Chris Craft Cobra, be still my heart.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Enjoyed!!! 👍👍

[@williamalcott1663]

Something beautiful

[@MrOpaulo]

Great Great show Matt

[@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

[@walterdavis4808]

The donzi and cigarettes of their day . Good stuff

[@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. 👍

[@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.

[@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. 💯👍👊

[@jesuscarrillo1427]

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

[@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 ?

[@davea5150]

I'm old and getting older!! Get going!! Idle speed is boring!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@janmihaela]

[@MattsRadShow]

Haha. Thanks man. 👍

[@markmallia179]

Very nice

[@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.

[@scotbownes5627]

Beautiful boats - (pieces of art) - my hotrod side can’t help but wonder how quick some of those big beautiful boats are 🙂

[@denmark219]

Pokey @11:21 dreeeammbooat.

[@moosemanmagee4495]

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

[@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.

[@annwalling4328]

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

[@MattsRadShow]

Love that! Thanks for commenting. 👍

[@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.

[@davidmann4533]
