1st Annual "That was Then, This is Now"
Wooden, Fiberglassics, and Classic and Modern Racing Boat Show.
http://muscatineboatshow.com/

The City of Muscatine, Iowa, and the Clear Lake Chapter of the ACBS are proud to welcome you to our first annual "Best of Both Worlds" boat show. You will see the glorious mahogany wooden boats of the past, fiberglassics of the 50's and 60's, and racing boats from yesterday and today. The Mississippi Riverfront is a perfect place to see your favorite mahogany classics from Chris Crafts to Century, Hackercraft, Aristocraft, Speedliner, and others. Then stroll down to the early years of fiberglass boat construction with fiberglassics that will include early Correct Craft inboards to a Herter's Flying Fish or Beeline Outboard. Then jump ahead in time to the evolution in boating with racing boats of yesterday and today. See open and closed cockpit boats in all categories from the Vintage Hydroplane Association to some of today's top boats in all of the classes of the International Hot Boat Association (IHBA) and American Power Boat Association (APBA) classes of competition.

This is a first for a combined show and we want to make this a boater's show, an event that only continue to grow. This show will cater to the boater and all suggestions will be entertained to make this show grow into the Sturgis of the boating world. The boats will be displayed on and off the water and everyone will be sure to be at the river's edge to watch the boats on the water. Muscatine used to have annual boat races on the mighty Mississippi and we want to bring them back. We now have the perfect waterfront park and staging area for a boat show and races and next year we are already looking at racing events for different categories.

Please mark your calendars now for May 19th, 2007, Rain Date May 20th. and plan now to attend. Browse through our website for more information. It will always be updated with all you need to know.

Found another weird/cool boat on that site.

Dave and Pamela Moehrke have a 1957 Vali IV and when it comes to classic fiberglass this is a very unique boat. Vali IV only made one style of boat and it is very rare. The 1957 model had huge tail fins and a head light on each side back by the passenger compartment. They also had fins like a fish and look like a shark in a way. The Moehrke's Vali IV is powered by a Mercury Mark 58 I believe since it is listed as 45hp.
