Quotes from the boat show

[carlsoncvx18]

Ok 98% of the reaction from the crowd was pure positive but as you and I know there is always a couple that you have to shake your head at.

Some of the ones that came to my old mine quickly

This by far is my favorite display

Look at those CLASSICS

MY grandpa, uncle, cousin, brother, girl friend used to have one of those.

I remember  the Glastron/Carlson was the best lookin boat back in the 70's and they still are.

Is that the real James Bond boat.

Who restored these. man there beautiful. (Nobody they are all orignal)

And the one you have to shake your head at.  My uncle had one of these Gt 150 that had a 150hp it would go 85mph. yeah right

And my last one HEY GEORGE

[CVX Fever]

Did anyone take pictures of folks looking at the boats?

When I was there Thursday, I was amazed at how many people were taking pictures on their phones and sending them to people.

[Rosscoe]

Looks like you covered most of the quotes.

"do these boats get used?"

Yes, they are not trailer queens.

It was a good time listening to people reminisce and especially interesting talking to one guy who was a dealer when these were new. I was surprised at how much he remembered, spec wise. Lots of interest in getting on the forum, some boats forsale, one for free that I am aware of, others seeking knowledge about how to do a transom or floor. Very fun. So much so that I hardly left our booth to look at the overpriced new stuff.

In referrence to Burnin Daylights thru hull exhaust.  "Look daddy this one has rockets" and "Wow does fire shoot out of there?"  Kids say the darndest things.
