Fun Boats From The 2009 Geneva Lakes Boat Show.

Here are some more fun boats. The event came alive today.. This is a very fun crowd and they are clearly very passionate about the area and there very nice boats. With close to 80 boats the show has had a very strong turnout, even with many of the boats being taken to Canada for the acbs annual meeting. Rumor has it by the way that lake Geneva is the 2011 International ACBS meeting location. Great choice.

Early Morning the boats started showing up

The amazing art of Charles Bingham, All inlay, no stains Dang.. more info at binghammarquetry.com

More great art, this is from metal crafter Roger Ragsdale Visit him at rwragsdale.com you can also custom order your boat

Mmmmm I wonder what the boat looks like?

Oh!

One very nice Pabst Hydro.. owner Sheil Kottkamp

Hey wait a minute. I know this boat. Meet again Richard Sades 1956 Zephyr Chris Craft Kit Boat

Ice boats…. maybe cold weather aint so bad

Van Dams, stealing the show.. should be called Van Dangs!

One of my favorite boats at the show. Jim Bergeman’s 16 foot Streblow, not sure whyit’s one of my faves…, it needed help big time, but had great lines and was different

Every time I see this boat I smile, one of the other faves at the show, as it was at Mt Dora this spring. Luv Lee, owned for over 30 years by John Rinehart, 1955 Century Arabian.. Yes that is blue stain… expand your horizons and the world will surprise you.

Ohhhh! Very nice original one… Not a kit.. It just felt right at home here.

A what???? More on this boat later. It may just win best Truscutteer.

Fellow Woody Boater Steve Stevenson was here with his date.. she was not very talkative..there seemed to be a distance between them… maybe they had been fighting…
