Nicely handled Phil. If I didn't know better,I'd say that last pic looks like an Illegal Floatilla....you know that's against the rules in Sandy Bay  .
What a great time.Was nice to meet some new friends & see some old friends.The wide array of boats represented was incredible.Thanks go out to all the sponsors and everyone who helped make it happen.I didn't manage to snap a bunch of photos so hopefully it won't be too long before everyone gets a chance to post 'em up. Also wanted to give a shout out to Joe Fennessy (JoeinNY)for hauling my boatless self around all day Saturday.Thanks for the pulls and the hospitality Joe.I won't soon forget those speakers,that stroker motor or the ride from Sandy Bay to Log Bay.

Many of you expressed how much you wanted me to have this boat, and for that I'm very humbled and thankful. In the end, we were unable to make that happen. However, the next best scenario was that that boat remain in the CorrectCraftFan.com family by going to someone who would respect this boat for what it is and what it represents. I'm happy to announce that a group comprised of Reid Pinkham, John Morrow, and Tony Quinn, along with HQ Marine of NC, has taken over ownership of the boat. No only will this group take exceptional care of this boat but will also continue to share it with the fans bringing it to future CCF reunions in Green Lake and Lake George. I really, really want to thank Adirondack Marine for all their hard work and support, and this group who will be taking such great care of the CCF boat. Proceeds from the sale of the boat where given to CCF -- an overly generous gesture for which I am also humbled and thankful. The boat leaves Lake George tomorrow, bound for NC. I will be posting many, many photos from this fantastic weekend shortly. Thank you to all who attended, it was you who made this event so fantastic. -Keith ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

It was a great event and I have lots of pics and vids that I will post shortly.
I knew it was going to be a great weekend regardless of the weather when as soon as I pulled in and rolled down my window to ask where to put the boat, everyone stuck their hands in the window to shake mine, in the pouring rain. They said drop it here we'll push it into a space. What a great group of people. Being in the right place at the right time, I think I got the first "fan" ski behind the Orange Crush. Followed shortly by the first spectacular yardsale, bell ringing OTF. The only complaint, it was too short. Not enough time to hang out with people and not enough time to ski/foot. lol Pics and vids to come soon. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=972&sort=&pagenum=4&yrstart=1976&yrend=1980" rel="nofollow - 1978 Nautique FBook - www.facebook.com/charliedontsurfct |

Good looking pics so far... Looks like the temps both air and water were a bit on the chilly side.. But all in all, everyone had a great time..
Yes, the events are short in time, long on memory... Just have to start on Thursday now ..... Moj' 
BTW, the 196 with the white accent graphics was the right choice... Really sweet looking machine.. Reid will take such good care of that boat.. Couldn't have gone to a better CC lover !! ------------- 05' SV211 TE 73' Martinique had:96' SNOB had:76' Nautique had 77 Tique |

Well I hate to do it but in the interest of historical accuracy I am going to have to claim that honor for myself. I was truly in the right place at the right time with an early arrival on Thursday, which put me at the hotel in time to see Dave Hendricks walking towards his cabin next to the dock where he was planning to meet Keith and Ken from Adirondack who was bringing down the CCfan Boat for its first ski (and to deliver its first whoopin to my 83). We saw Keith give that boat a workout in his first session back skiing after some shoulder issues. After which I had the honor of giving it a go, in a somewhat less impressive manner. After Keiths second session we rafted up for a bit and enjoyed the calm before the storm on a beautiful night on a beautiful mountain lake. After catching dinner at the last restuarant open in GL, we were able to meet up with marathon drivers and early arrivals Alan (81Nautique) and Dana, Reid (reidp) and Laurie, and Steve Evans (Raindog) with his unlikely crew of Chris (Quinner) and Gary (Stang72), twas a good night. Show up early people! ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

