Great video,reminds me of the time when I was growing up in upstate New York, where Hacker Craft was based in a little town at the north end of Lake George.

[@classicperformance]

Indeed, the upstate NY lakes were hot spots for these old boats!!!

BTW, when I was a kid my dad bought a Yellow Jacket molded plywood boat. It was sweet.

[@classicperformance]

Great story!! I recall the Yellow Jacket plywood boats manufactured in Dennison Texas! I believe that is also the boat referenced in The Alan Jackson song "drive". kzbin.info/www/bejne/moLIZHeBebaFiNU

[@abouttime5000]

Requires a great deal of maintenance to keep these beauties looking sharp.

[@classicperformance]

Yes, it is indeed a labor of love which is evident. Living works of craftsmanship and art.

Cool Boat

[@classicperformance]

Thanks, Javier! They were very cool!!

[@stanthurman9008]

Beautiful boats you have , I got a 1949 Bourber 12 ft runabout built in Newburn Up close to your show . But not as beautiful as yours and got a 194? Army Barge motor with 2 different lower units , it’s a 22 hp Johnson , still painted O-D Green .

[@classicperformance]

Nice!!!! let's keep them floating for future generations!!! Thanks for the interest and support and well as hearing about yours.

[@primem1]

Dan Lee Boating will build you your dream 1930’s boat

[@classicperformance]

We'll check out dan Lee!! Thanks!

[@Anthonyjt12]

The 61 boats all had cable steering that was finicky because the cables could stretch or come loose. The hydraulic steering is not orginal

[@classicperformance]

Correct. Many are upfitted with modern rigging and power for reliability and safety also making them more readily useable with non-soak 5200 bottoms.

When boats were boats

[@classicperformance]

These indeed are boats. I would love to see a fiberglass boat from today, 60 years from now. You most likely will not.

[@fredliperson9171]

I'm pretty sure the fella was thinking one a week not one a month😂

[@classicperformance]

Agreed! :)

[@RobertEmens]

Thanks for doing the video. I contemplated going to the show from NY but didn't make it. Suggestion. Keep hand out of video and do not know of any boat or car guy that likes someone to put there hands on their hard work.

[@classicperformance]

Robert, I appreciate the tips to consider. I'd never touch a car at a car show. With boats, these are in open splashing water, had a few light showers on them over the weekend, plenty of pollen this time of year, and I asked if I could touch it. These are not cars at an indoor car show brought in enclosed trailers which you would never touch. Boats like this once back at the shop will require extensive cleaning and evacuating water out of the hull. Have you ever had assistance in docking without someone touching your boat? Have you ever entered a boat without stepping or sitting on the side of it or without stepping on a seat?

''Floating Acoustic Guitars''

[@classicperformance]

Yes!! ha!

[@sedalia9356]

Ah, Dick Pope envy. Obsession and envy is a wonderful(terrible) cognitive dissonance exercise. I have done my share too, yet everyone seems to promote it.

[@classicperformance]

Thanks for the feedback and information! Appreciate your interest and insight.

[@steveleblanc6007]

Get that baby blue fiberglass boat out of there. What a disgrace to all the beautiful wooden mahogany boats!

[@classicperformance]

Ahhh, Steve. some of those old fiberglass boats need some love too. We do appreciate the wooden ones tho! Agree
