Such an awesome video and a wonderful museum for American-made antique & classic boats of all shapes and sizes! Thank you for sharing! Many boats I haven't seen before as well! The Dodge boat, "Garbo" was super nice and that wall of outboards was amazing! Wonder how often the museum rotates their collections. Impressed to see the huge interest of people in Michigan to continue to share and maintain the passion and the history of their boat building industries. Being surrounded by these boat-building regions is the best. Michigan to the west, Clayton, NY to the east, and Gravenhurst (Muskoka) to the north :)
Chris Craft kit boat was a Barracuda. My dad and uncles built it. Started out with an old pre war rope start 18hp of unknown origins. It could get skiers up. Following year came a 35hp Big Twin. Boat was passed on to me. My buddies and I skied a lot behind the boat. Neat boat.
The wonderful world of wooden boats! I hope to visit this place someday. I build wooden boats myself and I perfectly understand the fascination with this world.
Cool video. My vintage boat has the same motor as the Alumacraft War Canoe except mine has an cast aluminum valve cover not stamped steel.. Aerojet Marine.
I belong to a boat club up here in Canada,it's known as Trent Seven Antique and Classic Boat Association,I don't have a boat iether,but still have a passion for them
You're showing us things never taught was in there. Your ideas are very special and this is the reason why I like following your videos the most. You're such a very smart man. Keep it up!!
Thanks for the video, have a classic I helped my father build in 1960. Only one left from 4-14 footers we built. Restored it for the 3rd time last summer. My mint 1969 Johnson 20 hp. was stolen and could use one of those 1956 Johnson 18 hp. motors to make it period correct. Currently has a 2011 25 hp. Yamaha which is a good motor but not an old Johnson!
I've been boating since preteen and I haven't seen anything like these gems. I'm 66 now. Thanks for sharing. Did you ever hear of the speedboat Miss Atlantic City? I think I was three years old when I took a ride on it and I was hooked. Pretty sure it was a Chris-Craft or a Hackney
The “Steamboat “you were looking at was actually a naphtha launch. Instead of boiling water they boiled naphtha to get around Steamboat laws at the time.
they made the movie! it was about a hydroplane! very cool! madison. i'd like to have my 81 hydrostream viper in there!. it looks stock. trophy! pristine to a point. better than new! it shows a history of that boat.! nice story around that boat! even personal. from the 80s.
As beautiful as the Gar Wood and Chris Craft boats are, the Italian made Riva takes the prize for the most carefully detailed, best equipped, and I feel, finest built of the wooden speed boats. Ferruccio Lamborghini contracted with Riva to install 2 of his 350 hp V12 engines in his Riva. A stunning craft for sure that would leave all other speedboats of its time far back in his wake!
@@outdoorlifemaine6691 - Only an all out built for record braking craft like Sir Malcolm Campbell's Bluebird. Not so for a production built speed boat, not even close!
Im not an old boat guy but Im sure an old outboard guy,LOL! Love those old 1956-58 Johnsons curious if they are all restored or N.O.Stock.In reference to what you would call an ornament on a boat front I would think bow ornament would be correct. I have three restored 1950S 18HP motors I would think of possibly donating at some point to this museum.Thanks for posting!
That was cool. Love history and museums. The music you use in the quick fly through is in the narrowboat vlogs by Minimal List on TH-cam. What an interesting coincidence. Did you get to see narrowboats in the UK?
Thanks! me too. I'll have to check out that TH-cam Channel, haven't seen that one yet. Narrow boats are cool! I saw a few of them when I lived in the UK. There's a cool spot in Falkirk called the Falkirk Wheel! Super cool. The song I used in that part is called Morning Mandolin by Chris Haugen. It has Mandolin in it and to me that just has a good nautical Feel. It's free to download on youtube audio if you like. There's only so much music that has a nautical feel on youtube's audio library so not surprised it's being used for boat stuff. Lol.
@@MattsRadShow Nice! I am familiar with the Falkirk Wheel. Saw it on a trip. Only other narrowboats I saw in person were along the Welsh border. For some reason this year I've been hooked on Narrowboat vlogs and a MN vlogger.
Very nice! I don’t think God has ever allowed an ugly boat to be built. I’ve never seen a boat of any type or size that I didn’t love. When I was 17 years old I had 5 boats and no car. If I still had all the boats I had in the 80’s I’d be a super wealthy guy but I always wanted to move on to the next experience and I’d lose my butt on some trade. Lol I don’t regret any of it though. I’ve been fortunate enough to have the chance to experience many different types of boats in my life. The craftsmanship and attention to detail that was put into almost everything built between 1925 to about 1975 was simply amazing. America has really lost something special by losing their ability to create and manufacture these days. Very sad.
Very nice museum, but I don't know how they stay in business without another visitor to be seen anywhere in the video. Hopefully that's just temporary because of the virus.
We really like your videos, especially about the old boats-- but what we absolutely hate is the unneeded, and very annoying, and played much too loudly whenever you aren't talking music. My wife controls the sound on our TV, and her thumb is now sprained from turning the volume up and down hundreds of times, as you talk, and then revert to just some scenes and that horrible din. I'd rather listen to you cough up a hairball, or just mumble some useless information on the boats than hear the stupid music. So I implore you--- knock that crap off please.

