TOPIC: Glassics Buzz in the North East

** This thread discusses the content article: Glassics Buzz in the North East **

Well written article Dave, thank you for posting it. Good pics too, well done my friend. I know "boat shows" aren't for everybody, but way to get out there and "represent" guys ! (Hope everyone made it home safely.)

nice job dave!
you went above and beyond representing the fiberglass folks and fiberglassics,john

GREAT REPORT DAVE: Looks like a lot of activity there to keep occupied for THREE days..! You rounded up the Fiber Glass N.E. troops,, & CONGRATS to ones with earned hardware.

. I had been to that show about 10 years ago & they let us park our Motor Coach right on the water wall lot for 3 days for free.
That Beige / white deck boat with the Green OMC looks like a GLASSPAR ? Could be the curved windshield Citation model .?? Sweet model.. Again good turnout , also knowing another wood show was in lower New York State at GreenWood Lake. . I read where one of the larger plank runabouts with a inboard Sank in 45 feet of water. Guess it is owned by one of the committee members.

Good addition on the pop up vendor shade tent. . We use them
at the Glasspar events , and are a good focal point.

I would like to see our group "invade" an ACBS show once a year or at least every other year. Nickle City represents pretty well at the Buffalo show every year with the Glassics, but I would like to see us spread the wealth a little.

Maybe Lake George next year? We have a standing invite for a show up there as well and it's another beautiful location. It's a little bit of a cruise for me, but I may be able to talk the wife into it...lol...

Lake G would work for me. Late August. Not a judged show, but they have participants voting for best of categories (according to the web site.). Maybe we could get a few more New England boats to come out.

Great article... nice to be able to see the transition of watercraft design all at one show. All these shows need for an even keel is a strong contigent of Rivitheads... there's a strong group in the North/East South/Central U.S. centering around the 'feathercraft' forumn. Wouldn't it be fun to challenge the 'Lumis' to a battle of numbers... pick a show like Hammondsport and see which group could get more boats out and on the water. The cool thing would be that in the end, everyone wins.

FYI...FRANK ALGUIRE WAS INITIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR PUMPING UP THE SHOW. HE IS A MEMBER OF WINE COUNTRY CLASSICS ACBS. THE REST OF US JUST KEPT TALKIN IT UP AND THE EXCITEMENT GREW. LET ME ADD THAT FRANK WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS THERE FOR 3 DAYS, AND IS STILL THERE TILL THURSDAY. THE MAJORITY STAYED FOR SATURDAY ONLY. OOPS..SORRY FOR THE CAPS. RON

Yep! Frank did a super job! Thanks for winding up a really good group!

Just back from the show, and was pleasantly surprised to see the home page article. Nice job, Dave.

OMG, that second photo with the classic ford(?), and the aqua boat is to DIE FOR! Congratulations on an excellent restoration!!
