Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Wish didn't have to work all week end or I would have been there. maybe next year though. Baby steps I made it to GL this year so maybe GL and Shelbyville next year.

What about a Spring trip??? Can't wait that long hahaha..

OK...more pics from the weekend:

Friday morning, Alan tuning up the 81 in the rain. Nah....the girls don't mind sitting at the table in the rain...use the tent for the boat!



This might be everyones favorite pic of the bunch: Loren (son of Stang72) swimming the MC up to the floatilla. That's what you get for bringing a MC to a CC event


Priceless. Still not starting..towed in by the 72.


All joking aside, Stang72s 84 Stars and Stripes is a beautiful boat, and thanks to them for teaching me to wakeskate behind it.



Weather threatning on Saturday. We got caught in a downpour. Everyones bilge pumps got quite a workout. The weather turned better shortly.

The 72


Todd and Renee in the beautiful 93


Hollywood backing Alans 81 off behind the Bounder. Quite the sight.



Helden, Carolyn, and Hollywood, having fun while looking for good water. Todd and Renee in the background.


"The big dogs" getting ready to foot. L to R: Hollywood, Johnny, Alan.


Saturday night at the campground. Everyone gathered around the TV to look at pics and videos of the day. What a great time!


Out of the water for the last time Sunday afternoon. The SNOB is a HUGE mess!


Hope all enjoyed!

Damn!

I was OK with missing the gathering because:

1. I had a long, awesome Labor Day weekend even though I killed my prop.
2. We got rained out about a month prior on a boat/camping trip (7" in one night, was 6" from the back of the Classic going under while beached). Couldn't risk another rain out again this year.
3. Helden would have SCHOOLED me on a wakeboard. 6 years old? I want to see supporting documentation!

But then I saw the second from last pic, where everyone is hanging out at night, tired and happy, munching and drinking. That's my favorite time, the really good stuff. Now I realized what I missed and it kills.

Next year, for sure. Glad everyone had a great time and thanks for the pics.

Alan,
Love the Bounder dumping the 81!
(Nice looking rig )
Not sure I've got the balls to do that w/ mine, especially with how sh*tty the ramps are up herein the NE!

Once again, looks like a great time had by all. Seems to be a trend with this group, whether its Green Lake, New England, Shelbyville or Reidp's, when you get CCFans together its a great time. Wish I could hit them all.

Actually, I did get up backwards one footed, then did a 720. Johnny must have photoshopped my foot below the water. THANKS!

Thanks Scott, classic everything I guess. I've dumped the boat on some ramps that would scare some 4x4's away. This particual ramp I had Kevin help me because there was no way I was taking my foot off that brake pedal.

Jbear, I really enjoyed skiing with these younger guys. Makes me push myself a little harder, I won't wait til September to start footin next season. It was nice for Dana to watch the driving too because there's a lot of pressure on her, she's starting too really handle the boat pretty well but was scared to pull me barefoot, she's ready but just doesn't know it yet.

Gary: You are most welcome anytime...here or in Tennessee.

Let me see....stang...75 Tique....Alan and me. Now we are talkin' 4 man. Would hate to add up the total age on that run.

Alan: Just try and keep Dana after it...Patti pulls multiples for us guys and is good at it. She is better than anyone except my bro and buddy Dale in our group.

Wait till you hear the thing too!! Gary's promo is also my favorite boat on the site.

Jbear , yesterday she asked me if was interested in doing a week at a ski school with her this winter. She had a good time skiing this weekend but feels a little outclassed so she doesn't ski as much as she would like. She really wants to learn more and Once she gets determined to do something, look out.

Pete...we have had it for four years and it's been a real good work horse for pulling skiers...I do have a soft spot for the stars and stripes...and I figure no paddles needed when I have a strong swimming teenage son.

And let us not forget(as painfull as it is)that boat has factory composite floor and stringers...first in the industry to do so!

The starting issue was solved at camp and the MC did see the sun on Sunday!

Now I have a bone to pick with the biased bast*rd snapping the pics
Where's the picture of the 72 getting towed in because the dump ass owner ran it out of gas... ...well maybe that's a story that need not be told

Note: Dump ass... defined by Websters as ... a type-o version of the phrase "dumb ass" when 79 has had one too many beers.

I expect to get a hard time when that boat appears on the site!

Rinker...maybe before, MC...1st official tow boat to use composites and they were the first Official TB to have a swim platform. And ... let us not forget , the first official wakeboard boat to change the pointed bow style( x-star)to the super ugly, goofy f---ed up looking,would never be seen in one...bat mobile bow...some firsts are good....some not!
