Thank god Kanye West was not invited. The awards portion of the show went without a hitch.

Peoples Choice. “Toddy”. Ray Everest Elco.

Best Time. The boat ride on Brian Swansons Sheperd 22 ft runabout.. Woohooo

Best Century Don Steele, 1966 Century Coronado WOW

Best Lapstrake. Lyman .. Owner Della Louise…..


Best Runabout Brian Swanson, 22 Ft Sheperd Runabout… What a great boat. Story on her later.

Best Chris Craft… Sybil 1940 17 ft Barrel Back. Amazing restoration. Roger and Sybil Smith


Best non wood. Tommie Tatam, Correct Craft Mustang… Also hard luck…. Head gasket and starter.. Ugh

Best Preserverd, “Night Hawk” Century Palamino Owner Edward Given


Best Utiliity Tom Hiliker of Vintage Marine… One very cool U22

Woohooo. What a great day
whoah! that Palamino is a peach. Forget the embroidered towels and the 50s coke cooler. Get a woody bikini babe to set your boat off.
God is always spelled with a captial G. Just thought you might want to be reminded of that.
mmmm. Which god do you suppose I was talking about. There are many. For example. Kanye clearly see's himself as one. What about Poseidon..or that Budda guy… Or….
Great coverage on this show.I did see the bikini girl sitting on the boat from my vendor space on the shore and first thought…man that girl needs to get a better tan before she puts on that swim suit! Did you get to take a ride on the steam powered Ben Gun? That launch is a fantastic boat.Buy the way I sold the Man-U-Troll motor later in the day, in fact I sold every motor I brought with me (5). I'll be shopping all this coming winter for more nautical goodies for next year, see you then.
Keep up the great work on this great site, I really enjoy looking to see what you have added every day.
