Last year, many of you remember the 1971 Apollo Hardtop that we had out on the Chain of Lakes. It was a very unique boat that got some serious attention. We pulled it out of Inland Harbor and got her back into running condition. We even called in the experts to have it detailed..
This was a very special boat for us. This was our first cruiser. The boat we had before it was a 24 foot pontoon, so this was a very nice step up the ladder. While we were moving up the ladder, we decided to become part of a real marina too. We slipped this beauty at Rustic Harbor where she was surrounded by friends. That was about the time she got her full decal kit too!
We had some great times on this ol' girl. You could find her out in the cove strung together with a bunch of other boats almost every weekend. Her hardtop was perfect for cannon balls, backflips, and sunbathing. She was a little weak in the motor department, so she rarely went full bore. She was usually the last to arrive.
We even made her the home office one day.
Well every good boat ride needs to end at some point. The time has come for this ol' girl to go out in style. Many boats decay in the back of Marinas, some sink at sea, and some are dropped into the landfill. This vessel will go for one more wild ride....
TRAILER RACING!!
Saturday June 5th
Rockford Speedway
7.00 pm
The BK Hardtop will be dragged around the track and smashed to bits in one of the wildest races you will ever see. If you have never seen a trailer race, it is a demolition derby race where all trucks have a trailer. The last one around the track WITH something still attached to his trailer ball, WINS!
Come on out and honor a legend!
See ya there!!
