It looks like somebody made some large pink and reddish spit-balls and had their way at my truck. I know CQ was tossing stuff around the restaurant all Saturday night, so I assume he may have something to do with it. I got home after a four trip and I was still pealing stuff off.

By the way, the highlight of the reunion for me was Gregg Benjamin (Tim's Dad) and Quinner in the battle of wit Saturday night. Gregg had some nice shots going on CQ. Gregg in my opinion won the "insult-off". Larry, you were there, right?

Ken, choose your cliche:
1. You lie with dogs you'll get fleas. 2. Don't wrestle with a pig - you both get all dirty and the pig likes it. 3. Don't get mad, get even. |

I tell you all, Chris Quinner is something else. He makes Andrew Dice Clay seem like boy scout. I think I spent most of my time watching my step around him over the weekend.
Quinner, you owe me a Merlot. You threw your sugar packet right inside my glass! Joe's my witness. By the way, were you responsible for the stuff stuck to my tailgate on Sunday AM? I didn't know hazing was a part of the registration, Keith!!! |

For those of you who couldn't make it Keith really outdid himself. Here he is offering rides in his boat, a pic of our motel he chose, and he allowed us to party at his lake house.
Can't wait until next year |

It was great having everyone in town. A true family reunion and one I'm glad to be part of. I wish I could have joined you for the skis and rafting. But since the lady-fuzz broke it up, I guess I didn't miss much. We'll find you a better spot for next year.
Dinner and awards at the pub were great yet the stories of Quinner hitting on everything that didn't dangle are still coming in and getting old. Only known the guy for 2 days and it doesn't shock me one bit. Thanks for all the courtesy you showed us northern-folk and we look forward to next year. Keep the pictures coming and who ever has the photo of a 409 in flight we would love to see it. Rumor has it all 4 spinning blades were visible. |

Steve, it was good to meet you guys from the midwest. Far as I could tell, you guys spoke just like me.
As much as I like the boats, I am amazed at what a group of great people were there. Everybody was good people. And I really appreciate how well my kids were treated. They had a blast. Next year we'll be coming early and staying late. I've got plenty more photos, including some good ones of Quinner, but I'll let others post theirs first. |

As the Boat Dr would say, a LARGE time was had by all.
Arrived home at 12:30 am CDT after leaving Lake George at 9:00 am CDT. However, Stang probably didn't hit the bed until 3:30 or 4:00 am. It was another great event, one that even a little rain couldn't extinguish. It was my first time in upstate NY and it was a beautiful piece of the country and a excellent location for the reunion. It was a privilege to see some of you for the second time this year and very cool to meet many of you for the first time. It did take a little bit to get the ol' ears tuned to all the NE dialects though. A packie store? Isn't that where Quinner and Hollywood meet? I ended up rooming with Keith (all right, let the jokes begin...). So I saw first hand how much EFFORT he puts into making this event a remarkable experience for all. The alarm was going off at 6:30 am every morning, regardless of how late the prior night lasted. Even though many lent a hand when possible, Keith was at 100% for 4 days to make sure things went smoothly. He deserves a lot of credit and appreciation for doing this successfully. Much thanks goes to Ken and everyone at Adirondack Marine and Adirondack Pub and Brewery. Those folks hustled to make sure we all were happy and satisfied. Joe, Alan, Keith and others, thanks for the seat time in your boats. Even got to drive a few which was a real treat. And for the record, it actually was a blast to spend 28 hours in a car with Quinner and Stang. Many, many laughs per mile. For all of the newcomers, make sure to reinforce your relationships by stopping by the forum frequently. That's right, I'm calling you out Barracuda Chick! Hopefully, next year we can get more midwest representation out east. Maybe a bus full. A short yellow one, of course. -Steve |

Well I hate to do it but in the interest of historical accuracy I am going to have to claim that honor for myself. I was truly in the right place at the right time with an early arrival on Thursday, which put me at the hotel in time to see Dave Hendricks walking towards his cabin next to the dock where he was planning to meet Keith and Ken from Adirondack who was bringing down the CCfan Boat for its first ski (and to deliver its first whoopin to my 83). We saw Keith give that boat a workout in his first session back skiing after some shoulder issues. After which I had the honor of giving it a go, in a somewhat less impressive manner. After Keiths second session we rafted up for a bit and enjoyed the calm before the storm on a beautiful night on a beautiful mountain lake. After catching dinner at the last restuarant open in GL, we were able to meet up with marathon drivers and early arrivals Alan (81Nautique) and Dana, Reid (reidp) and Laurie, and Steve Evans (Raindog) with his unlikely crew of Chris (Quinner) and Gary (Stang72), twas a good night. Show up early people! |

Good looking pics so far... Looks like the temps both air and water were a bit on the chilly side.. But all in all, everyone had a great time..
Yes, the events are short in time, long on memory... Just have to start on Thursday now ..... Moj' BTW, the 196 with the white accent graphics was the right choice... Really sweet looking machine.. Reid will take such good care of that boat.. Couldn't have gone to a better CC lover !! |

Damn I really have to proof read my posts with the minds of some of you in here. lol
Although if you compare my post with the quote allegedly attributed to me, they don't quite match up. Watch out, I'll be looking for posts of yours to chop up. ;) |

It was a great event and I have lots of pics and vids that I will post shortly.
I knew it was going to be a great weekend regardless of the weather when as soon as I pulled in and rolled down my window to ask where to put the boat, everyone stuck their hands in the window to shake mine, in the pouring rain. They said drop it here we'll push it into a space. What a great group of people. Being in the right place at the right time, I think I got the first "fan" ski behind the Orange Crush. Followed shortly by the first spectacular yardsale, bell ringing OTF. The only complaint, it was too short. Not enough time to hang out with people and not enough time to ski/foot. lol Pics and vids to come soon. |

Many of you expressed how much you wanted me to have this boat, and for that I'm very humbled and thankful. In the end, we were unable to make that happen. However, the next best scenario was that that boat remain in the CorrectCraftFan.com family by going to someone who would respect this boat for what it is and what it represents. I'm happy to announce that a group comprised of Reid Pinkham, John Morrow, and Tony Quinn, along with HQ Marine of NC, has taken over ownership of the boat. No only will this group take exceptional care of this boat but will also continue to share it with the fans bringing it to future CCF reunions in Green Lake and Lake George. I really, really want to thank Adirondack Marine for all their hard work and support, and this group who will be taking such great care of the CCF boat. Proceeds from the sale of the boat where given to CCF -- an overly generous gesture for which I am also humbled and thankful. The boat leaves Lake George tomorrow, bound for NC. I will be posting many, many photos from this fantastic weekend shortly. Thank you to all who attended, it was you who made this event so fantastic. -Keith |
