We visited the ACBS Blue Ridge Chapter's classic and wooden boat show on lake Greenwood in South Carolina and toured many classics including Hacker Craft, Dodge, Chris-Craft, Old Town, Dorsett, Jersey Skiff and others.
Great video,reminds me of the time when I was growing up in upstate New York, where Hacker Craft was based in a little town at the north end of Lake George.
Great story!! I recall the Yellow Jacket plywood boats manufactured in Dennison Texas! I believe that is also the boat referenced in The Alan Jackson song "drive". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dQe3DKDQRRs.html
Beautiful boats you have , I got a 1949 Bourber 12 ft runabout built in Newburn Up close to your show . But not as beautiful as yours and got a 194? Army Barge motor with 2 different lower units , it’s a 22 hp Johnson , still painted O-D Green .
Thanks for doing the video. I contemplated going to the show from NY but didn't make it. Suggestion. Keep hand out of video and do not know of any boat or car guy that likes someone to put there hands on their hard work.
Robert, I appreciate the tips to consider. I'd never touch a car at a car show. With boats, these are in open splashing water, had a few light showers on them over the weekend, plenty of pollen this time of year, and I asked if I could touch it. These are not cars at an indoor car show brought in enclosed trailers which you would never touch. Boats like this once back at the shop will require extensive cleaning and evacuating water out of the hull. Have you ever had assistance in docking without someone touching your boat? Have you ever entered a boat without stepping or sitting on the side of it or without stepping on a seat?
Ah, Dick Pope envy. Obsession and envy is a wonderful(terrible) cognitive dissonance exercise. I have done my share too, yet everyone seems to promote it.
