South Lake Tahoe Show Report From Memory!
Big Winner Best Restored. Owner Steve Marini Chris Craft 21 Cobra Cadillac Duel Quad Engine.
OK, so this is not live, but it is as fast as it all came in from the left coast. We are happy to report that Ventuno the amazing Katz’s Marina restored 21′ Cobra we reported on this spring from Lake Dora won best in class and best in show restored. Owner and fellow Woody Boater Steve Marini made the trek to South Tahoe with Ventuno this past weekend with fellow Woody Boater and master photo guy Steve Natale who shot some of the boats at the show for us. BUT, no words, so you know what that means. that’s right. We get to make them up..
1940 19’ Chris-Craft Custom Runabout lives full time on Lake Tahoe…. owners Michael & Kathleen Scroggie,
Good Grief! We actually know some of these boats from memory. Lets see how close we are???
This is a very nice Venetian Water Taxi was imported from Italy and restored by Sierra Boats Works of Lake Tahoe
Stunning Rivas.
A VERY nice Century. Dang
Hornett II. Henry J. Kaiser’s 1930/39 Gar Wood race boat AMAZING! To see it is to believe it. Pictures don’t do this boat justice
I LOVE THESE 21 Continentals.
1936 Mullins Sea Eagle 16′ powered by a Lycoming Model 4-58 – 58HP engine.
“Shooting Star” a rare 1938 28′ Hackercraft Triple Cockpit Runabout
“Dork” is a beautiful, unusual colored 1948 19′ Chris-Craft Racing Runabout currently owned by Bill & Rob Shepherd, from Lafayette, California
Big Sky may be one of the most famous Stan Crafts out there. PERFECT NAME for a PERFECT boat
Here is how the show looked from the water. This is a very fun and low key show on the lake a couple weeks before the whopping show next week.
I believe the phrase “stunning Rivas” is redundant.
WOW!
What a great looking show.
Love The Header!
Matt,
Probably been asked before but…are the preevious header images stored on the site where we can see them?
The headers are some of the greatest photos ever!
Bob
Got to tune in daily. All part of the tease I suppose. Once or twice a year we set the headers so when you refresh or click around, the 5 years of headers apear one at a time. Last time we did it we had 8000 clicks in aday. And lots of peolple late to work
and a slightly unprepared for law exam…
Funny, I remember that now…
As much as I would love to look through all the headers, don’t ever change that.
It is the addiction that makes sure I check in every day.
Here is one of my favorites!
I will post a few pics we snapped attending this well run and well attended show.

A correction on the water taxi. The boat has never been restored. The boat by wooden boat standards is fairly new built in the 70’s. the boat was varnished years ago by Sierra Boat Co. In 2012 the boat was taken to bare wood and refinished by Robinson Restoration. Most recently the boat received a new bottom by North West Classic Boats.
