Today, we have this comment farm ready for you to have what god gave all of us. An opinion. Okay, that and one other things. And maybe today the two shall meet.  I will get the opinion juices started. On one hand, it's bold, it's…

Are you in Detroit and have a cruiser that can handle 9-10 folks for a boat ride? My company is having a meeting up in Detroit on June 11-12, and they started to rent a big something vial for a tour of the water ways around Detroit. I said…

The past couple days I have been able to refocus on getting the Railway spruced up for the summer of 2024, and one of the things I had to attend to was the fence. It need a fresh coat of paint. BTW I use black fence paint thats an acrylic…

Well to prove that your classic boating fix can be fixed in any size, today we travel to the model universe of Syds Text Message Museum. He is unpacking or unboxing, or opening up original boxes of models. Not the Troy kinda models, but…

You may have noticed that over the past week, our incredibly low standards of reporting have dropped to a new low. Later mornings, lazy stories and well. Train Wreck. Its been a crazy two weeks, with making up routine work to replace the work…

What a welcome sight. I love when the old classic boats around here are up on the rails. It feels complete and when the railway is empty its sad. But because I am driven by art more than commerce. The boats that go up on the rail have to…

A week ago we showed you this image, and of course you all wanted to know more, and most importantly, how did we pull of that shot. Not a drone, and not a Go Pro. So what is the way, The Invisible Stick. With a bug eye camera with a bunch…

BY PUBLIC DEMAND! AS A PUBLIC SERVICE, A huge thanks to M-fine for a M-uch better 2 minute version of the Dora Canal. It still holds up. And he added some Bosa Nova music, which is a wonderful touch. Mind you, Mfine has been on the road…

Every year at Lake Dora some sort of "thing" follows me home. It's random, and always makes me smile. A souvenir of sorts. No snow globe crap. And I open my heart and eyes for the spontaneous joy. One year it was a Chris Craft Duster coat,…

We have been working on some very cool stuff using special cameras to see our sport in a new light. Today is a small rease of whats to come later this week. No Drone, or Go Pro. Its insane

We are officially on our way, and should be hitting.. wait, bad choice of words.. Arriving in Florida around 7 ish. Maybe we will see you on I 95. We are the ones in the big blue truck with WOODYBOATER on the side.  If this story is too short…

Well, here is a twist on the normal timing of it all. The boats ready, and I am not. Then again, since it just the guys going, I can pack in about 20 minutes. So that part is easy, but work, and life just pile up. But thats all normal, and…

Well, there are two ways to go in design when you are trying to cover up some oddities. And as you may recall Whoops was encased in fiberglass, deck and all, and the wood underneath was not, lets say attractive. It was washed out and was…

Crank up the music, let that sunshine and fresh air in, and clean up. In between Zoom calls, work, getting ready Whoops ready for Dora you have to take advantage of the weather. And even though its windy, it is nice outside. Today is supposed…

I am not even sure what the correct math is for this, Algebra? Geometry? And yes I had to spell check both those words. And I should know how to do this, but it hurts, it really hurts. So, I am sure there is an engineer, or some sort of…

A huge thanks to Steve Lapkin and Duster for getting some great water action shots from New Zealand. It just gets better and better, and a great way to get us all in the mood for Lake Dora and BOATING SEASON! STAY…

A huge thanks to Steve Lapkin and Phil Andrews AKA 'Duster" for sharing the fun of not just the show, but getting there. So sit back, and grab a glass of milk cause this make take some days to unfold. Come on! It's like you made the 24hr…

Okay, today has all the potential for a loop story. Whats a loop story? Well its a story that just never ends. It can just swirl around in a loop. For example. Is leap year in New Zealand? So yes? But? Is it already over since they are a…

Today we are releasing our latest film, Morning Light, to the folks here in Woodyboaterville before we take it to the Cannes and Sundance film festivals. Okay, maybe just someone on a phone in Cannes who happens to be at Cannes, or, okay, okay,…

Over the winter, Wayne Bomb tackled a beast of a project. A new lighter engine cover for the 17 Ski boat. Of course the entire boat is kinda custom, so no need to try and be original. And no need to start over. It is what it is and cool…

Introducing this years Lake Dora T Shirt design. This year I made them White and black. I keep finding myself wanting a white shirt out on the water and the black shirts are always fun and a tad bit more tude. I am working out the details this…

I remember taking these images and think'n. Yes I can do two things at once.. Anyway, I thought, I am gonna wanna look at these around February. And then of course I forgot about them. As I am looking through them, some are nice sunsets…

I have been lucky enough to be in love for close to 40 years to an amazing woman. The Boatress, just incase you are thinking I am gonna twist this into a boat story. Being in love is the most wonderful feeling one can possess. I have said this…

Happy Super Bowel Sunday.  Ya I know, the Term Super XXXX is a copywriter term, so I need to stay clear of that, and my typo better describes the story today anyway with Ship Show week. Anyway, here is the film of the entire death march of…

If you have sent an email to us here at Global HQ and not heard, herd? back from us/me, I am sorry, but since mid January we have not gotten any emails. There is a myriad of reasons for this which I need to unravel. I do get around 400 emails…

I know some of you are confused, and sorry, but I do promise it will all make sense. I have to wait longer than I thought to release the info, and so it kinda has become a mess so to speak. So, I am going to just do a shameless plug for…

Well, here we go, just like that dress thing that the internet couldn't figure out. Yesterday while I was working on the frame for the Wallace Marine sign, I was chatting with Greg, and sent him some snap shots of the frame material I was…

Well, that crept up on me fast. Lake Dora is in about two months, or one month depending on when you want to go. Lets just say, you can go tomorrow and go boating. So thats the beauty of it all there in Florida. That and a very nice tax…

Late Saturday morning, and had a wonderful warm day yesterday working on something special, in the meantime, we have some sausage. Lots of sausage, okay mostly post cards.

A huge thanks to the Katz's Marina gang for looking up the special Rocket featured in the report the other day. The boat is number 42 one of the B engines. And whats also cool, it we can also narrow down the year of this photo. And if you…

As the new Old Boats Home grows, and yes its having a population boom. We decided a new ER was needed. Hey, every assisted living place has such a thing. Along with some canasta games! Anyway, what is an ER, and how does it work? The…

In yesterdays comments, Art mentioned the famous Sportsman Cover in the 1938 catalog set we finally got in the mail. Some may recall the original story, some may not. But the cover shot was shot at Art's Grandfathers home, and of course that…

If you are in the market for a project, and want to start at a good point. How does FREE sound! Yup! Free! As in FREE. This cruiser has now been trough all the legal crap after being abandoned at the dock a year ago. And now she is about…
