Chris Smith’s customized ’46 CC Rocket, towed here with his daughter from Michigan
1929 CC 26; Upswept with original A-70. Won best preserved at Tahoe this year.
“Pre-events finished today. Three days of absolutely flawless weather. Most of the boats get here today and tomorrow. A nice selection of about 20-25 boats participated in the pre-event stuff at Priest Lake and on Coeur d’Alene. 
One of our favorite boats, and that of many others, is a ’59 Portland Boat works custom order called Gyded Missel – just a wonderful, cool boat that moves and sounds great. There should be around 120 boats here, and a huge variety – more than anywhere else, I’m told.“
On another report Paul said..
“As good as the boats are – which is phenomenal, the people have been even better. What a hobby we have!“
I could not have said it better….. so I didn’t…. Off to Smith Mountain Lake. I pray my Internet works. It’s been acting up. So if I miss tomorrow. Sunday and Monday will be huge.
