BASS LAKE fest Pic's..................

[steve d]

Cannot describe this wonderful setting. But most of all the effort it took by B.L. and company to put this together had to have been relentless.
Thank you..............and for those of you who were unable to be there ..........this is for you:

It was a great show... Just wanted to say thanks to Brian Lynch and to everyone who worked so hard to put on the show and get it together. I have never seen so many beautiful boats in one place. That made judging them very difficult... It was also great to meet so many people involved with V-drive boats.

This show is completely off the hook. Man, what beauty! Makes me hate being so far away. Who'da thunk Mr Lynch would have kept CVDCOA together this long...a testament to the people involved.
Now, that said, how about some captions for all these photos so the geographically challenged will know who's who and what's what? Please??
Like, give us a line up on who all these fine winners are? I only recognize a couple of folks just from past postings....

The boat pictured is a BRAND NEW boat.
It is a one of a kind Giroux Custom Boats/Hondo XH-511T.
This boat is available for sale.
For more information on the particular boat, you can PM "BoatAnchor" in these forums for details.
He might even be persuaded to provide some more photos of this boat as well.

[PE 316]

The only pictures I have of this boat (besides those shown above) are pre-paint, pre-stain and pre-epoxied deck...
IF I had the extra money laying around THIS BOAT WOULD BE IN MY GARAGE RIGHT NOW!!!

[boater250s]

Hi Daren,
We finally put a motor in your old boat, it's really nice-we enjoy it, actually I kept the boat and my son purchased the orange boat with four seats, his wife said he needed to get a family boat, so what can she say it has four seats. Two for them and two for the kids. Maybe we will see you around, take care.

If you look closely, the hull is currently a (pre)Stage-1 hull.
The engine and seats are in it just for "show."

Thanks for the info. Great photos.........great boats. I wish they would have a outing in this area, or a little closer to Tennessee.

What a great week! Thanks to B. L. and all of his crew for their hard work.
A special thanks to the Pines Resort for hosting this event. Thank you GM of the Pines, Rafael Torres, we enjoyed meeting you. Always a thanks to Chris Blevins. And to Dwight Samuels, Thank you!

Man there was alot of nice boats there!:)
I wish mine was done. It is sure nice to see all of the V-Drives!!!:D :D :D

[BILLY.B]

This is a great show and an even cooler place to have it. Can't run the loud boats, maybe someday that will happen, but it's still cool to walk around and see what everybody's up too as far as there rides go and to also meet new people. Brian and the crew did a great job with this event and I personally would love to see it grow. The wood deck entry's were off the hook this year. Jim Miller and Justin Miller do some off the hook wook. They are true craftsman. Grioux's T-deck entry was an awesome piece also. Harlan Orin who is a wood deck master as we all know was even commenting on how nice the job was. Congrats to Richard Vanbennan who took home the best boat award with his Bezer entry. Nice to see all of his and Dave Sammons / Dick Waltrips work get reconized. Just great to see creative minds at work, and this show showed all of that.

[steve d]

Had problems with this one. Also didn't get a shot of the Miller's beautiful
"River Cruiser" and the 1974 Schiada next to it......Anyone have them?

Man that is some awesome woodwork! Why only two motors? Don't let LSR see that, he'll go home and put three in his flatbottom (with 12 turbos).
