Lake Tahoe, Emerald Bay, Sick Boats, Pic's

[SummerBreeze]

Did a two night stay in Emerald Bay, Tahoe. Took a few pic's at the tea house on Fannette Island. The little boat with the tower was taking pictures of a couple of chicks in a open bow boat for some type of magazine martini add.

A few Sick Tahoe wooden Boats. This one is a 1960's Riva Aquarama One of my Fav's. I like the million dollar houses too

This boat is very cool........ "The Thunderbird"
Built for the late Millionaire/Playboy "George Whittell" in 1940. The boat was constructed of double planked maghogany/brushed stainless. It was later bought by the late casino owner "Bill Harrah". Bill had the 550hp twin engines changed to twin Allison V-12 Aircraft Engines rated at 1000hp each. Cost to build in todays money is 3.3 million.This boat is something to see and hear.

I forgot how beautiful Lake Tahoe is. Have not been there since we got married on the lake 3-1/2 years ago.

That riva was parked/floating here at the "Bellagio" hotel ,LAKE when it opened. Steve Wynn owned it. It was later shipped up to his Tahoe house. Has a pair of 502's I was taking care of the motor/maint when it was on the lake. Ran them every week for a 1/2 hr. the boat took a beating from the lake water. I guess 22 million gallons of "pool treated" water flying around every day really made it hard for the wood .
Nice boats