You said "back" again! 😅
Agreed, the stern of some of those boats look like my 71 Corvette Roadster.
Thank you that was a great video!
Amazing video! Of wooden boats! Mike from Missouri
I really enjoyed that! Thank you so much!
Agréable rencontre ! Magnifique 👍👍👍

Thank You! 😎👍
Lived all my life in Minnesota and never even heard of this place. So rad. I definitely need to check this out.
It's a hidden gem! If you like boats.
Who else appreciated that Starflite on the heliboat. Thats hilarious.
Again other super boat video! Thanks
Very interesting! Thanks for posting! 👍🙋♂️🖖🏻
Wow they are really nice boats. Lots of money put into them.
Thanks for posting, very cool video! Will have to stop by this museum some day!
Great vid,
Pretty boats. Can't see using them. Lots of love restoring them.
Yeah for sure! Sooooooooo nice.

C'est magnifique, je vous remercie. 😉
Thanks for the video man, lovely boats. FYI a hood ornament like that one on the front of a boat is simply called a ‘figurehead’
Place to go now on my bucketlist, when I buy my RV....
I really enjoyed this video.
I really enjoyed this .
My fingers hurt just watching this. Great video!
16:28 that hood ornament is called a
'Figurehead'...
Cool. Thanks! I was wondering.
Whoops I just added this haha well done
Thanks very fantastic

I suspect that those fins on the side of the boat that you pointed out are an air vent for the engine compatement.
The “Steamboat “you were looking at was actually a naphtha launch. Instead of boiling water they boiled naphtha to get around Steamboat laws at the time.

more than just a boat, but it's an art and lifestyle.
The “hood” ornament is called a maidens head , check out square riggers . Thanks Tony
Great job!! I love history and old vehicles of any kind. Awesome video.
Thanks man!
As beautiful as the Gar Wood and Chris Craft boats are, the Italian made Riva takes the prize for the most carefully detailed, best equipped, and I feel, finest built of the wooden speed boats.

One's opinion doesn't make it a fact
Also they were going over 200 miles an hour in 1930s on boats
Give it up dude Italy's Heyday was thousands of years ago I know Italians like to forget their past but Italy is a just another European country
@@outdoorlifemaine6691 - Very true! Opinions, however, are food for thought! Elections are won solely by opinions!
@@outdoorlifemaine6691 - Only an all out built for record braking craft like Sir Malcolm Campbell's Bluebird. Not so for a production built speed boat, not even close!

The front trim on the bow of a boat running down to the water is called the "Cutwater"
The front is called the cut water and the Chrome is an air intake to go to a duck to feed the motor
That Alumacraft War Canoe is Crosley powered.

Steam launches love them.
Bow Sprit...hood hahaha
👍🇺🇸
maybe if you go another museum you can tell us then , the name of the boat, and the builder, and the year.
The movie Madison is about a vintage, offshore boats
Unlimited Hydroplane
They really don't make them like they used to
My dad Tom annunziata owns the hilo bot
Very nice museum, but I don't know how they stay in business without another visitor to be seen anywhere in the video. Hopefully that's just temporary because of the virus.
Not a "boat car". Just a car made to LOOK like a boat @ 9:30 mark
Dodge should have just kept making boats but then no Cummins but probably still power stroke nah lol 😂
Gar Wood, not GarWood........he was a racer/boat builder
