Keith,
I don't really see enough photos or votes for any of them other than those who have nominated them. What is considered a "top" photo? Just wondering...
Last year everyone had a vote of three photo's for each month. You must have a ton of other pictures your considering then? Do the "fans" get to vote?
Moj'
PS: the successful pictures from last year were ones without people. And to add a bunch of text to a 8-1/2X 11 calendar will take away from the photo in my humble opinion.. Perhaps year, make and model only..
Remember the old "Snap on' tool calendars guys?????? Do you really care what their names were or what the chicks interests are??? Yeah Not so much hahahaha...
Remember, the sales of the calendars benefit the site. They should be made as generic as possible, with some high quality pics of "BOATs". It what I would buy as a "CC Fan"... Gotta think of the mass interest...

well about my boat,
in this order
A)-Year and model of the boat, especially if it's a rarer one
B)-Engine specs, especially if it's been modified or is a rarer option
C)-Restoration info it it applies
D)-where the picture was taken
E)-how you use the boat.
F)-hours on current state of the boat after engine rebuild (if rebuilt at all)
A) 1979 Ski nautique
B) Engine: 351 windsor, 4 barrel holly, no aftermarket modifications to the engine.
Audio: JL 12 on a 300 watt amp, 2 alpine 6x9s w/ 150watts a piece, 2 6" clarion speakers, pioneer premier cd player.
C) Only thing replaced was interior with new brown, and floors replaced with 3/4 thick plastic board.
D) Hiwassee river Tn near day beacon 9.4
E) Pull tubes, wakeboard, and kneeboard. i run roughly a 500Lbs fat sack in the back for wakeboarding, and do not use a pole extension. My buddy can do flips just off the ski pole with fat sack easy.
F) Currently have 2066hrs last time i checked

I was thinking a little bio of each boat that winds up in the calendar, or a little bit about the event/day it was taken, would be cool as well. Maybe it could be taken from the boat's diary on CCF, or maybe from the person who was there and took the picture. |
I'm reiterating my vote for blurbs on the boats. Stuff like:
-Year and model of the boat, especially if it's a rarer one
-Engine specs, especially if it's been modified or is a rarer option
-Restoration info it it applies
-where the picture was taken
-how you use the boat.
Not all of the pictures would have to have all of that, but a little bit of info would definitely add to the pictures.

Keep the photos coming. I'll be accepting nominations through October 31st. I'll then be selecting the top photos.
Thanks,
Keith

Dad bought this in 84 from a camp in Chattanooga Tn, and he passed it down to me 3yrs ago. since then only thing ive had to replace is oil pump and rebuild the carb, and has 2066hrs which this winter im gonna pull the engine and pull the heads off to see the condition of the cylinder walls and repaint the whole engine. I dont normally see any ski nautiques around my area that are around my yrs. Everyone complements the ole gal and is always amazed to hear about how many hrs it has on it. and im not sure by what you mean by combing pad

Wow! That looks a lot like my first Nautique! Hmmmm... Does it not have combing pads? How long have you had her and where did she come from? Just curious, as there weren't many brown ones around this part of the midwest, at least. Looks good!!

Some pictures i took from previous summer, the quality isnt as good at the originals that i have, and these pictures are about 75% smaller than the originals as well.

Jeff,
If you have the wife on board for GL you are already ahead of the game. You definitely need to bring that sweet boat up there! You'll both have a great time.
Very cool boat, needs to be in the calendar for sure.

Phil! Awesome picture! I hope everything is recovering as well as you could hope out at Delhi. Shoot me an email. My Dad asks me everytime we talk if I have heard from the guy getting the Ski Nautique re-gel'd.
Sorry for the thread jack!

Hi, Keith
Having some problems downsizing the photo of our boat from my file to this page; could you just use the existing pic that's on/in the CCF file to post it for the calendar photo entry?
Thanks for your help!

That Separator rocks! Definite calendar-material if you'd ask me.

That Separator pic from the brochure looks almost like there's a bench running up the side rather than a second bucket. I've seen pics of smaller Donzis that are set up like that. I think it's pretty cool.
Here is another pic I'm nominating. I grabbed it from the Midwest Reunion recap thread:

.....any chance of you taking a big gulp of shut the $%&* up, and leaving me alone  . Now that I think of it, I think you're absolutely right, and I promise to pull it off this week. Or maybe just charge the battery.......again.
As for Jeff's Separator, the engine is obviously too large and powerful and causing the stern to sit lower; automatic calendar disqualification! Kidding of course as that boat is hot and REALLY needs to be in the calendar, but that's just my one vote. Gotta bring that beast to the next Midwest reunion!

I'm a little partial to this shot Tim Morfoot took, except for the driver.  Actually, thanks to Joe we were able to get it running right on that day. Just can't seem to get the air that the Godfather managed though.

I wonder if I can sway the judges with the fact that Keith's dad, Roy is riding along in this one.
