WAIT WAIT WAIT! I thought you and Hollywood were an item? I know thats not hollywood in that picture. They look very similar but hollywoods hair is just a tad shorter than that, everything else looks pretty similar |

Thanks, Brian. Very happy with the boat. Allie is absolutely thrilled with it and already got behind the wheel.

Ken
Nice ride. I noticed the carpet sag in the photos; my '95 signature did the same thing. I peeled it back and got Loctite spray adhesive sprayed both carpet back and side wall. Let it tack then carefully (it’s like using contact cement) reattach the carpet. Hasn’t sagged since. |

Beats me! Maybe we should get one going. If everyone planning to attend could let me know how many people to expect, and when, that would be great.
I'm planning to pick up a bunch of grillable items and a bunch of beer. Any and all food/beverage contributions would be much appreciated! |

3 here arriving early Saturday morning probably be at the launch at 7ish. Bringing the my 206 this time. I am going to send my dad and Jess out on the boat to your parents house. Where will I be able to park the trailer? down at the barn where I parked last year?
Tim let us know any specifics on if you need us to bring anything food wise. Anything to help out. |

I will bring along some hot dogs, sausage patties, and some salt potatoes. What’s the thought on beer, kegs? If you need help with logistics on that front let me know, if not I am always good for cash. I haven’t decided on whether I am bringing the boat yet.
I am hoping for no later than 5-6pm on Friday arrival. I am guessing me plus 1-3 others depending on who can get a hall pass for the weekend. |

don't know if Joe's counting mine in his headcount or not, we'll be rolling in with him Friday afternoon, me plus one, possibly two, won't know til I get to the airport probably, will have my boat. Can bring whatever, will surely have beer, just need a lit by tomorrow, cause this odyssey starts for me Friday.

Still a solid " maybe" at this point. Heading out to go camping Friday AM so i'll know better by Tuesday of next week. I can take care of myself on the consumable end of things so don't worry about me. Hoping to bring the wife if I make it down, not sure if I can talk her into a tent two weeks in a row though.

Tim,
I'll be arriving Friday mid-day and am planning to stay at 52 Sandy beach Road and am bringing the Classic and lots of barefoot ropes. Scott is coming as well, arrival time TBD. He bought an X-terra to tow Ken Spurling's '86 2001, so one more mooring!!! I'll be helping out with beverages, food and grocery runs as we find out what is running low. Will be great to see the members, first timers and retunees!!1 Uncle Todd |

To be clear I am not counting Adam, Kristie, or others in my preliminary headcount... I cannot be held responsible for that crew! ![]() Hell, I would rather not be held responsible for my behavior either. Basically one week out.. Lets see some people jump off the fences... this will be a really good time, in fact I will guarantee it. If you get there and don't have a good time I will personally refund your entry fee. Besides Ken broke his ankle skiing so we are going to need someone else for the parasailing exhibition this year. |

Me and my girlfriend will be there. It's not looking good for the mustang to join us but I'm gonna give it a shot. I'm traveling from Saturday to Wednesday so that kills my opportunity to work on the boat. I've really only got tomorrow night.

Its looking like we are going to have an excellent turnout! Only a few days away now...
In addition to all the usual stuff you'd bring to the lake, here are a few recommendations on gear: 1. Anchor... we have a lot of dock space and a few moorings, but I think we'll have more boats than normal! 2. Air mattress... We should be able to put a roof over a decent number of heads, so we'll take advantage of any and all floor space. Barring that... 3. Tent. Lots of dry lawn space! 4. Food/Beer. I'm going to pick up a bunch of essentials, but any additional food or drink brought will surely not go to waste. Plenty of grills and refrigerators around to cook and store stuff. A note about parking... this is always a fun one. ![]() Those who havent been here before... the lake is small (<200 acres), so if you come by water, you cant miss us. Obstructions are few, and generally well marked with buoys. Stay 100' from docks/shore, dont venture *too* far into the narrow coves and you'll be fine. The lake is shallow, with a sandy/muddy bottom. Water temps are currently in the upper 70's. See everyone in a few days! |

Tim,
Should I keep food to grillables? A friend of mine owns an Italian Restaurant/Deli and could probably hook me up with some foil trays of pasta/lasagna etc. Heating it up could be a bit of a challenge on a grill, but probably do-able. |

Aluminum sandwiches all weekend for me I do not plan on operating any craft besides Pauly's stand up jet-ski. With all this food talk I sure hope the septic tanks are ready.

Ok, good to hear. Eggplant Parmesan doesn't typically do well on the grill

Tim,
Just PM'd you and Chris Mars on him towing the Tique (with the new scarry fast motor) from Scotia, NY to Tyler. But anyway this looks to be a great weekend, and lots of fun, info sharing, and adult beverages. Looking forward to seeing all, incluing Bruce and Hollywood as I know somewhere back there they are brothers!!! I can see the resemblance!! They both drive Buicks!! UT |

Hey Quinner, I just put two and two together. I used to live on Candlewood in the Knolls outside New Fairfield. Where is your place at? |

Man, It sounds like you Tim's is the place to be this weekend.. Sounds like you guys will have a blast... Wish I can make it out, so at least there will be someone responsible enough to talk to the police when they show up hahahaha...
Carrie and I are headed to the Key's this weekend for our 50th birthdays. Maybe next summer ????? Moj' |

Sure wish I could make this event that is close to home but three weeks in Italy takes precedent. Hope the weather holds out for you all. Maybe my son bwinn will take a ride over hard to say.

Well, I get a text msg from reid telling me to pack a bag, catch a flight to Charlotte on Wednesday and drive up with him in the Race City RV. Sooooooo, guess I'm on a plane this afternoon and road tripping with Reid. I must be crazy....
