Have there been any plans for a 2015 Texas Builder's Meet? We had a great time at last year's meet and are looking forward to doing it again. Glenn

How about meeting at the Plywooden show in Port Aransas, in late fall? We had 5 or 6 of our builders there.
I would go again.

I still support the idea. We can have our bateau builders meeting at the same time than the Plywooden boat meet.

I like that idea also. I should have my Phantom up and running. I'd be up for a POC meet also this summer.

Glenn, I'm sure you are getting close to a launch. Hope to see some pics soon!

I'm up for that too. Last year was a blast with all kinds of boats and it was fun meeting so many different builders.

It looks like a deal then.
I'll let the organizers know that we will be there "in force" :D .

That kinda stinks, of the 52 weekends in the year , they had to choose the ONE that I already had plans! Sorry I'll miss you guys. But if y'all are ever in the area feel free to shot me an email and we can get together and talk boats.

Since you live just across the water from the meeting, why not come on Friday? Most will be there on Friday.

I would if I could Jacques, I will be going out of town that Thursday and not coming back til Sunday evening. If things change I will be there.
On another note, the boat is still awesome and the fish are flying over the gunwales! Good job Jacques!

We will be there with our Skoota 28 power cat. We are trucking it down to Texas after the Port Townsend WBF. Then after the PA show we will be moving on board and heading east round the Gulf to Florida and the Bahamas

Sounds like fun and I'll still have some vacation to burn, so I'll plan on attending.

Just submitted time off for 10/15-10/21. My kids are already going nuts I'm going to FL meet without them. They love Port A. They'll go double nuts when they find out I'm going. :)

Sure would like to make this trip, but one, don't believe I'll be finished with my build, and two, like ATB, a rare time when I'll be traveling for business that weekend. I'll be ready for next year!

We are planning to come by and hopefully get to meet Jacques and Richard during the show. The OD18 is still not ready but it's getting closer and I'm hoping to have it done by early next year. I'm 15 minutes from Port A. and didn't even know about the show last year but won't miss it this year.

There are lots of lodging options but I had good luck at the Howard Johnson last time.

I will be there and staying at the Bay Tree Condos. Not sure If I will bring my existing wood boat. I'm afraid to show of my first attempts at repair and restoration of a wooden boat. The boat spent about 7 years as a full time guide boat and I restored it more to work boat condition than anything else.

I have since learned just how many mistakes I made and how much I did not know. Compared to some of the work I have seen on this site, it is pretty rough looking.

I'm looking forward to it. It's great fun seeing folks and all the boats. My SK14 isn't ready but I am. Looking forward to meeting other Bateau folks.
