Saturday, August 24, 2013:  The annual Classic Boat Show at Bar Harbor drew a large crowd of onlookers.
Many wooden boat dating back to the early 1900's were there.
 

Some more modern ones were on display like this fiberglass runabout with twin 75 horse engines from the mid-1960's.

Gosh, that was only 50 years ago! 

Boats with big inboard engines from the 1920's are big attractions at events like this.

It takes lots of money to own and maintain one of these.

Ethyl-Ruth IV, on the left, has a V-16 engine with over 1000 horsepower. 

Yes, boating enthusiasts love these meticulously restored marvels.
Quote of the day:  Always fun seeing classic boats.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
