Classic wooden boat shows bring people together from all over the U.S. to socialize with other like-minded boaters, show off classic boat restoration projects and locate needed classic boat parts like gauges, deck hardware and steering wheels. Here, you can meet up with those talented folks from the restoration shops and upholstery services or just get a little advice on how to do it yourself.

Since dock space is usually limited and volunteers have many last minute duties, it is advisable to register well in advance if you plan to bring your boat.
