Awesome footage! I’m appreciating these old wooden works of art more and more. I’m over here in Minnesota. It’s curious if you get any calls from Mahogany Bay? As you can probably tell. It’s a little wood boat restoration shop out west of Minneapolis. Wondering if you’ve had to find the impossible part of a restoration. Maybe y’all did some horse trading? For all I know, you might have been doing business with each other for the last twenty years. I do t think that the wooden boat enthusiasts world is that big. You’d almost have to run across one another sooner or later.

Beautiful objects of craftmanship.

Inspiring!

🥰

The Boat with the Reg number NY 3861 AS is "The Arc" and belongs to Jim from Grenell Island. The boat was built by Fry in Clayton more then 100 years ago. The Antique Boat Museum in Clayton own the sister boat "Shadow" which is on Display at the Doebler Storage. Body line drwawings of the Shadow can be obtained from the Museums Online archive . The video also shows Boldt's Castle and boat house. Boat Number 3 in the boat house is one of 19 built "number boats"

It could be the new Antique Boat on the Seneca River

Most old wooden boats are well cared for until they are handed over to the next generation of custodians. This process continues the heritage, and also keeps the knowledge and skills of boat building alive. Without doubt, the world is a nicer place with these wooden wonders on the water! 😉

Well I gotta give it to ya guys. I watch absolutely zero tell lie vision so whatever viddy yo stimulation i receive, i get off of YT or Epoch TV, Rumble, etc. That said; to stumble across this channel and spend an hour looking at some of the baddest water sleds from decades before fibreglass trees of which i used to own two the latter being a 1973 Ski Nautique. Sure miss laying down on my slalom skis on her and wakeboarding to1o. Her name was "Emotional Rescue" and I'd love to know if she's still out there somewhere in reverse rotation, confusing the hell out of her newest lion tamer?😅

Don't buy a wood boat.... I have owned many of them.. The biggest was a 106 schooner, (1918) and a 45 ft 1964 Huckins Fairform Flyer.. And have run many... Boatyards also will not haul old wooden boats...

I get it that you are interviewing people, but while you are talking, could you show more of the boats?

Humans are geniuses

I'm a Chris Craft man @ 68 yrs of age. There's a CC in a barn in Danville, Indiana that is huge,my only problem is I cannot remember how to get back there & the friend I went with passed away,I'm 99.9% sure it's still there, I keep driving around...I will find it , I hope I do anyway

Wish I could have been there... It was a pleasure talking with you on the phone. Look into George Crouch and do an episode of his designs, potentially.

This is a delightful show, hope to see more

Awesome video. My dad has a 1931 Dee white 19ft split cockpit that needs to be restored at some point. My dad found it in a garage in Detroit. There definitely is not much info on these old boats luckily I found this video.

Seen you guys at Howard's classics boats at the show I'm his apprentice thanks for sharing.

I see a Philbrick boat in the pictures. We had one, I was glad when we got rid of it. Our Glidercraft V-drive was a much better boat. My dad sold it when I went to Vietnam. I wish he had kept it.

How about an article on Clearlake California, specifically upper lake. Thats where the racing was in Nor Cal. Actually guys came up from LA to race there. We used to stay in Soda Bay, but since the racing was either in Nice or Lakeport we eventually moved to Lakeport with the boats. When I was a kid we had exclusive use of Pigs beach. It was a great place to teach waterskiing. Sandy bottom shallow enough tha you would beach your boat 20 ft from shore and wade to the beach with your blankets and coolers. Being that the ski club was involved in racing it was important to have a good place to teach. Chuck Sterns learned to ski the same day thst I did. I was a late bloomer. Most kids in the club could ski by the time they started grammar school, 6 to 8 yrs old. I didn't learn until I was 12. I should say that I already knew how, just hadn't done it yet. At this point its been years and I am getting nostalgic.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, how many of these boats were rum runners?

Love your channel and looking forward to many more videos. On the small lake in Michigan in 1969 it was all Mahogany and Chrome.

Poor guy had no chance deep water start with a modern thin slalom ski 😂 my dad use to ski behind a 1956 16’ Lyman I believe but it definitely has the old brown cover 35hp Johnson motor with skis he made himself which I still have. He was 180lb at that time and he would drag quite awhile before getting up. That was 1969 😇

I trust your ramblings take you to Algonac Michigan. Love to see these old boats, I remember them from my growing up in the Great Lakes.

Been there many times. It is Americana at its best.

Year round?

Alexandria Bay is where I was first introduced to the wonderful world of wooden boats !!! … close by , at the headwaters of Black Lake is where I experienced the heady feeling of opening one up with just a 40 hp outboard !!! … part of the Thousand Islands DNA !!!

Well done! A great vacation destination for sure!

Great presentation!!! Sending beautiful boat vibes from NJ

Great Vidio. A must see.😊

Very informative and well done!

Great shoot and show!

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada my family owns a ditchburn not originally but after the first owner passed away

This is awesome.

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video my family owns an original ditchburn thanks for the presentation

AWESOME VIDEO! That's my kids and I at 30:45. It was our first time visiting 1000 Islands from Ohio We loved everything about the area. Great video. I cannot wait to share with my children!

Fantastic video!!! Great job of promoting our hobby through ACBS and Heartland Classics. See you Saturday at the Winter workshop

May we be the first to comment....great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you get a lot of views......See you Saturday....

Well Done!!!

Very good, all members would love this plus others can see how much fun and interesting this hobby is!

Can't wait for the episode!

Love these videos. This one seems to indicate a move toward being advertisements. Not sure I’m looking forward to that.

Totally amazing! My brother owned a chris craft double cockpit in 1965. I still remember it fondly. Thanks for sharing your time and talent! KANSAS

I love this!!!!💖💖💖 and I’ve missed seeing Tyler Harcott. He’s not afraid to dig in and he’s super easy to follow. More please!!!!

Congratulations Murray, you managed to get hold of the most beautiful cold molded mahogany boat on the planet. I have been admiring this boat for years. Bravo Coeur Customs. A true marvel.

Love the show!

It was great meeting you and the crew at the show, this episode is great. I’m sharing everywhere I can!

I was 11 years old staying at my uncle’s place on Deep Creek Lake in Maryland. One of his friends drove a 6 cylinder Chris Craft wide open past our dock. Still remember the growl of that motor and the shiny wood. That was 61 years ago. I was hooked on wooden speed boats from then on. Thanks for this tremendous video.

We're hooked! Oh wait, we already were. We especially love the "gray boats" that we find, weathered beyond most folks recognition, the ones that were waiting for a ride to the landfill. It's rewarding to restore them and return them to their natural habitat. Great video, nice job weaving the history in with the restoration. Huzzah!

Great job on this video!!!

Great job!!!!! Thanks for the great effort. Hope this will draw more young folks into the hobby.

Awesome
