      This weekend in Tavares (40 miles North of Orlando) there is a National meet of ACBS boats. As I understand it this meet is the second largest of its kind in the USA. There will be several million dollars worth of stunningly gorgeous antique and vintage Inboard and outboard powered craft from all over the country present. The Sunnyland chapter is host to this meet and it is a definite do not miss event. Miss America 9 is in the water and running, Gar Woods, Chris-Crafts, Jersey Speed Skiffs all over the place. Hundreds of single, double, and triple cocpit boats both on land and in the water.

          Not sure but I think the largest is in New York State. Am sure someone will correct this if needed.

              The only one I can think of that is big is the museum in Clayton does a show or two a year and they have some pretty nice boats. I have yet to go to the race boat riggatta but I heard they had a switzer wing there.

                  These photos do not do the show Justice. There are several piers of docks FULL of these boats.

                    uggghhhhh was a bit DAMP today (Saturday) but I enjoyed it anyway.
                    was great to see the awesome vintage rides from days gone by.
                    the swap tables were cool to walk around and see all their goodies.
                    speaking of goodies, I SCORED a complete windshield for my Crestliner
                    complete with corner brackets and top edge molding.

                    .
