Bikini’s, Boats and Snow! Just Another Day In Woodyboaterville.
Bikinis in November is just wrong. And right, yet wrong. But oh so right. Please stop me.. I am in a loop. Right? Wrong… HELP! Thanks to Brian Robinson out in Arizona. We hope you get Sunburn.
Thanks for keep’m coming. Fellow Woody Boaters from all over the world are enjoying the last 90 degree weekends of fall. Wait. What? Oh how the other half lives makes me sick!
More Brian Robinson slap in the face last gasp shots. If you look closely thats London Bridge in the background. Watch out, over passes freeze over first Brian.
Richard Wright on Payette Lake aint in a bikini that’s for sure.
This in from David LaChance. also our header boat today. Thought I would send you a photo or two of my latest project, 1958 Lyman 18 with a 58 Mercury mark 78. After three years of work, I finally got it in the water a few weeks ago for the first time, and last time for the season! Three full days of running and it was time to get it ready for storage. Oh well..
Chads kids are ready to go even if its in the garage!
One more stunner from Chad. What a beautiful way to wake up each morning
Jeffrey Geibel From Meridian, Idaho 18-1/2’ Glen-L Biscayne “Miss Tere’se”
Now that she is flipped we get the official salute of joy from the kinders! ya got all winter Jeffrey to finish her up
And of course we got in this nice video from Chris and heather Atwood. “Pictures-smicktures. What the Last Gasp needs is more VIDEOS!! So we can FEEL the cold air in our faces… from the comfort of our desks. 🙂
This was taken Nov 3rd. Temp was 52f, calm wind. Now Its half raining, half trying to snow here in Indianapolis as I right this.
Thanks again to all that keep them coming.
One more from Brian Robinson in Arizona. Dang, dang dang! Bikinis, it just aint right.
Great shots!
Love the video!
Maybe Brian can send in some Christmas Bikini Boating shots.
Richard: Where is the plow for your truck?
That London Bridge was moved to Arizona by Robert McCulloch who also founded Havasu City where he re-built the bridge. Along with other cities, McCulloch developed the Paxton supercharger, McCulloch chain saws and outboard motors. Two of his outboards hang on the transom of my ’59 Chetek Duchess!
How well does that Flying Scott perform? I have one I am looking to restore on a 58 Glastron hardtop.
Akk we need now to make winter bluer is opening day shots from New Zeland or Australia.
Nice work on the Lyman, David. Time to bring it to Sunnyland show to extend your season. And that GarWood is trimmed out so nicely, it can’t possibly be Chrysler Crown powered getting that much “air”.
Captain Grumpy, here’s my plow, gonna grow my own mahogany.
WE have been blessed with TWO DAYS of LYMAN LOVE for HEADERS, IT HAS HELPED ME GET THRU THIS COLD BLAST OF WINTER AIR THIS WEEK…
Thankfully, the amount of rum required to get me into a bikini would exceed Bacardi’s production capacity!
Dave Lachance! As a columnist for the Timberjay Newspapers, featuring Vintage Boats of Minnesota, I would like to feature your boat in an upcoming column!
Can you conatct me at my website?
Lyman Header the best. Now I can say’That’s My Boat’
Dave Nice Boat! We have ’56, ’57, and ’58. Love all the lapstrakes as usual but really loving the 18′ outboard. The best. Thankyou
It was a bit of shock to open the site this evening and see my boat and I on the header!! Talk about an ego boost!
Won’t be able to get my hat on for a while!
All kidding aside, thanks for all the kind words.
Hopefully next year I can get a lot more hours on her.
Thanks for the post!! You have no idea how badly I want to get this boat done and in the water…..It has pained me for a couple years now looking at all the fun your viewers have had. Here’s another pic from the Great Flip, my youngest doing his best King Leonardo, thanks cousin John!
jeffrey (spelled wrong:-) ) wheres your big gantry and chain falls and the like. ahh who needs them.. chad, good looking kids bryan r. send more of that warm weather to the midwest. how many days till mt. dora?
Almost goes without saying, the Gar Wood is beautiful though as a fellow outboard owner I must say I love the Larson and that gorgeous Merc Mark 78! To bad about the minimum water time this year, but you’re already to go for next season! 🙂 Special mention for the stunning Fall Foliage on the lake, nature’s beauty is a wonderful spectacle.
