Well...I gotta make a few comments here...

First..Gary you know I am in agreement with you having lived thru the still ugly AT&T fiasco.

As much as I hate to...I gotta disagree with Tim. I never missed a Reunion in Ohio or here in Orlando. I have to guess you never went to one Tim as they were great. What a great time to see lots of different boats and tow packages. I may not be on the water quite as much as before but..in my Ohio ski club years I would bet I was on the water as much or more than most guys on here. Every weekend Friday thru Sunday rain or shine we could be found up at our ski site on Sandusky Bay. And I never regreted missing one day just to get together with lots of other C/C owners. We had a great time this year at Orlando and was a;ready looking forward to this years get together. There is just something about lining up all these great looking boats and meeting some of the owners.

So I guess we could find a "dusty parking lot" so we could still get together. C/CFAN has 2 very successful reunions now and this past weekend we had what could be the start of a 3rd. I belive we could draw some down to this area. Stay tuned.

Still...it is sad news. More change..always for the worse...I hate change.

was that from their site Keith?

Uh-Oh..does that mean that we (let me restate that for you GL guys) YOU... might actually have to behave respectably so as to not tarnish the good CC name?

Anyway, its nice (especially for Keith) to have that kind of recognition and support of this little band of merry men (and women). Once again, kudos to you Keith.

That is awesome news. Wow. Is it July yet?

Unfinished, haven't even started any. I may go ice skating out on Lake Michigan today, no I'm not joking.

Boy, the images I see with that!

Honestly - let's see what we can get going. I'm a new CC owner and an accidental one at that but I can't tell you how much I wanted to go to Orlando and show off my new baby - even though I found her in a shop in tarps she's still my baby now.

I've always owned boats that were perfectly serviceable (bunch of alumacrafts from ancient to modern, a wonderful Stratos fish n ski, an absolutely great Penn Yann that I could kill myself for selling even if I got an insane price for her and a Renken that was a good boat overall) but never one with the following that CC's have. I'm proud to be a part of that following and somewhat embarrassed to admit that I never would have owned her if I had to actually pay for her.

I'm more than willing to do what it takes to make it happen and looking forward to being in on it at the beginning.

Time is near for a new venue on the CCFan calender.I will do what I can in the way of getting the ball rolling. Do we have any ideas or locations that would fit our small needs????????

Guntersville is my first submission but I'm open to any location within a day's drive. Lanier would be fine if she'll fill back up (USACOE could have kept her full but they were absolutely inept), any of the semi-clean lakes in AL will work or any of the lakes in FL so long as they aren't too crazy far south or brackish (no salt for my baby).

Still working out those details but I'm pretty sure. Not many other options in Limerick. I hope we can move to the other room this year.

If it's after August, I'm in!

Question, how do you guys box the quotes? I'm not that good on this Commodore 64, so help me out.