As the Boat Dr would say, a LARGE time was had by all.
Arrived home at 12:30 am CDT after leaving Lake George at 9:00 am CDT. However, Stang probably didn't hit the bed until 3:30 or 4:00 am. It was another great event, one that even a little rain couldn't extinguish. It was my first time in upstate NY and it was a beautiful piece of the country and a excellent location for the reunion. It was a privilege to see some of you for the second time this year and very cool to meet many of you for the first time. It did take a little bit to get the ol' ears tuned to all the NE dialects though. A packie store? Isn't that where Quinner and Hollywood meet? I ended up rooming with Keith (all right, let the jokes begin...). So I saw first hand how much EFFORT he puts into making this event a remarkable experience for all. The alarm was going off at 6:30 am every morning, regardless of how late the prior night lasted. Even though many lent a hand when possible, Keith was at 100% for 4 days to make sure things went smoothly. He deserves a lot of credit and appreciation for doing this successfully. Much thanks goes to Ken and everyone at Adirondack Marine and Adirondack Pub and Brewery. Those folks hustled to make sure we all were happy and satisfied. Joe, Alan, Keith and others, thanks for the seat time in your boats. Even got to drive a few which was a real treat. And for the record, it actually was a blast to spend 28 hours in a car with Quinner and Stang. Many, many laughs per mile. For all of the newcomers, make sure to reinforce your relationships by stopping by the forum frequently. That's right, I'm calling you out Barracuda Chick! Hopefully, next year we can get more midwest representation out east. Maybe a bus full. A short yellow one, of course. -Steve ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |

Steve, it was good to meet you guys from the midwest. Far as I could tell, you guys spoke just like me.
As much as I like the boats, I am amazed at what a group of great people were there. Everybody was good people. And I really appreciate how well my kids were treated. They had a blast. Next year we'll be coming early and staying late. I've got plenty more photos, including some good ones of Quinner, but I'll let others post theirs first. ------------- |

It was great having everyone in town. A true family reunion and one I'm glad to be part of. I wish I could have joined you for the skis and rafting. But since the lady-fuzz broke it up, I guess I didn't miss much. We'll find you a better spot for next year.
Dinner and awards at the pub were great yet the stories of Quinner hitting on everything that didn't dangle are still coming in and getting old. Only known the guy for 2 days and it doesn't shock me one bit. Thanks for all the courtesy you showed us northern-folk and we look forward to next year. Keep the pictures coming and who ever has the photo of a 409 in flight we would love to see it. Rumor has it all 4 spinning blades were visible. ------------- |

I tell you all, Chris Quinner is something else. He makes Andrew Dice Clay seem like boy scout. I think I spent most of my time watching my step around him over the weekend.
Quinner, you owe me a Merlot. You threw your sugar packet right inside my glass! Joe's my witness. By the way, were you responsible for the stuff stuck to my tailgate on Sunday AM? I didn't know hazing was a part of the registration, Keith!!!  ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1052&sort=&pagenum=4&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - Nautique 2001 |

By the way, the highlight of the reunion for me was Gregg Benjamin (Tim's Dad) and Quinner in the battle of wit Saturday night. Gregg had some nice shots going on CQ. Gregg in my opinion won the "insult-off". Larry, you were there, right?

It looks like somebody made some large pink and reddish spit-balls and had their way at my truck. I know CQ was tossing stuff around the restaurant all Saturday night, so I assume he may have something to do with it. I got home after a four trip and I was still pealing stuff off.

This has been said by many others before, but its worth repeating. Seeing all the boats was great, the skiing was fun, the venue was georgeous, and the planning and organization were great, but the highlight was meeting everyone. Like someone else said, just not enough time to meet everyone and do as much out on the lake as I would have liked. Its amazing how you you can be instant friends with everyone, whether it someone you feel you know pretty well through the site or someone you've never corresponded with before. Great times.
Speaking of presents, someone left me something in my boat, (something nice, not a gag) Whoever that was, thank you. 
If that wasnt me sitting back there with Quinner, I'd say it looks like the marine version of the short bus. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Since we don't have a Tique, Joe the half owner of our boat thought that someone that could use that should have it. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=972&sort=&pagenum=4&yrstart=1976&yrend=1980" rel="nofollow - 1978 Nautique FBook - www.facebook.com/charliedontsurfct |

Thanks Mark. Very thoughtful. Since I have the original on the dash (I had to double check to make sure mine hadn't gotten knocked off on that trip back down the lake), I thought the extra might look good center of transom. (not original, but I am willing to face the wrath of Pete) Good grab on your daughter's part. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

I know http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11954&PN=1 - Ken mentioned this in another post but I think it's worth mentioning again here.
On Saturday Ken Spurling ended up breaking a throttle cable out on the water as we were all leaving one location for another. Reid stepped in and volunteered to be Ken's throttle-man, operating from the carb over the four miles of open water to get to Log Bay. Once there, a call was made into Adirondack Marine from the demo 230 that was pulling the surfers. Jeff Roch, Service Manager, left the boat show that was going on in Lake George Village, grabbed a new cable from inventory, jumped in a boat and drove the 4+ miles to Log Bay, jumped in Ken's boat and changed the cable on the spot. Ken was good to go for the long drive back with an escort from Jeff, just in case. Outstanding customer service. Adirondack Marine is one class act. ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

