Here are some more pics. The Chris Craft Classic Cruiser was amazing. I thought I heard that it was a 1954. The pics dont really do it justice. There are several boats I cannot believe I did not get pictures of. Can't wait to do it again!
Joe and Tim talkin prop 
Wake surfing behind the 2008 
Ummmm does that look like it is riding little heavy? 
I videoed this thing coming in and man does it sound good! Will post that vid soon. 
Now that's a helm! 
Classic indeed! 
Nice profile 
That horn was amazing! 
Eric's 1962 Classic. Correct Craft's first fiberglass model. 
My red 73 Skier and Reid's blue 72 Skier. 
I got my first ever ski-shot. Good times, great people! 
Great to meet you all!

Thanks again Reid and Laurie, it was the typical ccfan event a great time with great people, and this year we have even started to add great weather to these events. Same complaint as always... Just not enough time to spend with everyone. In fact last night it seemed 3 hours passed so fast I didn't believe the time on my phone until after I cross checked it with reid's. We couldn't quite kick the second keg but we gave it a good effort. Thanks to everyone for the rides pulls and conversations, those who couldn't make it I hope to see you soon. Me and bully are having a few drinks and watching some football in the charlotte airport we should be in ny just before midnight, save travels to all.

What a great time! A huge thank you to Reid and his wife for putting on such an amazing weekend. Hollywood, his crew, Joe and I were the last one's standing. Keg standing that is till nearly 4am!!!!
I am terrible with names and with everybody's CCF usernames it was a lot to remember, but I had a great time meeting Tim, Joe, Eric, Mojo, Moorefoot, Skicat, Bremson, Hollywood and crew, and many others whose names I never heard or heard and forgot. You know keg stands and ski shots are not very conducive to remembering! Pics and videos coming later. Youtube is sooooo slow! |

Yeap, Stephanie my daughter, talked her into coming last minute. And Kent Upton , towed the Purple Rain down for us so we could all ride in 1 vehicle, and says he had a blast. He's hooked now he says. Another CCFan family member is aboard guys
The horn on that boat sounded like a barge coming down the lake  .
It was loud and awesome man! Also if we had known, Reid had a surprise FLY BY of a prop plane flown by either Petty's or Childress' pilot! Man did he 'buzz' us close with the Top Gun wing wave and all the fireworks! One member did get a pic, so I guess you'll have to wait for it. That was a treat
BF Eddie dock start awesome dude

I saw this boat a few weekends ago at the Antique Boat Show at Lake Norman. Patrick Cruise and his son own a Boat restoration business near Race City Marine in Mooresville. I believe this is a 55 or 56 model boat. It is beautiful and Patrick is very well know in the boat restoration business. He was a few Wooden and Fiberglass / Wood Century Resorters in his shop. If you ever go to Race City Marine to visit Reid and Matt, you need to have them take you to Pat's shop Classic Cruisers. It is like a candy store for boat lovers. Lots of antique Out Board Motors. He is also a very nice guy. I hope this helps, Donald |

My 2nd 'Tow' Vehicle person bowed out on me last week, so I'm only 1 &1/2 hrs away, so I took Friday off, went down with the Skylark, left the party about 6:30pm Friday nite, then took the 93 SN down this (saturday) morn, and hadn't planned on staying later than 7 pm tonite.
But as we started down the road we could see the rain coming from the West. I didn't want to ruin the guys party and call 'em and tell them I could see it coming, so I guess it came around 8:30 or 9 pm. I hope everyone made it out of the water safely, and doesn't get sick. About 90' and sunny, and the rain was suppossed to hold off till Sunday and the high being 70' I think they were saying. |

Sorry John(Jbear) still not doing to well with all the names-Remember I'm still a 'Newbie' with these events( 3rd one only for me). Guess you'll have to wait till Sunday late or Monday before we know the correct names and off course 'better' pics.
I'm still shakin' from Joe F (JoeinNY) doing the power turn in the Purple Rain with me digging into the gel with my fingertips .

Chinese fire drill completed in record time. Storm blew in so it was a mad scramble to get boats on trailers. Got the last one on in white capping conditions and 25kt winds and the crew got everything in the garage so the party could continue............still going strong.

I think it is one of Reid's, but guess what? It's a BFN. Both BFN's at top of that pic and my Skylark to the right.
