It’s A Fantasy Weekend Here On Lake Dora! And You’re Stuck In The Cold.
Bacon & M-fine A fantastic way to start the day!
Perfect weather, massive amount of boats and very happy people, what else could you possibly ask for? All the slips were sold out a month ago, and the crowds are expected to be large. We are half way sold out at the store, and Scarlet is all soaked up as expected. All that’s left to try is my annual Chicken on a stick, and a nice loooong boat ride through the Dora canal to the palm gardens for a deep fried anything. And you are? Starring out the window wondering why you are not here. And everyone else is here. So sad, so very very sad!
OK then, let’s move on to us here! WOOOHOOO! LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED! WOO WOO!
Amazing boats are showing up from across the US. This is Dave Bortners cool Century! Lots of fiberglass here this year!
This cool little monster has a Flathead V8! Feild of dreams coolness
Bill Anderson brought some excitement as always! Bill is a great guy and always surprises with his one of over 100 boats he owns!
The Feild of dreams this year is chocked full of good boats
Headed for the feild of dreams! More on this boat later!
A new entrance to the show ! You will Flip when you get here!
Cobra Bar from Bar-Craft! How cool is that?
OK! Captain Wally Binghamton approves!
Water, Air, Wood, and Fiberglass perfection
Still for sale!
Stay right here and blow dry your hair
The Store is open and selling fast. One case of Coffee mugs, GONE, half the shirts, GONE. We bring more and more every year! Thank you so much for your support. And the show hasn’t even started.
Glastrons, Glaspars, Donzi’s, and a bunch of cool stuff! And only about 1/4 of the boats showed up yesterday. Today, Sunny and lots of boats showing up!
Terry Fiest, and “Fiesty” A flawless Cobra that Katzs Marina did. Seth made this a tribute boat to Terry for helping Seth get into Cobras, and a long standing friendship. Terry is an amazing leader here and well. Just amazing!
Stay tuned for updates through out the weekend. Today we get out on the water and get some cool action shots!
The sun is up, time to go boating!
Bacon! Water, sun, boats & friends! Arrrgh!
M-fine really should name one of his boats Bacon. You’re already killing me with the boat pictures.
So jealous! Can’t wait to get back down to that show one of these days. I’m confused about Scarlet. Did that used to be Suzie? Who owns Scarlet now? M-Fine? I know Matt has the 25′ now, is that at the show?
Actually I just woke up and finally got my americano going plus tuning in to WB. It dawns on me you are 3000 miles away, I am looking at the Pacific out the window on a sunny day.
Yes I am torn, a little bit.
Lyman Love – My parents first boat was the one pictured. Someday even though I don’t need. it.
m-fine does need to get ANOTHER boat and name it Miss Bacon!
Scarlet is the boat formerly named as Susie, and it is now owned by Jimmy.
Needs to be named Ms. Piggy. The source of all Bacon.
Pigs are magical animals. They can turn kale into bacon, pulled pork, St. Louis cut spares, and prosciutto.
Here is a sign that reminds me that the weather back home in Canada sucks. We found the sign at the Hideaway on Lake Harris. Thanks to Gerry Wilkin for the boat ride.
I just got done plowing 5″ of rain, the whitest and coldest rain ive ever seen.
Beautiful day on the lake Mount Dora with the exception of the wind and the fact that my boat broke down five minutes after launch, think it’s a bad fuel pump, having one overnighted, hopefully will get half of the day tomorrow in, wish me luck.
Also a big thank you out to Dave VanNess for all of his help on the phone today.
Two shots of float planes in two days. Combine that with beautiful wooden boats, and great looking engines! It is truly a “fantasy weekend” for me. I hope you are all drinking plenty for me. From looking at the pictures, I’m hoping plenty of Corona.
Fresh stock thanks to Ed Andrews.
