My 8 year old grandson and I went up to the Thousand Islands in NY for
a few days, and one of the things we did was visit the Antique Boat
Museum in Clayton.

#1 is the grandson next to one of the speed boats.

#4, 5, 6 shows the Alexandra, an Elco 42 foot boat. If I was wealthy,
I wouldn't by one of those big ugly plastic things, but one of these
Elco 42's. It's a real nice boat. :-)




Nice pics.
The Elco is a beauty, but can you imagine what it would cost to run in this
day and age?
I was talking to a guy coming through a lock up north a while back and I
commented that he must pay hundreds of dollars for fuel - he had a fair
sized boat. He just laughed and said that he used over a thousand dollars
a day. I'd have to cut out coffee to afford that on my pension.

If one is wealthy, then that's not a problem :-)
