Place: Meet at the Harrison, Idaho docks at 11:00 am, start the cruise at 12:00. There is a ramp and fuel at the docks as well.
Activity: We will cruise up the Coeur D' Alene and pop into the various lakes. At some point just motor up the river!
Food: We will return to Harrison and have dinner at One Shot Charlie’s.
Cost: Nothing except for ramp fee’s and fuel
This will be a great way to cap off a great summer. Just a great relaxing cruise!

2024 Sandpoint Boat Show
Sandpoint, Idaho 👀
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.

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.

History of Inland Empire Antique & Classic Boat Society
The Inland Empire ACBS was started from members who were already members of other chapters in the northwest. We realized there was a core group of members and even more to be added in northern Idaho and eastern Washington, the group petitioned to be recognized as an official chapter in 2000. 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). Inland Empire ACBS also posts a newsletter called The Scuttlebutt and the Trading Dock. Third issue of the Inland Scuttlebutt Summer of 2001. Click to view.
