Indianapolis Boat, Sport and Travel Show Classics

I hope I'm putting this in the right place. Here's some pics from the boat show yesterday. Some really neat looking antique engines and boats. There were some beautiful Chris-Crafts there. I thought some of you resto guys would enjoy them.

couple more. The close-up outboard in the post above is a 1916 model. I'll take some more pics later this week when we go back. It's too big to do in a day lol.

It's the largest in the country and luckily only 30 minutes away lol. They hold it at our state fairgrounds and use the indoor coliseum along with multiple convention buildings linked with temporary tunnels. It really is crazy how big it is. I spent 5hrs yesterday walking the aisles and still didn't get to see alot of it. The antique section is pretty big itself and owners love talking about their resto's.

Just back from the Memphis TN show, took me about a hour to go through and an hour to do a second round. Lots of booths that had nothing to do with boats at all, food, clothes, home improvement, travel trailers, etc.

A trip to this show looks like it would be justifiable.
