Lollypop - an absolutely stunning 24 foot Hacker Craft

Owner/Driver - Bob Calhoun

Lollypop is a custom built 24 foot Hacker Craft reproduction with a very high crown to the deck, special mahogany wood with a deep mahogany stain, elegant green marine upholstery and deluxe Hacker hardware. This boat is absolutely stunning, and with the fuel injected Crusader marine motor, this boat was also made to run "at speed" for elegant afternoon boat rides and beautiful sunset cruises. The Hurth down/angle transmission provides for a low drive shaft angle, and the newer 4-blade prop technology is very efficient and very smooth. The boat is now back in the shop some touchup and spring commissioning. Spring launching ceremonies are scheduled for Friday, May 24th - come join all the fun !!!

Tavares Fall Thunder Vintage Regatta

November 8-10, 2013

A major event on the Florida CRA Winter Vintage Circuit !!!

       

       

The past will come alive as the vintage and classic race boats of bygone eras return to Wooten Park in Tavares, Florida for our seventh annual Tavares Fall Thunder Vintage Regatta. Tavares is a major stop on the CRA Winter Vintage Circuit, and this fall's regatta expands to 3 full days, with over 75 beautifully restored vintage and classis race boats running demonstration laps on a 1 mile oval course on beautiful Lake Dora. In addition to seeing and hearing these unique and beautiful boats run, spectators are invited to view them close-up in the pit area at Wooten Park on both Saturday and Sunday. We will be running large heats of all vintage classes, including outboards, small hydros, mid-hydros, large hydros, runabouts, flatbottoms, skiffs, speedsters, gold cuppers, and large triple cockpit runabouts. Stay tuned for details about our package deal - including winter storage and three vintage regattas !!!
