INCREDIBLE RARE BOATS! The Gull Lake Classic Boat Show at Bar Harbor 2023. Gar Wood, Chris Craft!

[@terryeustice5399]

Matt some beautiful wood boats. Those Garr boats are long. Just like a Garr Fish. And the Chris Crafts are just pure sweet. Love the sound of the inboard engines. I had two boats that would be classics. Had a Glasspar G-3 speed boat. With a 115 mercury outboard. Then a Chrysler Sports Satellite tri hull. With 70 Johnson stinger engine. All these toys you wish you kept. Don’t have a clue where I would keep them all at this point. The beauty of getting old o guess. Just reliving the dream. Your job on the boat shows are as good as the classic cars. Certainly appreciate all you do. Still waiting to see a wooden WW2 PT boat. Thank you Matt. 💯👍👊

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Enjoyed!!! 👍👍

Fabulous

[@patschuster9619]

Thank you Matt for filming the great boats. You even had mine included. Thank you

[@tomemling6880]

Thanks very much for capturing the great and clear audio of each of these classic and vintage woodies at many of the annual shows -- from Hessel and Bar Harbor, and beyond!

[@MattsRadShow]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.

[@Slingbld]

I'm lucky enough to know two builders of these beautiful boats. I love how even the brass screws all have the the slots facing fore' n aft.

[@johnwhltson5319]

Great job with the commentary. We used to go to the wood boat show at Excelsior on lake Minnetonka. Good times. What craftsmanship. Thanks for showing it in detail.

[@MrOpaulo]

Great Great show Matt

[@LarsLindroth]

Thank You, Matt! Have had some health issues lately, but normally I take a walk around my local harbor in Dana Point, California, and watch the big fiberglass buckets. These wooden beauties, and a handful of classic fiberglass boats, sure are a more glorious sight to behold. I was astonished to see the impressive number of boats that showed, almost like The Annual Concours d'Elegance in Lake Tahoe. Wish You A Wonderful Holiday Weekend, Matt.

[@MattsRadShow]

Thanks Lars! Appreciate it. Hope you feel better man. 👍

[@R.J.1]

[@annwalling4328]

We enjoy your videos so much. My husband kind of relives his childhood watching. Thank you.

[@MattsRadShow]

Love that! Thanks for commenting. 👍

[@williamalcott1663]

Something beautiful

[@dominikz.1376]

Thank you SO much: God Bless. I really really enjoyed the smaller or weirder/more vintage-versus-classic vessels near the end of your production, man. Gorgeous boats! I’m still surprised there are no wooden Thompson or Pen-Yan boats: they’re gorgeous, too, in their own way

[@Westlake]

Nice to see a Greavette “Streamliner” at the show. Pronounced “Gre-vette”. Greavette boats were built in Gravenhurst, Ontario Canada by Tom Greavette on Lake Muskoka near the Muskoka Wharf. Tom previously worked with Herb Ditchburn of Ditchburn Boats.

[@kentpowell5427]

Spotted the boat at 15:29 in the video and knew it had to be a Greavette, - glad you covered it later on, Grew up summering on the Muskoka lakes and at one point they were a common sight. The Muskoka area has a very long history of wooden boats with some great builders.

Very nice

[@TheArkDoc]

Chris Craft Cobra, be still my heart.

[@Mike-Olds-1]

I kept thinking of Judge Smails yelling “Spaulding” while watching this. 😆 it’s amazing how beautiful boats were constructed in the past 👍🇺🇸

[@MattsRadShow]

Lol. 😂 I bet he picks his nose.

[@tomemling6880]

Hi Matt, ... Believe the Canadian built woody "Greavette" is pronounced "Gray (like the color)" -- "Vette (like the two seat Chevrolet 😉)" -- wonderful boat show video from Gull Lake, MN, like all your others!

[@MattsRadShow]

Thanks man. Appreciate it. Was wondering. Lol.

[@MrOpaulo]

Classic boats and Mopars. Who needs cable when there's Matt Love what you do Peace

[@MattsRadShow]

Haha. Thanks man. 👍

[@matttorgersen9932]

I love your videos . My great grandfather started Capital Gears the designed gearboxes to convert those aircraft engines to marine use . In the early days it was called Auto Engine Works In St. Paul . You’ll see the plate on the top has “The Capital “ on it. Thanks again for your videos .

[@MattsRadShow]

That's awesome man. Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@ronaldjoyce7374]

They’re all gorgeous vessels, you had to have had a great time there 👍🏻😢 Does it smell like varnished, everything? Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Ron

[@MattsRadShow]

Yep. I could smell the varnish! Lol.

[@moosemanmagee4495]

This is an impressive video of a lot of 12 cylinders.

[@davidmann4533]

If only we could all go back to that time with those boatswerebuilt when life was so much better

[@Slingbld]

You just did. Time didn't go anywhere, we passed through it.

[@davidnonya7359]

damn that boat at 1:10:27 is a beauty! anybody know what boat it is?

[@MattsRadShow]

1981 Glastron-Carlson, Scimitar. You can see more footage of it at 1:09:14 👍

[@kentpowell5427]

I think the same model of boat was in a James Bond movie way back - does anyone remember ?

[@walterdavis4808]

The donzi and cigarettes of their day . Good stuff

[@scotbownes5627]

Pokey @11:21 dreeeammbooat.

[@jesuscarrillo1427]

They look like old cadillac fleetwood brougham watercrafts if ask me mate

[@3falexchina]

Thanks for the video, watching you from Kazakhstan. If in the Soviet Union era the government provide same policy like China, my grand can build similar boat. But in the past we haven't enough opportunities to made such beautiful boats. The only way we can do this today, if we not busy in daily life.
