Whew, dodged a bullet today

[JackF]

Went to a moving sale today and there was a '59, 19' Chris Craft. One look and my eyes are rolling in different directions. This has been a Lake Tahoe boat all it's life, was professionally restored 15 yrs ago, but that is light years ago for one of these boats. Hard to walk away from, but I did it. It needs a lot of help at this point. You always think of what they "will look like", not what they "do look like".

Jack,

Those are simply gorgeous boats; as a kid, in the middle/late 60's, our family would go to our uncle's cottage on Conesus Lake, both sides of the families had a big gathering a few Sunday's each summer; the older kids and adults would water ski on the ChrisCraft, beautiful mahogony wood I believe and the inboard motor would just purr; great memories of those days; the Chris Craft was sold probably 20 years ago or so

I don't know much about such boats, but

Timmer: have you ever gone to Vintage at Saratoga? I am thinking of going to it in 2013. I'd probably be driving right past you en route.

Jim,

I don't know about Vintage at Saratoga in 2013; I've been out of work since March, cutbacks from our dept with the U of R; nothing has come up in my search since, been thinking of getting out of NY all in all.

On boats Jim, vintage Chris Crafts are among the most beautifully made
