White Lake 2011 UPDATE !!!

Marty,

Either works for me. I will be there.

Donald

Hell I am still trying to figure out this weekend, but I vote the weekend after Easter for sure!

the non-easter weekend will work best for me. Just a suggestion here Marty, but Donald was telling me that at the midwest reunion, there were some brief instructional type events such as a shaft alignment. I wonder if that could be coordinated with White Lake or one of the mechanically minded CCFAN member/attendees. My interests would be:

shaft alignment
timing adjustment
carb adjustment
a repacking seminar
buffing tutorial

just some suggestions. I've tinkered with all of the above, but don't really know enough to be proficient at any of it. Also, it would be awesome to have some props available. I think I'm going to be in the market for an ACME 540 or 542 by then and would love to be able to try them. Seems like that'd be a good venue for doing some of that. Just trying to think of some cool stuff to make a great event even better. What do you think?

I Like these ideas, and having different props to try would be great too!

I could do a power point presentation on a stringer rebuild.

Donald,
You beat me to it. I was going to offer up my boat for the buff tutorial rig.

Regarding the tubing. No self respecting CC owner would ever admit to being a tuber right? However, maybe the guy that was there last time with the BFN could give some barefooting tips. I don't know..just sayin'

Regarding ReidP. That would be great if he brought some props. I'd love to see how mine performs with one of the above mentioned ACME props. I'm hoping to get a couple more MPH on the top end.

Still speaking as the new guy, is there any chance of holding this after the first of May? I'm in Ohio and my dad's in Georgia so White Lake makes the most sense for us to get both boats in the same place. Unfortunately May 1 is the first day I can get mine out of rack storage and I'd feel like I was cheating on her if I went alone.

I have a lot going on before Memorial Day....... Plus the Masters at Callaway is Memorial Day Weekend.

I am willing to host something at Smith Mountain Lake (SW Virginia) for those who wish to gather a little later. It seems as though most on this thread are from western NC or further west. Roanoke would be easy and the water is warm June on..........

If White Lake doesn't work out.... a mini-mini reunion at SML would work.

We can do it but we have to have a birthday party for my daughter on the 21st. She will be turning 4 and she loves "Daddy's boat". What lodging is nearby? If there there is another event going on we would need to get booked ASAP.

I've been throwing some dates at White Lake, and it looks like April 29,30--- would be the better fit.
It's 'before' the season down there starts for them, we'll have the lake to ourselves, too early it might be a little chilly, too late in May-- The Masters is like the 27th.
It just seems like we'd get 'Lost' in that Water Festival. That would be kinda nice though-- get alot of advertisement--.
Kinda still trying to work out a few bugs, but if everyone wants to start chiming in with their thoughts on some dates- chime away. They said just about any date from the April 29th--on looks good for them.

April 29th - May 1st works for us. Really sad I cannot make the SJRR so this gives me something to look forward to.

I'm in for that last weekend in april

Steve are you bringing the wife and kids? I am trying to convince my wife this is not just a guys weekend out so she will want to come and we could bring the kids. Any other families coming?

I think the last weekend in April is good.


Dave

Ok Fella's-- E-mailed Townsend with the dates

April 29,30-May 1st, 2011.

The only reason for this, is they really want to ADVERTISE this get-together really well this year.

Radio airplay, newspapers, maybe a couple magazines!

They are really exicted about this again this year, as they commented on the 'Love' for our 'Correct Crafts'. So I'll pass more info along as I recieve it guys. Be on the lookout for another posting, as they might put one up or get Keith to Thumbtack us one on the site.

Thanks again guys and hope to see ya there!!

Marty,

Thanks for making the effort. Count me in with my two girls and maybe the wife.

Donald
