Thanks to everyone at this years SJRR for making Stacey & I feel so welcome! We both had a blast enjoying a beautiful FL day with everyone! Our only regret was not staying for the entire weekend. But....we had so much fun today that we pre-booked a cabin for next year before we left Parramores! Thursday-Sunday!
Beautiful weather, great company, and Correct Crafts abound. What else could you possibly need? 
The factory sent a couple of brand new boats up as well, and they were nice!

Rumor has it that Halston (Sweet77) might have to change his name to Sweet76..... Did you end up pulling that beauty home with you?

Thanks to all that put this event together (Billy and Karen). Team Seal had a blast and it was great putting names to faces. Looking forward to next year. Hopefully everyone got home with little or no difficulties and safe.
So far Jennifer posted many pictures on Facebook.and looking forward to the ones Dave is going to post. Cheers to all! Team Seal Jody & Michele |

I second that request. It's pretty easy, go to the album page and open each image in it's own window (right click on the image and select 'open in new window'). Then just copy/paste the link to the page into the Insert Image icon in the Post Reply page. |

That's Les & Cindy Todd's boat. It's a 2009 promo boat that lives on their private lake. They both came out and hung with us all day Saturday and Saturday night.
Les is a huge NASCAR Fan and his boat reflects that.

Looks like a lot of people, great weather and a great time. Did CCF make a big showing at the Tavares Boat Show?

Billy entered his wooden CC Boat in a wet slip. About twelve of us went to the show on Friday to look around. Some went yesterday ( Sunday) to the show. It was one hour from Paramore's. I would guess that there were 100 boats in the water and 300 more on the land at the Mt. Dora show in Tavares Florida. lots of vendors and some beautiful boats to look at. I believe there were two wooded CC's in the show and one was Boat Doctor's. I was told that if you were to enter our boats into the show and leave them on the trailers, you basically have to leave them at the show all weekend. If you traveled to the show by water, and paided for a show slip you could come and go as you please. We did not want to loose access to our boats for the weekend. I hope this helps, Donald |

WOW! What a weekend! I think it's safe to say that the SJRR was a complete and total success. I'm worn out from all the activities from the weekend and the drive home late last night. It was truly the best River Run yet and was really bummed out when I put the boat on the trailer for the trip home.
HUGE thanks to Lorrie at Parramores for putting up with a bunch of "Boatnick's" and going above and beyond on many things that came up that she took care of and told us not to worry about it. Thanks to Bill Yeargin for coming out and visiting us on Friday night. I had sent him an email letting him know that we were going to be there and he responded back saying that he had plans with his daughters that were home for Spring Break. His plans had changed and he made the trip up,stopped and talked to each fan individually gathered at the Blackwater Inn for dinner. It was a surprise visit and a good one at that. The CCFans were true to form and were willing to help in any way they could from asking me how they could help,offering rides to those who needed one, offering something cold to drink on the water if somebody ran out, bringing enough food to feed a small army ( which I think we had), manning the grills and fry cookers, to launching/retrieving boats down to even wiping them down. Mr. Ralph is always a treat but to have 5 or 6 generations of Meloons there was truly a blessing in itself. I had several members of the family thank me for having such an event and how neat it was to see so many people care that much about a ski boat. I told them all that I had nothing to do with it but it was the CCFans themselves who come together to have this event but that a small few just kinda dictate to what was needed. I think I even heard some family members say they were planning on joining us for the whole weekend next year. It can be easily summed up and Billy put me on the spot Saturday night and I think most of you there would agree.... " It's not about the Correct Craft boats we drive........it's about the people who drive them!" Reid ACTUALLY skiing behind The OC!

For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

Yes correct Parramores is right off the main part of St Johns River about a mile from Lake George its old florida I call it in its natural state, which is still used for laser guided bombing runs.
It was great to meet and see so many Correct Craft people that attended, boats, food and of course I couldn't leave out the apple pie ;). I've already heard from other nautique people that want to come next year! I will be getting in earlier friday to get some skiing in! The CD I think Morfoot made for the goodie bags I am guessing... has some good tunes on it. |

as long as we are calling out personal favorites..I gotta go with the close-up of the 2 phone guys..
Seriously tho...what an awesome day. Had a great road trip with my ski partner, Eddie-backfoot100. He was along for the ride on the first SJRR and was quite surprised by the growth. Was super to meet so many new Fans and their wives or girlfriends. Impressed by all the younger guys as well. It isn't just old guys that like these boats. Thanks to Gary and MaryFrances for the ride...AdamT for the belated Christmas present...Marty for sharing with me a great treat, I'll let the pictures do the talking Marty! MoorFoot for the great CD's....Billy and Karen for all they do. I even made a new Fan/friend from outa the country..was very cool to meet Roger. Cool how people come from everywhere to be at a C/CFan reunion. Well worth it. Only thing that could've made it better would've been if my bro Bill had made it down here a day earlier to attend. MoorFoot is right...C/Cfan...what a great bunch of guys! john |

Well were do I start, First the BEST part is to see Mr.Ralph and his family. The worst part, is its over and to say the good-byes.. Just to hear the people already saying we'll be back is the reward !!!! 
To say thank you to all that made it a great time would take to long, so thank you to everyone !!!!!
