Over 70 antique boats will cruise into Port<br />
Carling on Saturday, Aug. 13 for the<br />
<strong>Muskoka</strong> Lakes Association Boat Show, which<br />
has been running biennially since 1971.<br />
The theme of this year’s show is Curvaceous<br />
to celebrate the unique lines of <strong>Muskoka</strong>built<br />
boats, which feature ample flair under<br />
their bow and transoms that curve in as the<br />
decks narrow at the back of the boat. The<br />
poster boat is a very curvaceous 1937<br />
Greavette Streamliner called Curlew, which is<br />
double-ended, meaning it comes to a point<br />
at both ends.<br />
There is also a display of antique<br />
outboard motors presented by the Maple<br />
Leaf outboard motor club, and some<br />
outboard “sea fleas” built in the 1950<br />
traditions of small racing style boats.<br />
A casual show, attendees often get to chat<br />
with boat owners and learn about the boats<br />
and the families that own them. The show<br />
runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the locks.<br />
