[Ron Olson]

Norm, I'm planning on being there. We'll be meeting up again Saturday at noon by the static boat display.

Misshydro is talking about entering her little Oh Boy Oberto! hydro in the competition.

 

[Dan Kramer]

[Ron Olson]

Too bad Dan. Oh well, we raised enough Hell in Fort Wayne!

 

[Josh Stollfuss]

[Grimracer]

Can not wait...

I will be at the show sat and sun in the AquaCraft Booth. If you get a chance to stop by the Futaba booth take a moment to look at some World Champion class radios. Looks like the new PK4 might be at the show!

I thought that too. A few years ago I went on a Friday as I thought that it wouldn't be as packed. Boy was I wrong! It must be that several thousand others thought the same thing.

I tried a Sunday also. I'm thinking that it was the year that the 5/3 Ballpark opened. It was slower that day but if you're shopping you miss out on some deals but then again sellers don't want to reload stuff so you can get last-minute deals.

 

[Josh Stollfuss]

Last year when I won the Competion boat class with my 69 Pak, I enter it in the show on Friday afternoon. and by 3:00 that place totally cleared out, could actually walk around. Could be different this year.

 

[Dan Kramer]

Too bad Dan. Oh well, we raised enough Hell in Fort Wayne!

i thought we only got to the raised heck level, but if he// it is, then he//! it is!!

 

[Ron Olson]

OK, we didn't raise that much Hell but still had a lot of fun there.

Oh yeah, the video turned out OK that you thought that I couldn't get. It wasn't easy, that's for sure.

[Ron Olson]

Norm was shopping for everything today and was caught checking out the booth babes!

As Josh found out, Friday was really slow and it wasn't too busy at all today. Attendance was really down as I didn't have the usual problem of fighting through the crowds.

There wasn't a lot there for the boat fans, some overpriced stuff in the swap shop area and some new boats for those into scale ships. I did manage to get out of there without spending too much money. Grimmie was showing off Aquacraft's boats.

Parking was ridiculous at $10.00 then $8.00 a head to get in.

Some of the usual suspects were there. I ran into Taylor Shaw and Randall Thomas. Rick Eyrich of RCBM fame found me.

 

[nitronewbie]

Ron, Booth babes----oh my gosh----even CJ, my 17 yr old son was drooling. We got there 10:30 friday and the place was packed again. Mr Hahn's "79" Miss Bud's griffin was the only power boat at the time. Pretty nice I will say. We had a good time and spent too much money again.

 

[Dan Kramer]

i made it close , i had a wrecker call to novi michigan, 160 miles way, i was past toledo at about 7:00pm , and then about 9:30pm. on the way back.

 

[Ron Olson]

Yes, there was a nice selection of booth babes this year, even some of the older ones were kinda hot!

The USS Missouri won Best of Show. The boaters are really stepping up their game putting the once dominating planes to shame with the quality of workmanship.

The Bud boat got 1st place in the Competition boat class. Jack Kipfer got another 1st, it must be at least his 14th year in a row in the Pleasure boat class.
