2024 Sandpoint Boat Show

Sandpoint, Idaho ðŸ‘€

The Sandpoint show shaped up to be one of the best ever! We had our first 100-year-old entry in the show. BOAT, not participant! We were excited to host a small flotilla of IEACBS member Carlo Ferreira’s historical boats of Dodge Boat Company heritage.

Election Day

I hope that you had a good boating season and have your fleet ready for winter.  

The Inland Empire Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society is busy preparing for next year and the years to follow.  Our club is very healthy.  2024 was a successful year for us with four great boat shows and many other boating activities attended by a record number of members. Now is a great time to volunteer some of your time to be more involved with this great group of people that share your passion.  

In the coming month we will be putting together a ballot to elect a new Board of Directors, a secretary, a treasurer, Vice president and President.  If you are interested in volunteering for any of these positions or would like to volunteer in a different way, please reach out to me.  

Thanks

Wes Yandt

All About Us

Inland Empire ACBS was started from members who were already members of other chapters in the northwest.  We realized there was a core of members and even more to be added in northern Idaho and eastern Washington, a group petitioned to be recognized as a chapter in 2000. Inland Empire Chapter is still part of the northwest group of chapters (Columbia Willamette, Pacific Northwest, Big Sky and Okanagan Chapters) and we coordinate our events throughout the summer so that there is always a near-by boat show with no overlapping conflicts. 

By now, Inland Empire members come from far and wide, as do event participants, just to be in the beautiful scenery and in the clear lakes with their vintage boats.

Inland Empire Chapter is still part of the northwest group of chapters (Columbia Willamette, Pacific Northwest, Big Sky and Okanagan Chapters). The Inland Empire ACBS has 120 members as of the winter of 2024 and hosts three boat shows during the summer (Sandpoint Boat Show, Coeur D' Alene Festival, and Dry Rot Boat Show at Priest Lake).
