While we were staying at Crooked Creek Campground, an
Antique and Classic Boat Show was held at the marina that is part of the campground. They are all wooden boats and most were made by
Chris Craft. They dated from 1940 to the mid-60’s. All seemed to be powered by big V-8 auto engines producing 300 - 350 hp. Here are a few of the boats docked at the marina:
I loved the beautiful wood deck on the front of this boat:
This boat was named "OORAH" a Marine Corp chant or shout. So naturally it is owned by a retired Marine.
He and his wife travel in a restored 1959 GM Bus also named "OORAH". You can tell from the name, from the destination of "Parris Island" shown on the front and from the paint scheme that it is owned by a Marine. It is really a beauty.
it was great fun meeting you at lake keowee. we love the article and pictures...OoRAH
