South Tahoe Wooden Boat Classic- July 30-31 2010

The South Tahoe Wooden Boat Classic
A Vintage Boat Show for Charity
July 30-31, 2010

Featured below is a boat that appeared in the 2008 show.

Rosebud II is a 1953, 24’ Greavette Streamliner.  We purchased her in Bow Lake , New Hampshire in January 2007.  The Greavette Boat Company was in Gravenhurst , Ontario , Canada and this boat was reportedly purchased originally by a Canadian oil corporation.  The man we purchased it from bought it from a collector who purchased it from the original owner.  

The boat hull and interior was all original.  This spring we had Sierra Boat Company of Carnelian Bay recaulk the deck in its original yellow and refinish the exterior varnish completely.  The chrome was replated by Sherm’s Custom Plating of Sacramento.  

At some point since manufacture, the boat was repowered with a 305K Series, 225 hp, Thermocon Marine engine.

 Our first “woodie” was a ’55 Hacker which we named Rosebud, after our Victorian home on the Sacramento River , which was named Rosebud Rancho when it was established in 1868.  Keeping with this tradition, our Greavette is Rosebud II.  We keep her at Lake Tahoe where we enjoy frequent outings around the Lake .
