This promises to ba a FANTASTIC show!!!

I hope my Greavette is ready for the ACBS poker run on Friday. This was offered for members of non-raceboats that could not enter the show.

Mister Blue Skies, very nice choice.
Wish I could be a part of it being I'm into race boats but it's a little far away for me. Looks like fun though.

Not much on glass boats up there? Our chapter is moving a little more toward them year after year. DMRS was even a sponsor and I don't think they ever made a wooden boat.

There have been a few glass boats at this show in the past. However, this area is the home of wooden lakeboats in Canada and the summer playground of the extremely wealthy. I'll bet You see more $ 250,000+ boats here than anywhere.

This year is an "invitation only" for Canadian race boats so, I'm not sure if there are any glass ones elegible. I suppose we'll find out.

I know that Sheppard Boats (St.Catharines) who was a large player in wooden boats, also made Donzi under license in the early days.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I gotta say I notice that the boat you have pictured has the decals in the reverse order like my boat...I guess it happened even in the old days!
