vintage ski/raceboat show?

SIKSUKR · 07-31-2012, 12:57 PM

Obviously pre-photoshop.

Looks like some of my old cut and paste work.

sloboat · 07-31-2012, 01:10 PM

much bigger boat. it may have been their answer to a missile but beyond being a tunnel hull is very different

BroadHopper · 08-06-2012, 12:54 PM

Someone expressed interest in bringing a couple of 21' Shadows from 1985. I am not sure if they are the tunnel hulls I remember or the fishing boats. It's going to be an interesting day!

Those of you that are going to the Ski races talk at the Winnipisaukee museum, please stop by after. The event may and can go beyond 4 PM.

I notice there is a lot of 'chatter' on this event on Facebook and Twitter.

Please spread the word!

is the Ski races talk at the Winnipisaukee museum the same day?

BroadHopper · 08-06-2012, 10:17 PM

Yes at 11 am

BroadHopper · 08-07-2012, 08:23 AM

1985 21' Shadows.. a 454 Mag/Alpha I/O, & an OMC V-8 OB version

NHBUOY · 08-09-2012, 11:12 AM

Curious as to how many boats are going to show up.? Have you got an estimated head count.? I am hoping the weather will co-operate.

sloboat · 08-10-2012, 09:15 AM

Count on 2 magnum missiles

BroadHopper · 08-11-2012, 07:51 AM

It looks the weather may not be that bad according to futurecast. It is like glass on Opechee. Great for screaming those boats across the pond.
I will be there along with Mowtowman.

Text me at 603.490.3336 for development. There will be refreshments available. The bathrooms will be open. The beach at Opechee Point is ours!

Winnisquam marine will be there with a pontoon boat for rides. The LR Boys and Girls club are invited. Former officers of the Winni Water Ski clubs will be there.

See you on the mini lake!

The first Lakes Region Waterski Boat Classic is in the books. Thanks to Forum members for helping to make the day a success. Special thanks to Ryan and Winnisquam Marine for providing a beautiful new pontoon boat and free rides for the afternoon. A number of people had their first boat ride. Turnout was light and we had 2 Magnums, a Sidewinder and a Hydrostream on the water. No one was light on the throttle. Opechee was perfect with very little boat traffic on a Saturday. I don't think we upset anyone with our presence. Lots of old skis and some race trophies and lots of knowledge about area boating history. There were various drop ins throughout the day. Special thanks to the Magnums and their generosity in giving so many rides. The Magnum ride is so unique, I don't think there is another boat that brings you so close to the water surface. I think they are one of the best looking boats ever made, and to have 2 in one place at one time was a treat. Couple of other boats made it to the launch but not on the water. Look for an article in the Laconia Citizen. Hopefully some pics will follow, I didn't take any. Anyone interested in helping to plan next summer's event please let me know.

The water ski classic boats events was a success. Despite the overcast skies, it did not dampened our spirits. The folks who brought Magnum Missiles were gracious enough to give rides to those who dare. Special thanks to Winnisquam Marine to offer rides to the public in one of their new pontoon boat.

Many folks came to see the Missiles, Sidewinder, Hydrostream do laps across the lake. It was a perfect day for the boats. No wind or traffic to slow them down. Many remembered the hydroplane races back in the 90's.
I don't think anyone was offended, they enjoyed seeing the rooster tails and the sound of the sweet outboards.

My gf experienced her first ride on a tunnel boat. She was not scared at all taking corners at speed as Frank is one of the best drivers I know.
Until next year, thank you all for coming and making it a special day!

pointofview · 08-13-2012, 11:33 AM

Too bad the weather seemed to keep many home! We were there for about an hour. We had hoped to see more boats/people, but were happy it wasn't cancelled all together. Next year should be advertised better. It would be great to see at least a dozen or more of these hot rods! I miss the 2 I used to own...

sloboat · 08-14-2012, 11:13 AM

great event. Thanks to motorman and broadhopper for making this happen. i am already looking forward to next year and will try to help with the preparations. i spoke with some of the waterfront owners and did not get any negative feed back. even managed to get one out for a ride. Another magnum convert. good article in the citizen too.

Thanks !!!!!!

gtxrider · 08-22-2012, 03:09 PM

First ride in a Magnum was different! Never rode in boat that turned like that. It stays "FLAT" in the turns like a hydroplane. Hope to make it again next year.

mowtorman · 08-31-2012, 08:07 AM

If you live in Las Vegas (on LV CL for $1500). Maybe this poor boat needs a home where it's appreciated?

BroadHopper · 09-04-2012, 12:01 PM

There is a small group that got together last year and this year for a ski marathon on the lake.

http://winniskiathon.com/

I will be in touch with them and see if we can all get together. It will be fun!

mowtorman · 09-14-2012, 10:49 AM

Never as easy as you think it will be. Before and after. '91 coronado on right.
