If you have never been. Go! It's more than a show it's a pilgramage! No matter how you spell pilgramige go go go! The water, the history, the people! It's the lifestyle of classic boats in spades..

I have been working on "Tuxedo" all spring, she has finally got both engines purring and I will be taking her out this weekend. I can't think of a better destination for her maiden voyage than the show. I am wondering though, do they have any dockage available for those that may arrive by water rather than land?
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'WOW What a Ride!'"

Just purchased my first Chris, 1959 conqueror - It's going to be an interesting ride!

I'm thinking at this point it's a long shot but give them a call.
