Oh yes there will be a lot of Sking and Wakeboarding and footing. Orlando Nautiques will bring some new boats for demos. However, you will find that tubing is not a big sport with these guys. We like to see folks on skis with these ski boats. Also never speak favorabley about Fram Oil Filters and do not speak about soft spots on the floor. Trust me.  We are looking forward to meeting your entire family. There shoud be some more teenagers, but not a lot. I hope this helps, Donald |

Yes on the boat show,This will be our 5th year, we enter one of our CorrectCraft woody's every year. This year we will display our 1958 Starflite Thursday all day and maybe a return trip for a spell on Friday.
Mt. Dora was the main reason SJRR is always the last full weekend in March. CorrectCraft will be well represented again this year. We will bring extra shirts, but the small sizes go fast. We will do our best to satisfy all that attend, but if you do not sign up on Friday night , you will have to take what l have....Billy |

Thank You.
Shirts, if you have them, 4 Smalls, 2 Mediums, and 1 XLarge. $70.00 A few years ago, I missed the opportunity of a tour of the Correct Craft plant with Ralph. I had to be in Washington, DC. He did send me his book, which I found very good. I sure would like to personaly meet him, but I think I would be stretching it with the girls and the early morning race. You do know, also, is the Antique boat show in Tavares? (Mt Dora) Same weekend. We are looking forward to meeting everyone. Will there be other teens? Will anyone be skiing, wakeboarding, tubing? The girls are asking me to bring the B-52. I rather not, but I hate to miss out on the fun they would have with others on it? What do you think? |

Bret, Thats great to hear, we are excited. I am bringing three teen daughters. Will there be many others? They too are excited. And thanks for the earlier compliment on the boat!
We are running a race early Saturday morning (up at 4am)in Winter Park, so it would be a long day to stay the night. |

Jerry, we'll be easy to find. Just look for about 30 Correct Crafts that have taken over the dock at Hontoon Island. We shouldn't be that hard to find.

Thank You Billy!! Not sure about eve. I would love to but not sure with my girls, after race and on water all day? If I do, I will bring food. I read Ralphs book, and would be nice to hear him. I will look forward to meeting you and the others. If I get to Hontoon 11ish, I will find you there?

I am in Orlando area, and will put in at the Highbanks ramp. (DeBary) It will take about 20 -30 minutes to hit Hontoon. Where will you be? Plan on just the day. Raft up. Would be great to meet all.

Jerry, you are definitely welcome! Come on out and join us. Saturday we will be heading to Hontoon Island for the day for a raft-up and overall good time. Whereabouts are you from and how long do you plan on staying? If you just want to come for the day for the raft-up then it will be best to put in around Hontoon Island.

Billy/Karen
I have seen the posts pertaining to the reunion "SJRR 2012". I would like, please, to know if all are welcome? I rebuilt a 92 Ski Nautique with much help from this site, and would love to meet some of those that offerred endless, priceless help. I have three daughters, Twins 15, and a 14 YO, who LOVE the Nautique, and would be very interested in a trip up. I live in Apopka, Sweetwater area. We are in a charity 10k race Saturday, 24 2012. We would love to drive up and meet all at a suggested site? Thanks for your assistance! Jerry Smith 92 Ski Nautique 95 Ski Nautique - Sold |

A glove box lid works great....
This picture was taken 3 years ago at the 50th Masters when the boatdr was asked by Mr. Ralph to bring the Dart to the Ski Tournament. Mr. Ralph autographed Billy's engine cover, and Glove box Lids for BuffaloBFN and myself.

For those on the fence, I can honestly say the 1400 miles I drove to SJRR was worth it to see Mr. Ralph speak (And the rest of you guys of course).
