Antique Boat Show & Auction
Join us from August 1st to 3rd, 2008, as we present the 44th edition of the country's oldest antique boat show. As always, the Museum campus will be full of beautiful antique and classic boats--the special twist for 2008 is a focus on boats of the 1950s. From automotive-style tailfins to new materials such as fiberglass and plywood, the 1950s were an exciting time for pleasure boating, and the 2008 Antique Boat Show and Auction will shine a spotlight on this memorable decade.

AUCTIONEach year the Antique Boat Show features an exciting auction where you can find everything from fully-restored boats to projects just waiting for you. It's also a great place to sell your antique or classic boat--where else can your boat be seen by more than 8000 potential buyers in just one weekend? The auction is conducted by Antique Boat America, and begins at 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 2nd.Consign a boat or preview the auction
