After being a terrific costodian of the Orange Crush for about two and a half years, Reid sold the Crush to Greg Benjamin (Tim/TRBenj's dad) The boat now resides in western Connecticut and has been a featured guest (host??) at the two gatherings at the Benjamin compound these past two summers. New owner |

Thanks Reid.
The BBC sounds like a cool place to hang out on a Saturday afternoon. I'm a big fan of old CC's, cold beer and certainly beer girl posters. Looking forward to the pix. |

Even the mention of "members" is getting The Godfather aroused. He'd fit right in at the BBC.

I am sure that there are those on the website that can come up with interesting words that would work with "BBC" |

I guess that's my responsibility now and I haven't done a good job thus far. She's been proudly on display at the BBC since her trip down to Lake Norman, Mooresville/Charlotte, NC. For those not familiar with it, the BBC is the "Boys Boat Club" as someone jokingly named it, and is just a warehouse where a number of buddies store and work on boats, 90% of which are vintage Correct Crafts. We've covered the walls with CC banners and beer girl posters and have a beer stock that typically rivals An-Busch. I'll post some new picts since we had to change locations several months ago.

Sure would like to see some photos of the Orange Crush in her new home.
Also......is it just me? Shouldn't she be the featured CC on the front page by now? I'm jonesin' for some more activity on this boat. |

Now that you've explained it... I'd been wondering how they'd done that. What a beautiful job. |

Bruce, You'll see that in the above photo, Ralph's signature has been routed out with a die grinder (Dremel tool) and burr. Then a note for it to be filled with white gel. Sanded smooth and buffed out. |
