My father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Keuka Lake, NY 1955.
Imagine the advancements in the boating world those 3 - 4 actually generations have witnessed . |

And even further....my family's been on the lake for 8 generations. The last Indian family in the area lived on my great-great-great-great grandfathers land (vineyards); so I guess we've witnessed advances from the "canoe". My great-grandfather was also a purser on one of the big paddlewheels that used to ply the lake picking up grapes from the vineyards. Then came the inboards..... |

Alright John I think I finally got the Lone Star "up" for you...turns out it was a 1964, not a '65. Brandi helped me and we did NOT use photobucket. I still think I prefer photobucket but have yet to remember the proper sequence. I may have to hunt for that old "how to" thread. |

Here is the only known picture of the 1969 Slickcraft with a 100hp Mercury. Learned to 'foot behind this boat but shortly discovered Correct Crafts and there was no turning back!!

John: Found another pic' of the Slickcraft....looks like from a ski show in July of 1970 and it looks like Holiday Lakes. I see why we thought it was white... was blue sides and white deck!! Pretty cool for the day!! I think the lighter blue boat was our first Correct Craft...the Miller/Waldbauer "Playmate".

I have pictures of my Dad and a wood boat he pulled out of a burn pile (before they burnt it!), he refurbished it and found an old Evenrude to put on it. I can remember riding on it in diapers ('67ish) I'll try to find them.
My Sister said me finding this SN reminded her of that. |
