Bayflite do you have a picture of your hole(in your boat)? Is the access already done? If it is not to large of  a hole and access is pretty easy then I would fix it. I split the hull on my GT150 this winter and remove and replaced all wood tramsom,stringers, and floor using west system expoxy worked wonderfully. I know that people have their preference to resin or epoxy but I like the smell of epoxy(very little) over resin. If you have any questions please give me a call Jeff

Sean. Swapping your motor may not be a bad option with the deals that are out there on hulls. At least you know your motor is solid. I know your boat has been in the family a long time so the sentimental value is worth something too.

Nawwwww .. don't worry about it.  I'll just photoshop it out of the pictures!  I could even put a swoop on the side of it and drop a CVX windscreen and some intimidator exhaust on it!!

I like that, we'll call it an 'unknown prototype'...it doesn't look like it a regular old Bayliner on the inside anymore anyway.

Ok everyone!  It's time for the meet!  Most of the arrangements are in place, and we are well on our way to having the best meet ever this year!  As of right now, we have 71 registered guests and 31 classic boats that are coming.  I am very pleased with the turn out so far, but I think that we can do even better!

It's time to start thinking about schedules and things to bring...  Here are some thoughts...

1) I will be providing us with a meal on Saturday morning as well as a fish fry on Saturday Evening.  Saturday Evening is going to be our main fellowship time as a group, so it is very important that we get everyone together at that time.  It is also going to be the time that we have the videographer to do interviews with club members after the afternoon boating.  Please make plans to spend the evening with us even if you are making a day trip to the meet!

2) The schedule will be Saturday morning breakfast from (roughly) 8-9am.  The morning schedule this year will be a little different...  Last year, we had some troubles with getting the entire group organized and together.  So, we will spend the morning with fellowship and free time to gather around the marina at the campground.  We do not have much for sandy beach immediatly around the campground, so we will use the marina slips as our base camp.  I would like to have our group boating run in the early afternoon since we are going to have our videographer there around 2pm.  Lunch will be at your lesure, but I would love to get the entire group together from the marina for a large group run in the early afternoon.  Please plan to meet at the marina at 1pm!

3)  We will then meet back at the campground at 6pm for our fish fry and activities around the pavilion and the campfire.

4) Both Friday night and Sunday will be at your lesure.  Group boating on Sunday morning is a wonderful option!

5) As of this morning, the weather forecast for our weakend is PERFECT!  Mid 70's and mostly sunny through the whole weekend!

6) As always, I am available for questions if needed.  My cell phone # is 651-260-5266

I would like to ask that people consider bringing a dish to pass for the Saturday evening meal.  I will take care of the fish fry, and the boiled potato's.  Please feel free to bring salads, fresh fruit, beverages, desserts, or appetizers!

Also, please consider tools, safety equipment, extra life jackets, tow ropes, and anything that might be needed by the club members.

More to follow!

Hey Brian

I just got arouind to checking out the spread sheet and found a couple of errors. Not a big deal, I dont think, but it appears you have us down for both tent and rv camping. We'll just have a tent this time. I dont want the club to get charged for an rv spot unnecessarily. Second, my boat is listed as a 66 and its a 67. I know, minor detail.  :o
Thanks

It is with deep regret that I must remove my name from the attendees for the red wing meet. Unforseen financial concerns have arisen. Perhaps next year or if you're in NE wisconsin please look me up. :'(

Sorry,

Meet Schedule
« Reply #35 on: August 19, 2009, 06:31:10 PM »
Greetings Everyone!
I am very excited that the meet is only days away.  I would simply like to lay out a time line and give basic information to those of you that are coming.  I have made up a spread sheet that has all of the information for those of you that replied to me with your reservation information.  I have assigned each person a RV or Tent location and slips based upon your requests.  I have also tried to accomodate each person as best as possible with the resources that we have been given at the campground.  Please note that the enterance to the campground is on the WI side of the Hwy 63 bridge.  The physical address is more in Hagar City than it is in Redwing.  If you are traveling over the Hwy 63 bridge from MN to WI, the entrance to the campground is the first road on the left after you leave the bridge.

Lisa and I will be located in a site immediatly accross from the office building at the campground.  Since I have recieved money from many (but not all of you) I would like to have you check in with Me (or Lisa) and we will check you off of our list and then make sure that you are squared away with our campground hosts.  The campground hosts and I will be in touch on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning so that they can focus on all of their other guests and I can take care of our group.

Our schedule is going to be generally loose and open to your intreptation of what you would like for the weekend.  The only thing that I ask is that everyone be at the marina by 1:30pm on Saturday so that we can all participate in a group river run.  We are going to have a videographer on board with us and he will be taking video footage of all the boats in action that are part of the river run.  If you are not with the group, you may not be in the video.

Here is the proposed schedule -

Friday -
12:00pm-7:00pm     Group arrival and Check in with Brian Bergstrom (Dinner on your own).
                             Social time and introductions
                             Please check with Lisa to sign the guest book and have a photo taken as you arrive!
7:00pm - 10:00pm    Evening activities and Campfire

Saturday -

8:00am-9:30am       Breakfast (Skillet style breakfast with Scrambled eggs, fresh vegetables, potato's and sausage).
9:30am-11:30am     Open social time.  This is free time to do anything that you like...  Get to know new friends!
11:30am-1:00pm    Lunch on your own

1:00pm                  Begin to gather at the marina for the afternoon river run 
                              videographer arrives at Island campground and begins to get footage

1:30pm                   Depart from Island campground marina as a group
                               If the weather and wind is mild, we intend to travel 19 miles south to the Hok-Si-La public beach just north of Lake                                  City.  This is where many of us beached last year.  There is dock gas at local marina's, and sandy shoreline to                                    beach.

2:30pm-5:00pm        Social time and video footage at Hok-Si-La public beach.

5:00pm-6:00pm        Travel back north to Island Campground

6:00pm-7:30pm        2nd Annual CGOAMN Fish Fry!  Our videographer will also be shooting this time with us.

7:30pm - ???            Social time and campfire


Sunday -                 Free Time and Check out

Ok,  So the most important time (and the only hard time schedule) is the 1:30pm departure from the marine heading toward Lake Pepin.  Please do everything that you can to be on time for that departure!

I would also like to ask that people bring side dishes for the dinner meal...  Some salads and desserts to pass would be very nice.  Firewood would be great for people to bring as well!  Please bring beverages for your families to enjoy!

Blessings to all!  This is going to be great.

Greetings from Island Campground!
« Reply #37 on: August 20, 2009, 09:04:19 PM »
Hello everybody!  Lisa and I are "blogging" from the campground.  At the moment, it's raining on our tent.  The grounds are soggy, but the host has said that everything will dry out in the sun tomorrow pretty fast!

We have paid for all of the camping for everyone that is registered, so, as you all arrive, please check in with Lisa and I, and we will get you oriented to the grounds.  We are trying to be as light a burden to the campground host as possible.  As a side note, we have a few less sites than I expected, so we will be putting the tents close together.  This will be fine, and we will have a great time!

The marina looks great!  We have lots of spaces, and there is only one (outsider) boat that will be in our pictures.  I tried to cut his mooring ropes, but was told not to...  :)

I have my phone if anyone needs me...  651-260-5266


See you all soon!
