No clue on the boats. The auction house is dropping the ball on this once in a lifetime auction. They don't know the first thing about promotion and advertising.

any clue what kind of boats are for sale? just one, a bunch? I looked at the site and got no info...but thank you. I will try and check it out

Hey,
If you know the Smiths, maybe a call to them would be a big help to Howard. They really have a pretty crappy description of the stuff and no pictures. I mean "many surprises"?? How about no surprises, you list the sh!t so you can attract buyers.. There are guys from all over the country that would be interested in the boat molds, but really, how about a little more info? Are they for dinghys or the V-king?? Pictures would help a ton.

I was gonna call them on Monday because I thought they were kind of doing a disservice by having such little exposure.

This auction should be on Craigslist with "hydrostream" in the tag line..

Smith Auctions. Know them really well. Steve Smith used to live behind us and run and own Lakeside Cabinets but sold the business when he moved. He ran the cabinet shop from his house. He is also did all of the custom cabinets in my moms house. Also owns (Or did at least, not sure if its still there) an Amish furniture store, and a few other things along with Smith Auctions.

Ok, since I found this on the site, I'll put it on here and S&F. Howard told me about this a couple months ago, but I did not want to post till it was on line.

is that upper michigan? sounds good. i will look into it, hopping to do this season but need few things still

My suggestion would be to come race with us in the UMPBA, only because I'm in the club. I have no knowledge of how the tcpba runs it's classes. One nice thing about our club is that the classes are set up by your speed alone so every boat motor combo will fit in a class from 65mph up to 115.
