Yes, not built up with business on the lake. Very clear water, no weeds and lots of trees and hills. It is a State of MO lake. However Branson is 20 miles or less depending on where your at on the water. I am currently having a 88 SN refurbished. It was a emotional purchase at Christmas this year. I grew up in the summers in northern In. around the chain of lakes. Webster, Barbee Ect. My best buddy's dad always provided us with a 1 year old hand me down( he got the new one) and we ran the lake from the time we were 13 till I graduated HS. The last boat we never got to use was a 1988 White & ice blue with a navy accent stripe. My buddy's dad passed away right before Christmas and when going back for the funeral I was passing time at the hotel on found the boat on CL. I bought a 2 owner exact match with all the original documents and it was even sold at the same dealer! I knew it was waiting for me!!! Anyway would love to make the trip but depending on $ it takes to fix her up it might have to wait till next year. We already have a free place to stay at TableRock so I am looking for a few Nautiquer's to hang for a sunny day. |

Floors, body & hull, carpet, upper motor refresh, tons of bolt on like blower, bilge pump, strainer, regasket most stuff, new deck from this site & refresh rest of the wood, ect. Pretty much what ever my fiberglass boat guy thinks.

Hopefully he takes a good look at your stringers and hopefully they are good since that would put a big dent in the budget! Did you ever consider doing some of the work yourself? That would sure cut down on the expenses. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

| He did inspect the stringers. He pulled every bolt one at a time while I was there dropping it off and we put Kleenex in each hole to see if it would come out wet. NONE did. He put them back in with a cordless impact with the clutch set at 65 lbs. & it clutched out every time. There was some Delamination in the last 18 to 24 inches he suspected was from the boat being parked nose up about a foot over level and water collecting in the rear of the boat. Early photos of the boat with the previous owners confirmed it.He is supposed to be documenting the work so hope I get some pics. The bolt-ons and motor work I can do when it starts to warm up a bit. I Don't have a place inside to work on it. |

Looks nice Dave! Welcome aboard! More pictures are nice, as the folks north of us have nothing to do other than shovel snow and dream of summer. Helps them through. ------------- Js |

Great lake. I can attest that there is a Mercuriser Alpha outdrive somewhere on the bottom of Table Rock Lake. Rock lane Lodge was very nice in the early to mid 80s. Looks like it's still there. I would love to visit again someday. ------------- 1970 Mustang "Theseus' paradox" If everyone else is doing it, you're too late! |

Here are 6 pages of snapshots taken at 2012 ACBS meet on Table Rock. Mine's the Century Resorter, "Meanwhile." The thing I enjoyed most about that lake was the many long cruises to lunches at the various shore-side restaurants - - and that we saw almost-only ACBS boats on the lake. No crowds. http://www.grantmaclaren.com/acbs2012/" rel="nofollow - 2012 - at Table Rock ------------- -=Grant MacLaren=- Retired Expert http://www.grantmaclaren.com/72skier" rel="nofollow - http://www.grantmaclaren.com/72skier |

| Damn those are nice boats! My wife would love them. It would be great if a group of Nautiques could get together for a cruise and a lunch like you guys. |

Grant, Nice and great turnout. Except for that rainy day, it looks like it was a great show. I'll have to put it on my list to attend. I noticed the X55 there too. It's always great to see one where the owner hasn't cut a hole in the top of the dog house converting to a downdraft carb! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

RE: That big yacht -- The original TOLKA was built at the Alexander Graham Bell Laboratories in Baddeck Nova Scotia in 1928. Owner Lee Anderson, pretty much had a copy built by Peter Breen. It's 36 foot in length, a "2 station" limousine launch powered with an "original" (ha) Sterling engine. Other than the engine, about the only thing original is its name. My boat was the 1981 Century Resorter "Meanwhile" -- not "restored," but styled by me to look older. (ACBS let it in the show because of its "looks.") It was blue with maroon upholstery & CENTURY graphics when I bought it. UG-LY IMHO. It's now on the Merrimack River near Boston. For more about that boat, see http://www.grantmaclaren.com/81century" rel="nofollow - "Meanwhile" . My '72 CC is being rebuilt with similar styling in mind. I'm not much for originality. i.e., here's my http://www.grantmaclaren.com/souper" rel="nofollow - Model "A" Ford On the other hand, I love old boats and admire the wonderful restorations done by friends. (Gar Woods, Shepherds, Centuries, etc., etc.) BTW, that Table Rock meet was the annual ACBS meeting. This year (2015) it will be held in Minnesota. http://www.woodsandwater2015.org" rel="nofollow - 2015 ACBS Meet & Show And Pete, it only rained lightly for about an hour at the very beginning of our first daily cruise. ------------- -=Grant MacLaren=- Retired Expert http://www.grantmaclaren.com/72skier" rel="nofollow - http://www.grantmaclaren.com/72skier |

Just viewed a 6-minute youtube video of the 2012 ACBS show at Table Rock. Of course, I liked it because it contains a 10-second clip of my Resorter.

Thanks Grant. Bucket list entries Go back to Table Rock this, time with Mustang, and tear up some water and the music on that video with 3" open exhausts while blaring Motley Crüe. Go to SJRR with Mustang Go to Green Lake reunion with Mustang Visit Fingerlakes with Mustang Note to self, finish Mustang. ------------- 1970 Mustang "Theseus' paradox" If everyone else is doing it, you're too late! |

John, I don't know but I think there are several boats in that group that could beat the stangs sound levels!  Grant, That's for the video. It sure confirms the turnout was great. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I won't disargue with that Pete. One of the loudest boats on our chain is an old Hacker, pre-war I'm sure, about 30' in length. I have no idea what pushes it but there is a lot of mechanical noise audible in addition to the exhaust note. It gives me ample warning to be on the dock to watch it pass. ------------- 1970 Mustang "Theseus' paradox" If everyone else is doing it, you're too late! |

If I had to guess, it may be a Liberty. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I believe you are right Pete. I searched for Liberty engines and found a few on YouTube. The V12 with exposed pushrods /rockers / tappets sounds like said Hacker. So nice! ------------- 1970 Mustang "Theseus' paradox" If everyone else is doing it, you're too late! |

D&C, I know this thread is old, but I'll be there twice this summer with my '89. Been going to Table Rock since I was a kid. We stay in the Shell Knob area...I too have wondered if there are any other CCfan members who frequent Table Rock. How is your '88 coming along- post some pics!
