WOW. Lake George was the greatest.
Went boat riding with Ed and his lovely wife Augusta on thursday afternoon. We got a wonderful tour of his home, the lake and its islands. Ed and Augusta have a wonderful home on the lake.

That afternoon we also had cocktails at "Indian Kettles". The name came from the round holes in the rock that the indians used for cooking and grinding corn.
What a grand view!

Friday we went shopping in Bolton. We also stopped to look at the historic Sagamore Hotel. Ed and I snuck off to Precision Marine to view their latest creation; a 700hp bigblock mercruiser engine with a whipplecharger.
"MR. WHIPPLE!!!"

Later that day we went out cruising the lake in a 1932 23' triple cockpit Garwood mahogany boat that belonged to one of Ed's Neighbors.On board was My wife and I, Ed & Augusta and George and Bonnie from the Lake Winipawhatchamacallit Donzi club.

The morning of the meet was started by a flyover from a group of A10 wart hog tank killers. I won't ask how Ed arranged that one. The meet was alot fun.

GREAT PICS SCOTT!

You make me miss my old home lake. Looks like you had a great time.

I understand that Lake George Donzi dealer is now Dennis Quark at Shorline - is this true? He is my dealer also for brand C.

Ed - Sounds like another great one - sorry I'm so far away in Sarasota. So much going on at work and the rebuilding of my company that I can't leave. If Scott would have taken a pic across the lake from Idian Kettles - you would have seen my house! Now - I really miss is - were coming up the end of July!

PS - ED - did you ever get the guy in Heuletts Landing to join with his 16 Baby??

Hi Andy,
Wait till you see Indian Kettles. Some local people bought it after the original owner died and spent a half million to renovate it and its really wonderful. Never found your guy in Hueletts but have a guy with a 16 outboard in Dark Bay just north of Hueletts. Shoreline is the new dealer as of May 2000 and also do the Chris Craft thing. Our meet this year was wonderful and we had 42 classics and 3 turned in and left because of no parking at a late hour. Stop on the Lake and say hello. Last dock on Lake side of Cotton point going North, south of Basin Bay.
