From what I've seen, the Avi is the best venue on the river, unless you decided to go camping... I think the V drive guys have a great venue, but a lot of people don't want to camp.
I think the Brothers Loyd do a really good job at this thing. I know it's pretty thankless. However, aren't both of them getting rid of their "classic" boats! :yuk: Just jokes kids. As always, the Disco's haven't missed one yet, and we'll be there with smiles!
It's definitely not thankless. Getting to see all of the boats, hang out with good people, have something to look forward to all year long, and have a reason to have at least one of our boats running if only for one weekend out of the year, are all great motivators/rewards. I'd lie and say we get mad action from the ladies as well, but A. I'm married and Hacker's engaged, B. all of you know what we look like, so you wouldn't believe it anyways
As for the classic thing. Maybe fate interviened on behalf of the old Spectra. Since my leg's been busted, things have changed a little and as of right now, I don't have any plans to be signing the title over to anyone. But don't expect to see her at the CBBB. Hopefully Hacker's ride comes out with the enduring "classic" vibe to it that certain boats have managed to hold onto whether they were built in 75 or 2005. For the first time in my life I can honestly say that I'm getting a little envious of my little bro's boat. It's comming together real nice and clean. So much so in fact, that when it's done he might want to think about a name change.
