    That retro Merc cowl on the Aristo-Craft is very cool and really nicely done. I tend more towards the nautical hotrod end of the Woodyboater spectrum and I just love that kind of stuff.

    Great shots…Makes one want to go back…Only thing missing in those early morning shots was a shot of the old stone lodge which usually serves as show headquarters.
    Also Junaluska…That’s Randy & Linda Cunningham’s boat and they live on Lake Junaluska which is another pretty N.C. lake.

    What another wonderful weekend we had at the Lake Chatuge Show! This is the 31st year of the event and we are already looking forward to next year. Thanks, Michael, for being there and sharing the pictures. The beautiful mountain lake and setting, along with the boats, people, and fun activities make for a great gathering each year.
