...... Would even be better if you would bring that boat up to have as a centerpiece of the show! :)"
Thats a YES in my book !That's the way I interpreted it too! (Anything but a resounding NO is a yes in my world.) ;D I'm starting my "mad money stash" right away. I'm excited and it's only 14 months away.
If that mariner is a 150 v-6 that 24p wont fit, v-6 outboards use a bigger gear case than Rosscoe's 100hp. I do have a 20p laser2 ss you can try if you like.Steve, would that fit on a stern drive?
I AM bringing ear plugs this year..cuz of the trains.

I?ll be taking lots of pictures & HD video that you can have copies of, of course, and will assist in any way I can. I need a button that says? ?Official? Classic Glastron Boat Rider ?Will Ride for Free?. ;D haha. I actually have a T-shirt that says ?My boat doesn?t run on Thanks?.
Can?t wait, just a few weeks away.
I?ll have my cell on me? 210-601-9914

Hey guys, I finally got off the fence and am making plans to go! I'm psyched and can't wait to meet you guys and see all the boats.

Us guys will sleep very good :D
Quit pickin' on the trains ... There my bread & butter !Gregg

I'd love to attend with my family and '73 V-174 Bayflite but I'm having difficulty locating it's title and there has been some confusion by the licensing center thinking I never transferred ownership back in '07. If I can't be there with a valid license I'll be there in spirit!
The good nature of the human spirit never ceasese to amaze me, especially in this Glastron family!!!
The gentleman I sold my GT-150 to years ago (I still owned it in the picture below), lives about 1.5hrs away from the meet. Good friend, we keep in touch, and I was trying to see if he could attend the meet, atleast visit with him since I'll be "in town" and so close.
It sounds like he can't make the meet >:( , but offered for me to use his pick-up and bring his glastron (what we call 007) to the meet!!! :o Are you kidding me!... I'm speechless.
Looks like I may not need a rental car or a ride after all, maybe a boat wet slip instead.
OK a little off topic but I noticed the addition of another boat to Brians screen info. Did you buy your old boat back again???
Any projections on the boat #'s yet or campers?
Wow ... it is going to be standing room only on the dock this year! Wonder if there is going to be enough parking? It could be a little crazy this year. ... Looking forward to it!!! ;D
...There are lots of water patrol officers in that area ensuring all of our safety...
Every jurisdiction looks for different things. I can give pointers and advice regarding the boating laws and what the patrols will look for. With as many boats as we stop in WashCo (not all first-timers), a refresher on safety should always be welcome.
We all want to be safe and have an enjoyable weekend without incident.

Thats a lot of chickens!We Broke 100 Registrations!!!We are going to have the largest collection of Classic Glastron's and owners in world history! Woo Hoo!
me and the Fox is thinking about bringing a few water mellon to share ? We plan on being at the campground Thursday afternoon / evening.
Brian, Id like to commend you, and the others, for hosting such a Great event, the efforts you extend to make this thing a success, and pleasent, for all of us is just Great. I have hosted 9 such events here in Okc, not as big as you have going on, but I know a little about what is going on in your head, the anxioty, stress, expense, sleeplessness, and all that, but then one morning ... POW ! there it is, a total success, and it was all worth it.
I got to tell ya, it's Great to be a participate rather than a host ... Thanks Again
I have a really dumb question...b/c I was a day tripper last year I didn't think about this stuff...are there grills there or do we need to bring our own?
In regards to coffee... I have a local coffee company that is going to sponsor us for the coffee service. We are actually going to have a coffee machine that can brew on site. It's going to be great, and FREE!
I gotta tell ya ... I have Never seen the Fox so excited about going to a meet as she is for this one
The boat ramp is literally right at the end of the slips. You may want to just trailer it in the evening. There were not covered slips as I recall. No camper enclosure OleRed? That may be a nice addition to you boat if you do not have it.
Didn't I see posted somewhere that we will be taking a trip down the river to someplace ? If so, I'm wondering how far it is, at cruise speed I assume ?
Is the moonlite cruise friday night, are the slips lighted, I have a hand held spot light, is that sufficient ?
my ideal cruise is 42mph @ 3000rpm, thats at the top of the primaries, and affordable.
It may be a good ideal for a few members to carry an extra tank?
I can make the run on my new 12 gallon tank. I will bring my old 6 gallon and my old 3 gallon reserve.
I love all the boats, big or small and if I remember right, the rule is never leave any one behind.
I think last year someone did run out of gas and a club member made the trip to the marina to get him gas or towed him.
New people ask questions, come prepared, but know this club has good people that will help.
...As far as the moonlight cruise...last year we made a point of being back before it was so dark you needed a light, but most of us do have a hand held spot at least, though I never used mine.
Hey Guy's ... me and the Fox is about 25 miles north of DesMoines, got us a bite to eat and a motel room, having a nice trip so far, truck is doing well, we fixin to turn down some covers ... see ya tomorrow ... Zzzzzz
Must be in Ames then. You have a pretty easy drive ahead of you tomorrow. I-35I take it they got I-35 open again then? That's good news! First part of the week they showed a reporter standing on the Iowa State campus, flooded.

