talked to the seller this morning on her, we are putting off my picking her up till next weekend, as he was still out of town, as well as will allow me to spend some time back home/ grab the camper out of storage down there n go camping for the weekend, so maybe I will be able to pick up the larson this weekend instead...

=) you can count on them pics. really hoping I can nab that thunderhawk tomorrow, spent the entire day moving about 8 cubic yards of 30 year old manure by pitchfork, shovel and my old truck, so i can fit the two boats coming home in the days to come as well as my tractor in the middle section of the shop too..

Went today n picked up the Lake N Sea, she didn't fair the ride home to well, the lower hull split open on me most likely happened on those CRAPPY iowa gravels
 not to mention I nearly walked away with an empty trailer after driving 200+ miles one way for the boat, as the transom was FAAR more worse than I could see in the pictures, lesson learned, ask a lot more questions. But I figure I may be able to recoup most or all of my money in parts if I decide to scrap her... all in all crappy day not to mention the rental house has a leak in the 2 year old roof....

Thanks Greg, it is a neat looking boat, even looking like she does, it got some looks on the way home. Guess I will file her in the down the road projects file, and get back on the belmont. speaking of the belmont, I can't believe California Chrome lost today, (listened to the race on the radio today) So much for another triple crown winner this year.

Thank you Byron, was a long drive/day. The pics on the side of the road are at Ice harbor, across the harbor from the Mississippi river museum in Dubuque, IA. The boat has potential, Could just completely mod it (as the glass is pretty bad in the hull) and make a single cockpit speedster out of her, or go original, but there's a lot of work to be done to her as well as the rear seat pans are long gone......

I thought that area looked familiar! (Born and raised just north of Cedar Rapids, IA.) Had a "homesick" moment there Joe, we used to love going over to "the river".  Don't feel too bad about the Lake N Sea, that happens sometimes. There's a thread back in the archives here where I bought a Custom Craft that "I just had to have", but decided it was too far gone for my skill level once I got it home and inspected it properly. Kept the trailer and sold the hull, "make lemonade when you have lemons" if you will. |

Hi Mark, I was born n raised in Cedar Rapids so I'm from that area too. I know all to often the homesick feeling. always nice to run into a Iowa Cedar vallian. I'm guessing you weren't too far from the wapsi river, That's an awesome little river, once took my 57 shell lake rocket up river from Animosa past stone city to matsels bridge while the river was up a little. That sure was a fun run.
The best river floats are from paris bridge to pinicoln ridge, going to be camping on the river in central city next weekend... It's funny how we always think we would never miss that d@mn place till we leave... wasn't all that bad after all.. |

Shake, et. al.,
Lake N Sea boats were often called "LEAK & SINK", when I was stationed at Ft McCoy, as they had some "quality control problems" in the early days. = SOME hulls were "just fine" & some were anything BUT "fine". - Sounds like you got one of the latter sort. PITY. yours, satx |

I remember when they first built the park at Pinicoln Ridge, we were some of the first kids to get to go up in the tower! (Big deal back then.) Pulling Bullheads and Catfish out of the "Wapsie" was a way of life back then, we were from Coggon, just 5 mi north of Central City on Hwy 13. You just kicked in some more great memories from a time gone by, THANKS AGAIN!

Haha, but the beer makes it valid behavior lol.
I might be really starting to like this little boat, heck maybe like it enough to attempt to save it sometime in the future... |

You "ain't right" Joe! Ha ha (Many of us can relate, though.) My youngest brother had a cabin on the river just south of the bridge in Troy Mills, probably the same "neighborhood". He ended up selling it after having to rebuild/refurbish it about three times when all the flooding happened several years back. (Was that '08?) Anyway, looks like you have "bonded" with the Lake N Sea, guess she's staying !?!? |

yessir, I do believe it was 08, and I'm willing to bet it's the exact same set of cabins back there as where I got the falls flyer, I got her from a gent by the name of Dick Holtz. My Great grand parents used to own the blue farm house up there by the road, next to the road back to the cabins. Good times back then...

Hi mates,
Sorry to bring up this old thread but when reading I felt a need to post here for I too grew up in eastern Iowa. I now live in the north woods of Wisconsin. I was born in Savanna, Ill. Moved to Maquoketa, Ia. at age 5 and then Delmar 2 years latter and graduated H,S. in 1971 from Delwood high. So in my teens I was a little over 30 miles from the Mississippi if I went north, south, or east. My brothers, sisters and I spent many a day and night on the Wapsi, the north and south fork of the Maquoketa river, Green Island bottoms, and of coarse the mighty Miss. Our boat was grandpa's 1955 Shell Lake G45 with a 57 Johnson 18hp electric start, that he bought new and is now mine. We all learned to ski behind that little boat. You guys have brought back so many good memories for me, I thank You. Regards, Gene PS-morel mushroom hunting and small mouth bass fishing from Jointerville landing above the Maquoketa dam was the greatest!!! |