That is remarkable, in the truest sense of the word. However, I suspect they would do it for anybody, anytime if they had the part available. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |

I am proud that we managed to put eight hours on the CCF boat on Saturday! With that said, I know not everyone got a chance to drive it or ski behind it. The good news is this boat will be making the trip to Green Lake next July and back to Lake George next September. All the more reason to not miss either event in 2009! -Keith ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

First I want to thank all for a good time. This was our first reunion and I will say for sure that it will not be the last. Next year I plan on getting there on Thursday and leaving Monday. This year was a little tough bringing our 21 month old daughter Brianna. But we all had a blast. I wish I had more time to meet and hang out with all of you. Everyone was great!
I can tell you all first hand that the service and professionalism that you all saw from Adarondack Marine is how they really are. 2 years ago on memorial day I destroyed my prop and rudder on a rock. I called Adarondack not expecting anyone to be there. Tom answered and told me he had what I needed to get up and running again and to give him a call when I was on my way and he would make sure he was there when I got there. Now that's service!! I also won't soon forget the 85 mph blast across the lake with Reid in some guys boat with twin super charged 525's Than right after that hopping into the Orange Crush. And yes we did get air!! Not sure about the prop out of the water but she was airborne. Looked behind us and there was a section of wake missing! Flyin' Bryan, make sure you bring that air chair next year. I want to see you in action on that thing! Can't wait to see more pic's. I will try to upload some when I get home as I am doing this on my Blackberry at work. Can't wait until next year! Jeff |

Mojo, Log Bay is an excellent place to anchor in just a few feet of water and is where we all ended up. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures while we were there. I know others did. ------------- |

Mojo,
There where two different 'sandbars' we visited. The first was Sandy Bay which was pretty close to Marine Village (home base) and the perfect spot. We were unfortunately kicked out for 'rafting', i.e. tying up. So then moved North about four miles to Log Bag which has an undeveloped shoreline. Despite the longer ride, I think that's where we'll start next year. Sandy Bay:

Hollywood, I was just recovering from my weekend assault from Quinner, now you're giving it to me? Man, you Midwest fellas never miss an opportunity to throw a jab or two! Are you Quinner's offspring or what? Dude, I have no idea what's up with that photo. I was trying to jockey my boat on and off the sand. My tracking fins we sucked into the sand/mud a pain in the rear to move. BTW, take a look at that photo again. I'm inside my boat and that's somebody else with their leg on my boat. I wore shorts, not a long wetsuit. There's no way that's me. So who is that?

Hey...I just wanted to thank Keith for a great job in organizing and executing the Northeast Reunion. What an awesome time! So glad to have met so many great people! I would like to also thank New England Correct Craft, Craig and Fred. They worked their butts off to get the engine in the 77 Nautigue and dial in the alignment on the transmission of the Barracuda. I hope they had fun dealing with us as much as we had fun dealing with them! The boats ran great! A little bummed when we got home from Lake George and unloaded the 2 boats...our season will be coming to a close soon. I am fighting it though! I will be out on the water until it snows if I have my way!!!! ------------- Barracuda Chick Stress dissolves when exposed to water |

I'd love to, Joe, but it is highly unlikely.
You Northeastern guy's may not realize, but most of us do not have Columbus day off, unless you work for the government or a bank. If this gets done and I pick it up, it would be winter/early spring. He can use it as a filler project since I'm in no hurry. However, I'd sure like to try some eastern snowboarding though. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |

I think so, I am trying to get some hardy souls to camp out on an island with me. Fly'n Bryan was talking about staying up a bit farther north, almost across from log bay. Possibly there are more convienient sites for future reunions. Bryan worked at a marina in that area (Bolton I think) 3 summers and he seemed to think it might work out even better. I didnt get to see nearly enough of the lake so I would like to camp up in the narrows island chain and get more of the north country in. Columbus day is the last state campground day of the year, we usually camp that weekend it can be cold but its generally doable. So yeah a little late season boating, leaves changing in the mountains, maybe a few pulls on Bryan's air chair behind my weighted down 83 etc etc. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

I thought you might say that Steve I also considered snowboarding a proper use of a later season Raindog visit and will be happy to get involved in that, maybe a day up there at one of the big moutians and some follow up around here on your way back through.
