What a GREAT TIME with GREAT PEOPLE !!!!
Besides thanking Alan ,Dave and Keith for there time invested in getting this off the ground, I want to thank the MANY people that traveled hunders and literally thousands of miles to be there.. Talk about commitment! Weather could have been a tad bit nicer on Sat(cloudy, windy and mid 70s). We had troubles at first getting The Boat DR and his wife Karen to experience the "refreshing" Wisconsin water... after much coaching (and a few southern-wimp insults) Karen was a trooper and took the first plunge (wish you could have heard the scream)... after that what could Billy do , but get wet? 
I also wish everyone could have been there to see (and hear) 25 Correct Crafts idling around , waiting for the parade out to the bay...what a sight! Make sure to start your plans to attend for next year!!!

Same here Alan. Original thought was to depart at noon on Sunday, 9 short hours later we were on the road. CCFan put the unborn grandkids of the Goose Blind through college this past weekend. Once I can find my camera I will post some pics. |

I wish I could have stayed longer on sunday, really wanted to Hollywood, Quinner, Johny, and TRBenj try another run with decent water. But my wife had to be home for work and my brother had class first thing this morning. If only we had Sunday's weather on Saturday. All and all it was a great time.

Word, I had a nice string of messages from my bank today regarding the series of atypical debit charges and withdrawals over the weekend, I can't decide if that shotski is a remarkable bit of marketing or a tool of the devil. |

Great time once again in GL, it was awesome meeting all the new owners and once again seeing those we met last year, it was also quite an honor recieving the best in class award particularly considering all the great boats we had this year.
I do believe fun was had by "AllyaAll" (hope I spelled that right Doc) cause it sure was the case for me!! Thanks again to Keith, Alan, Mojo and others and also CC for all they added as well, looking forward to seeing "AllyaAll" again next year!! |

Who's Who? Last minute schedule changes and a little mis-communication between Mike Seipel and I lead to a pretty good morning for few guys with the opportunity for some barefoot instruction that was not on our list of things to do this year. Just an added bonus I guess. |

81, I do believe that boom goes on record as the longest boom ever. I can't imagine the recoil when that thing lets go!

I really, really tried, but I still can't get rid of Quinner's send off on Sunday afternoon from my mind.

Here's a couple of the shots that my wife lovingly uploaded while "working" at Notre Dame today. Hopefully she'll have more time for personal stuff tomorrow.
A couple of our favorites: These pics are from Thursday and Friday morning before the event "officially" began. TRBenj launching the 90 at the campground Thursday. 
Tied up Thursday at the campground 
The "magic" 81 and one of Reid's fleet after a safe departure from the toy hauler. What a sight! 
Loren - one of Stang72's boys showing off on the boom. Great water at 7:30 friday am 
The mini-floatilla before the meet and greet Friday. L to R - Reid, Reid, Marshall, Stang72, Brian, Rleinen79, Maddmarx, Quinner 
Quinner, MM, and myself, racing to the sandbar.....guess who won this race? I'll give you a hint...it wasn't me or Quinner 
Reid and Marshall 
Loren again, this time on the board, ripping it up behind Quinner's 206. That's JMurph on the left, and Stang72 on the right providing "extra ballast" 
Your best of show winner, no surprise, Pete Brainard's 54 Atom Skier. It was pristine! 
More pics to follow. I've definitely enjoyed the others. Keep them coming! Rob |

ealier in the who's who pic posted by 81 nautique. Minor correction Ken(Nautique 2001) is sitting by the windshield. I am laying on the dog house and my brother is sitting in the very back his head is barely visiable because of Keith's barefoot spray. TRBenj and johny were in the correct order.
That was a great morning for me, hope the rest of you guys had as much fun as I did. Plus I thank you all for the wonderful award of best in class. |

GL was definately everything I expected and then some. It was great to meet you all face to face. What a great bunch of folks.
Very impressive boats at the reunion. Too many to specifically mention, but I loved Reid's blue Mustang, fast as hell. Tim did a great job building up his 351, huge mid range punch. James' BFN is a work horse. It flipped 1,400 hours and didn't miss a beat for us. Alan's 81 Nautique is a keeper. Love every little detail on that boat. MM's lime Nautique was a cool looking boat, fast too. Too many to mention. I'm sure they'll all be mentioned by the end of the GL threads. Here's some pictures of the morning that James, Keith, Johnny, Tim, James' brother and I launched Jame's BFN at 5:15AM. There were 2'-3' waves, 25-30 MPH winds, lightning off in the distance. I thought we lost our marbles, but after picking Mike Seipel up and crashing through the waves, we found glass. Thanks to Alan for putting the barefooting together for us. He was a trooper for meeting us at the ramp at 5:00AM.

Alan,
I think an '08 CorrectCraftFan.com calendar is a great idea. I'll have the FTP site setup soon for people to upload high-res photos. Thanks, Keith |

That's a slap in the balls to Brian AND Keith!
I just realized this thread was a sticky in all the top three forums, no need to keep going back to the Reunion forum (where I've been going). |

Actually it kinda looks like Jim Koch of Sam Adam's brewing co. (all the way to the left) With that facial expression, it's a tough read. I'd never figure that was Keith. Edit- Oh, Keith in the yellow hat? Woulda never guessed. I suppose I haven't seen him for a year though. |
