Listen here, buddy! You got alot of nerve posting pictures of these boats! Especially since I don't have a drool cup handy, or someone to wipe off my chin!
Oh, there is nothing I love more than a properly finished mahogany Chris Craft. One of these years, I'm going to Tahoe just to see such a show, or maybe some of the ones up in the Adirondacks.
Mmmmmm, must watch On Golden Pond again, just for the scenes with the boat in them....
I'm sorry, kayaking is a poor substitute for such beautiful boating. Why wasn't I born rich, so I could have a fleet of these beauties? (But I still love my kayaks, don't get me wrong...)

: I've been keeping a log of deck patterns used on the classic speedboats of
: the prewar and postwar period (Gar Woods, Hackercraft, Chris Craft, et
: al), as my daughter and I are building a CLC Wood Duck hybrid this summer.
: The lines of that boat, it seems to me, lend themselves to adapting
: speedboat patterns, which, although planked, are essentially the same
: thing as stripping. Last weekend, I attended the Lake Tahoe Concours of
: fabulous speedboats, with a snazzy new lens in tow. I shot a bunch of the
: boats and thought I'd share, since I believe many of us (all of us?) keep
: a swipe file of design ideas we can use in furthering our addiction...uh,
: hobby.
: Anyway, I hope these shouldn't be posted under Off Topic, and that you enjoy.
