Thanks jbear for your nice comments. I know my dad is smiling. I would never want him to leave where he is, but it would be nice if he could ride with us one more time. Godfather, a picture running together would be great. Maybe we can get that pic one day. All the nominations are wonderful. Love seeing all those classic boats, and how people take such great care of them. I can always say I am blessed with the people I have met while carrying on conversations about these boats. I think the Meloon family can say these boats are definitely used for the glory of God in our chance to meet and witness. Thanks again to all.

Some great pics on here! Cool to see some boats that I have seen in person in locations I have never seen. So many lakes and so little time and so many great CC owners to meet along the way.

I wonder if I can sway the judges with the fact that Keith's dad, Roy is riding along in this one.

I'm a little partial to this shot Tim Morfoot took, except for the driver. Actually, thanks to Joe we were able to get it running right on that day. Just can't seem to get the air that the Godfather managed though.

Speaking of getting that thing running right.. any chance you have pulled that alternator off and sent it in to be rebuilt.. I dont think that thing has been charging the battery in years.. I recall jump starting it in back in lake george what 3 years ago..

.....any chance of you taking a big gulp of shut the $%&* up, and leaving me alone . Now that I think of it, I think you're absolutely right, and I promise to pull it off this week. Or maybe just charge the battery.......again. As for Jeff's Separator, the engine is obviously too large and powerful and causing the stern to sit lower; automatic calendar disqualification! Kidding of course as that boat is hot and REALLY needs to be in the calendar, but that's just my one vote. Gotta bring that beast to the next Midwest reunion! |

The Separator is definitely cool.
That's a V-drive, right? I'd be curious to see shots of how the interior is laid out. |

That Separator pic from the brochure looks almost like there's a bench running up the side rather than a second bucket. I've seen pics of smaller Donzis that are set up like that. I think it's pretty cool.
Here is another pic I'm nominating. I grabbed it from the Midwest Reunion recap thread: |

That Separator rocks! Definite calendar-material if you'd ask me.

Hi, Keith
Having some problems downsizing the photo of our boat from my file to this page; could you just use the existing pic that's on/in the CCF file to post it for the calendar photo entry? Thanks for your help! Sue & Tom Smith (orange '78 SN) |

Phil! Awesome picture! I hope everything is recovering as well as you could hope out at Delhi. Shoot me an email. My Dad asks me everytime we talk if I have heard from the guy getting the Ski Nautique re-gel'd.
Sorry for the thread jack! |

Jeff, If you have the wife on board for GL you are already ahead of the game. You definitely need to bring that sweet boat up there! You'll both have a great time. Very cool boat, needs to be in the calendar for sure. |

Some pictures i took from previous summer, the quality isnt as good at the originals that i have, and these pictures are about 75% smaller than the originals as well.

Wow! That looks a lot like my first Nautique! Hmmmm... Does it not have combing pads? How long have you had her and where did she come from? Just curious, as there weren't many brown ones around this part of the midwest, at least. Looks good!!

Dad bought this in 84 from a camp in Chattanooga Tn, and he passed it down to me 3yrs ago. since then only thing ive had to replace is oil pump and rebuild the carb, and has 2066hrs which this winter im gonna pull the engine and pull the heads off to see the condition of the cylinder walls and repaint the whole engine. I dont normally see any ski nautiques around my area that are around my yrs. Everyone complements the ole gal and is always amazed to hear about how many hrs it has on it. and im not sure by what you mean by combing pad

Thanks, Keith |

I'm reiterating my vote for blurbs on the boats. Stuff like: -Year and model of the boat, especially if it's a rarer one -Engine specs, especially if it's been modified or is a rarer option -Restoration info it it applies -where the picture was taken -how you use the boat. Not all of the pictures would have to have all of that, but a little bit of info would definitely add to the pictures. |
