Title: 2011 Boat Show
Post by: ChfBrianB on December 27, 2010, 07:13:51 PM
Greetings everyone...

It looks as if (as a club) we are not going to be participating in this years Minneapolis Boat Show.  There is a chance that our event planner will be interested in having us at the March Sportsmans Show.

None the less, the event planner loves our club, and would like to work with us in the future.  As a gesture of good faith, she has sent us 50 FREE TICKETS to this years Minneapolis Boat Show, January 20th-23rd.  I would like to offer these tickets to the club on a first come first serve basis.

All you need to do is send me an e-mail to cgoamn@yahoo.com with the number of tickets that you would like to request.  Please contact me asap so I can get these in the mail.

Happy New Year!

Brian

Would be a bad year to transport a boat to show ...

Ok everyone...  8 tickets are spoken for, but that leaves quite a few left.  Don't be afraid to ask for a few...  I hear that they are going to have some classic wooden boats on display as well.  The Power Squadron is going to have a booth as well.

Let me know if you would like some tickets!

Sorry to hear that the club won't be at the show!  Glad to see that Retro Perf. will have a a classic Glastron there.  Shipwreck Boat Works will also be displaying a restored CV16SS, in LIME SQUEEZER GREEN flake.  If you need boats to display I'm sure I could come up with a couple newly restored Glastrons for the show.  More boats the better!

Hey....Thanks for the welcome! 
Yea, we're Shipwreck Boat Works.  I'll post some  pics of that latest Glastron CV16SS we're finishing up.  It needed structurally rebuilt & then an extreme make over from blue to the lime Squeezer Green monster flake.  We rebuilt the interior back to original but all the seat structure is out of plastic that will never rot!  We restore a lot of Glastrons and seldom get time to work on our own.  Currently, I have 2 '64 Jetflite 143, a '68 143 SS and a '76 CV16SS.  My son Ryan hopes to have his CV16SS restored & ready for the water this summer.  I'll have my '68 143SS ready, if all goes well.  Look forward to see everyone on the water!

"  Look forward to see everyone on the water! "

Last year we started doing more runs on the Mississippi between St.Paul & Hasting and on the Mn. river.
Less traffic and less monster wakes from yachts.
Mark your calendar for the BIG Red Wing meet ... Ya don't want to miss that one ... It G/C heaven !

Welcome Scott!

I know you guys re-did the Donzi for the "Bling Your Boat"  contest a few years back. Can't remember if you did the SeaRay that was coverted from a closed to an open bow the year before. Too bad they only did that for 2 years, it was one of the better attractions at the boat show.

Let's see come pictures of that CV with the "Lime Squeezer Green" metalflake!

Here is an update on project Challenger, like most of my stuff it is not a restoration(more like street rods for the water) at the back there are two "lift pads" hopefully these will free up the rear and allow some air to escape from the underside. Never tryed this before, any thoughts/opinions would be appreciated.

Darren Allison used a trick at the end of his hulls, a small bump or down curve that was supposed to add miles per hour to the speed.

My flat bottom 11' racing runabout had a lapped bottom with one board about 1/2" lower than the other to form a small pad, but do not know if it was speed effective or just a way to build the boat stronger.

any thoughts/opinions would be appreciated.

Those little tab's, in my opinion, do two things, they give the reat of the smaller boats a little lift to the hull with a heavier motor hung on the transom, and the actually do help prevent porpusing, they had been added to the Yellow Jacket I'm working on also, it had a 70 hp six cylinder on it.

Project Challenger made it to the show.  Hope to see some members there.  By the way, the lime squeezer green CV looks really COOL!

Nice! I'll have to check it out when I'm down there tonight. I want to know what it costs to have something like that done, or maybe I don't! ;)

Wow! Amazing restoration on that boat. Incredible attention to detail. It was blue when they started with it. The pictures don't do it justice.
Title: Re: 2011 Boat Show
Post by: Jason on January 22, 2011, 11:18:23 AM
here are a few more pictures. The CV16SS looks great! Nice job!

The orange on the Contender is nice too. I nice calm metal flake.

Got to see the new Glastron's. I liked this one. More of a Lincoln then a Glastron though!

The trailer on this old wood ski boat is crazy! It's got to weigh more than the boat.

The huge wood Tempo is just amazing!

Overall, pretty good show. Hopefully they decide to feature us next year.

Pictures from the boat show. My main interests were restored boats, props, and racing boats. Got some ideas for my project and made some connections.

Some more pictures from the boat show.  

The restored 16 CVSS looked gorgeous. The owner saw it for the first time at the boat show, taking the cover off it. Until then, Shipwreck would sent him samples of carpet, vinyl, and other items to choose from since he is from the Dakota's. The dash gauges are fantastic - make by Livorsi, including a GPS speedometer.  Shipwreck told me the price range of the restoration project - still reasonable considering what a new purchase would be. The seat bases are compost so no rotting. Only wood left is in the deck. The owner is now thinking of repowering it. Shipwreck seems open to share the source of their many vendors. The rubrails used were purchased in 12' and 16' sections not from Taco. Scott said they have resin that is better than most stuff available (less fillers) and would sell in smaller quantities.  

Don, from Retro Performance Marine, lives in the Twin Cities, and boats at Lake Owasso near me.

Thought Jerry Sellner was ignoring me until I found out it was Jim Sellner instead, his identical twin brother. Both great guys that loving boating to the core.

Yes that green really pops in person.  I spoke with the Shipwreck guys about my CVX and I got some ideas for down the road. 

Even with all the new boats they had there at the show nothing really got my interest like what Shipwreck and Retro had on display.  Those old woodies were very neat also.

I also noticed that the insert was not a Taco marine part either. Didn't ask where they got though.

Thanks for posting the pics of the 'Lime Squeezer Green" CVSS.  It was good to talk with many members at the show and share the process.  We enjoy talking with those who know their boats and appreciate the effort.  Invite all to stop by the shop any time you're in the neighborhood an see what we're working on........

Will try to find the time to finish one of our '64 Jetflite's in time for summer fun!  Looking forward to open water & summer fun!
