Steve, There are on-water events scheduled through-out Saturday. The hydros will start running early in the morning. Last year they had two cranes to hoist them in the water. Around 2 PM an on water parade is scheduled for any show participant wanting to get their boat wet. Race boats will again be back out in the late afternoon. And then at 9PM Musco Lighting is planning to light the river for a "first-ever" night parade of the classic boats. After all this...fireworks are planned! You really need to bring that Classic of yours down! The hog roast is just for those showing boats,and is only Fri night. Food will be available all weekend thru vendors tho. Plus,you can get hotels for as little as 50 bucks a night! (gotta hurry...rooms are booking fast) Check out some of the boats already registered in the "Boats" tab! |

I'm only a little more than 2 hours away. Might have to go down and check it out. Don't think my boat is showing material though. Maybe someday I can get it to that point.

Steve,
Looks like a cool show. Seeing the vintage racers would be very cool. How much of the show is on land and in the water? Also, is there a pig roast all weekend or just on Friday? |

Just wanting to update everyone about the upcoming Muscatine Ia boat show May 16-18.
This is only the second year for this show. Last year with 128 boats there , it is believed to have been the second largest show in the nation! They are hoping for upwards of 200 boats this year! They have everything from woodies, fiberclassics, inboards , outboards, as well as vintage and modern hydros, drag boats, etc. (the race boats will actually be running exibitions). Last year we only had two Correct Crafts.. mine and Magicman's 81. A couple of other CCF guys came down for a day to look around. Lets see if we can get a few more CC's to show this year! The "normal" cut off date for boats is 1975, However, they have agreed to let early 80's(like Alan's) Correct Crafts in! Remember... entry is FREE! Plus, if you come Friday , they have a hog roast...only 7 bucks single or 9 bucks for couples.. what a deal! So all you guys with the "older" CC's ..plan to bring your boat!... It was a great time.. ask Alan! 
Here's a link to the show's site! |
