Hello Fellow Boating Enthusiasts,

One behalf of the organizers, I want to personally thank you all; boat owners and spectators,    for making our 5th Annual Antique and Classic Wooden Boat Show and Parade another huge success! We had good attendance on Friday night and we all had a great time talking boats and planning for Saturday. And once again Mother Nature gave us a great day on Saturday! It was great to see old friends and make new ones and hang out talking boats. We had lots of wonderful boats again this year; some regulars and many new ones, and we thank you for sharing yours with all of us.

Once again a special thanks to Pat and Maureen of Clearwater Harbor for providing such a great place for our show! Thank you to all your employees who helped make the day a success. And thanks to Carl and Brett and the crew at Chain ‘O Lakes Marine for all the help getting the boats in and out of the water. And a very special thanks to Rick Muzzy from WSPT for promoting our show and being a part of it on Saturday with live radio playing the oldies.  And a huge thank you to the hundreds of people that came to look at our boats and vote for their favorite. We couldn’t have had a show without all of you!

Thank you also to all the boat owners for all the help with landing the boats, mooring and making sure none were damaged. We really do appreciate all the help at the docks and couldn’t do it without you. We hope you will all plan to attend again next year and tell your friends. Let’s see if we can make it even bigger and better!

We had 28 great boats this year at the show and it is always difficult to pick the favorite but here are the results from the judges and the spectators.
