Wow, what a collection of boats. Is that a “by invitation only” show. I like their “use em if you got em” event theme. The inside of that Continental hardtop looks like a limousine. Thanks for the great report.

Tim and Debbie salt have organized the whitefish woody weekend for several years. I think it is still under the auspices of the big sky chapter, acbs, and an open show. Great
People and show. Tim is pictured driving his cc continental hardtop. It’s a super boat.

I love the ’55 Continental hardtop! Very beautiful boat. That’s a great venue and look forward to visiting some of these shows in the next few years.

What a day! Beautiful images thanks Steve. Warming to see from my wintery corner of the world in NZ.

What, only dog dock shots, lol. Larkin always delivers. Great photo coverage only guys like Steve, Dane and Kent can arrange. Texx, please get your country straightened out so you can get out or we can get in dammit.
Terry Deems
Wow Steve L. Amazing photos…We were in the big blue 26 foot Chris-Craft “fishing” boat (Blew By You) that we just remodeled, well…it is almost finished. (Owner Dr. Steve Liss, amazing upholstery and wood bits by Glenn Dutro, and I Terry Deems). This is also Murray Danzig’s (89 1/2) and my 8th WWW!, and what a party it is, sponsor Belvedere vodka and cranberry is yummy…Love all of the young blood also! Beautiful clear but hot weather….Purrrrfect
Dale Brevik
Oh Yes! Just say yes to thinking outside the box with a creative build that pays tribute to the classic wood boats of yesteryear. For those who think bigger is better Lil Woodie may not be the Thunderbird on Lake Tahoe, but it is built with the love of wood to which none of us would ever say no.
