southeast NE

So as to not continue to hijack Brian's thread on regionality of older CCs, I thought I would summarize some of the SE NE info that came to light in that thread.

It seems there are at least 7 of us within an hour or so of each other. By my count, we have


CapeCodCC, Vince, Harwich MA (80 SN)
Keith, (our fearless leader) Leominster MA, (86 Silver Ann)
Nautique 2001, Ken, Upton MA
TRbenj,   Tim,   Medford MA   (90 SN)
Luke, Wakefield, MA, 79 SN
Nauti84, Scott,   Rehoboth MA
75 tique, Larry, Sandwich MA

Updates (2-9-06)

Jeff Kostis, Sanford ME, 74 AND 76 Mustangs.
mgwsed, Worcester, MA, 1994 Nautique
Mark Mel, Lake Zoar, CT, 78 Nautique
862001, John, Freemont NH
66Skylark, Kyle, Blackstone, MA


Seems we have enough minimal/no muffler ammo here that we could cause quite a raucous on some unsuspecting lake some quiet morning. Anyone else out there we should know about?

I'd certainly love to get together with some other CC Fans. I grew up and store the boat on a lake in CT, but now live in Medford/work in Andover, MA. Still in need of a tow vehicle, but I could probably make arrangements!

    Hey Jbear, you must be soooo excited Mrs JB is back that you mistaken Ma for Me.
I am in southern Maine about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hrs from Boston. You know the old saying about Maine, "you cant get there from here".
And Jbear, you are retired and should be able to take a cruise northward where the cold ones are always cold waitin for ya guys!!!

    Jbear, what you will find is that the cold ones are stronger here in the north for 2 reasons..

1) Makes us able to deal with the long winters.

2) Prevents the bottles/cans from freezing in the truck saving us from one heck of a mess!

If I were retired, I would have that 80 rattling windows everywhere!!!

I'm sure we'll attract some attention where ever we end up meeting. Should be a good time. I'm game for meeting anywhere...within reason! There's got to be a few more locals on this site.

Hey Jeff,

We've talked before. Our old 66 is in ME, not far from you, but I live down in Blackstone, MA.

When I talked to Craig Warner from NECC last fall, he mentioned his wish to host a 'reunion' for CC owners here in NE. (Kind of like the events in Orlando, OH, etc., only a smaller scale.) I believe he said he had one years ago, but would like to have another.

He was so busy getting his new showroom up and running last year, plus he picked up a couple of new boat lines, he didn't have time to dedicate to putting an event together.

Being so busy, he was hoping to find someone to volunteer to put the event together. He�d host the event and he believes he can get CC to throw in some give-aways, etc�

I just saw him at the Providence Boat Show and he mentioned it again. After talking to him again, I've thought about volunteering to help.

I've worked with some of the event planners here at work, so I'm familiar with event planning.

In addition to whatever CC throws in, Craig thought he could put together a couple of prizes for oldest boat, etc.

I was thinking he might be able to get a couple of vendors to contribute too.

Let me email him and see exactly what he's thinking about...

Out of curiosity, how many here think they'd be interested in attending a CC reunion, probably sometime this summer @ NECC in Rochester, NH?

Go for it guys! Look at the interest for Green Lake. WE're gonna make Keith and this site and all the charecters (sp?) here famous.

I'd love to get together with Craig and company at NECC. I know them all too well. If we can incorporate a day of skiing or whatever on a lake, even better. NH has some outstanding lakes. Count me in!

Ken

Hey 75 tique,
Great thread.
It'll be great to keep this going and get a good list of all the local New Englanders, where they live, where they ski, the boat they have etc. (a little more info than what shows up in everyone's screen name.)
Myself, I went out and bought a moterhome last year, hoping to be able to find some campgrounds on lakes and be able to drop the boat in and stay for the weekend or a vacation week.
Anyone who knows of any campgrounds give me a shout!

    Being able to get together and put the boats in somewhere and go for a group spin would be neat! Does anyone have any dates in mind, or a confimed location???? With all the old boats around, staight piped CC in a convoy would sound cool!!
                             Jeff...

I would certainly like to attend- I hope you wouldn't mind having a non-straight piped Nautique in the convoy!

Alan,

Will do.

Ken

Sounds good. We're neighbors. I'm in Upton.

Any pictures of your '94 Nautique?

Ken

Hey All,
Sorry for my absence. Just got back from a short vacation skiing (snow) in Colorado.

I hope to have the registration page up for the Green Lake reunion this week.

As for a NE reunion. This would be great! I'd be happy to contact NECC to see if they would be interested. I'm also open to other vendors. If anyone has a contact at an interested vendor, have them contact me.

In the mean time, I could use the help finding a location. A state park with boat ramp, docks, beach and BBQ facilities would be ideal.


Thanks,
Keith

This outing that we're planning can be open to anyone who's brave enough to tow their boat to New England. If Correct Craft gets involved, then this will definately a trip to be made. Our friends in NY and beyond, stay tuned.