Hope everybody has a safe trip, and a great weekend. Try to keep us posted, those of us who couldn't make the trip are with you in spirit........(hoping for updates and pics.) ;D
Nice job David! Hopefully it's generates a nice size crowd and maybe a few tag alongs.
Thats a Great Idea !! Factory reps, Vendors, Glastron employees past and present from designers to techs, yea you are on to something there my friend, It would be cool to see a Classic Glastron Carlson sitting in Mall America WOW !!!
My boat is cleaned and fuel up, leaving Cedar Rapids, Iowa (Maybe you have heard of THE IOWA HAWKEYES) at 6:00am, looking forward to meeting all of these Glastron minds!! See you all on Friday.
Jimmy & Pam
Thanks for the update brother, it sure is quiet around here! ::)
Yeah, but starting tomorrow and over the next few weeks, its going to be busy!Sweet, can't wait to hear all about it and see the pics! I feel like a kid on Christmas eve, can you hear Carly Simon singing "anticipation" in the background ? LOL Have fun and be careful driving home.
For those of you that might not be aware... I was told that Steve and Garnet Spaid's Intimidator fired up at the end of the meet!!! Woo Hoo! What an amazing way to close the event down! Thanks to Red, and everyone who made that little treat happen!
You all are wonderful. Now... I Sleep!

That is great news. So hauling the boat there wasnt all for nothing. Anyone know if it kept running or what?
and the BOATS!... the site of the 42 Glastron flotilla
Boats were still showing up Sunday when I left at 12:00pm, even Brians old cv16 made the meet
Nice Job everyone! Let's make it 50 and 150 next year!
I told the kids the next one who plans something during the Glastron meet gets dis-owned.
The 4th Annual (International) Glastron Classic Event will be held on the 19th, 20th, and 21st of August, 2011. Our location will be the Island Campground and Marina.
Vacation request being submitted TODAY!Well, my wife's always saying that I never "plan" anything, I usually just go with the flow Ross. ;D THIS is worth making an exception, I can't see it happening without meticulous planning and a little "scheming" on my part. Vacation request approved, BTW! (Sure got a strange look from my boss, LOL) The first check mark on a list of many.
LOL! Now thats thinking ahead.
What was done to get it to fire up? Did they pull the distributer or ??? Last I heard it was only firing on one cylinder.

I can't believe I just found this thread ,, Duh !
I will Never forget the look on Steve's face when that Beast fired up, there were a few doughtful eye's watching I think, but, that beast has been sleeping for a Long time, was a little stiff, it just needed a few more volts (24) to spin it back to life, to smell it's breath, and it smelled alot like Berrymans B-12 ... LOL
I think it will be fine now, but you All shoulda seen the look on Steve's face ... Priceless !
