Can anyone ID what brand of boat in the "ALL SUMMER LONG" video? It's a classic wood boat! I told a friend it looks like a Chris Craft.
Any thoughts?

it is a beautiful boat, it is a Grand-Craft Chris Craft it is a reproduction boat made in 2003 in Holland Michigan (Kid's) home state. I love those classic Mahogany boats, the wood is great looking and feels warm, unlike fiberglass...

Well I was half right..LOL. I worked for a gentlemen in my high school days that kept a 45 ft yacht at Portage De Sioux. His friend had a Chris Craft 40ft yacht that was all wood. Absolutely beautiful! The wood work on that video looked similar. Thanks for your input InIt!
PS. I have been to Holland, Michigan delivering to the DQ on the shores of Lake Michigan. Very very nice area.

That youtube video is a bite off of another flick. The actual background music is a combination of Warren Zevon's "Werewolves Of London" and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" according to the info I have found on it.

Swampman- I grew up on the Delta of the Sacramento River in CA and got to see the exact kind of boats you are talking about. All wood, beautiful machines! I have always had a liking for wood boats, but boy are they pricey!

Just curious as to where ya saw/heard that? I can't find anything that says he owns it... I could deffinately see it being true tho, it is named Cowboy! (even tho he started out his career as a rapper...:rolleyes:)

Has some details about the boat - 2003 Grandcraft? made specially for Kid Rock.

You can tell this is an outdoors oriented board because nobody has brought up the dozen or so other items nice to look at in the video.

Back to the boat - Boy that boat can move smooth.

Cool video, and info, thanks!

As for the other eye candy, you can go to a lake any summer day and see that, but you probably won't see any nice boats like that out there! It is a good thing those girls don't get paid for there brains... did you hear the hostess' "a few or 2 times" ?
