I own an old boat (1947 Garwood mahogany planked all wood inboard engine), thus I am the OLDBOAT guy. And I am old, (white hair on face) and that makes me the OLD boatguy.
This is a story of a Restoration
I restored this boat from April 2006 to October 2008. You will need to go to the very bottom, October 2008, to find the biginning. See blog archive on the right side.

Montana Boat Show
A few of the 40 beautiful boats at Lakeside, Flathead Lake, Montana on August 21, 2009. The first tree pictures are "The Other Women".
Crash She's had lots of life this summer. I've towed her 5000 miles, operated her 30 hours, towed 19 skiers, and about 15 other riders! There is also some trailer and dock rash.
I'm from Idaho, born and raised on a farm. I spent 2 years in the Army during the cold war, and 5 years in Salt Lake City. The rest of my life has been in Idaho. I have 6 children, 21 grand children and 26 great-grand children, scattered in California, Texas, Colorado, Idaho, Utah and Arizona. I am the youngest of seven with only two of us left. I have strong family ties and I am a religious person with strong moral ethics. Like L'll Abner says, "I got scruples."
I have been an airplane pilot for fifty years, owned 1 plane and worked as a corporate pilot for 10 years. I have owned 6 boats, 22 cars and several dogs and cats. I was married to one beautiful lady for 42 years, 2 months and 5 days. Her generous heart got tired and she went to a better place in September of 2007. But this is not about sympathy. I am a happy person, never bored with several hobbies. I am also a computer adventure game addict.

Hi dad -- I'm glad you enjoyed your travels to the boat shows this summer! Which ones are you going to go to next year?
Yea SWIRL, lots of TLC, and having lots of fun with the boat at the shows.
Lisa, I'm going to go to Portland, Or., and maybe Texas. Nothing set in stone yet.
Oh, it's so fun to see your boat! It's bee-U-tiful!
Reminds me of the good ole days when you were bringing her back to life.
