1947 Greavette Custom Runabout named No Golf Today

No Golf Today is owned by Moss Cartwright who is a member of the Blackhawk Chapter, Michigan Chapter, and Sunnyland Chapter. Her home port is White Pigeon, Michigan.

This is the information supplied to us by Moss Cartwright about this 1947 Greavette 19 ft Custom Runabout:

No Golf Today was built in Gravenhurst, Ontario in 1947 as a custom runabout. Unfortunately two days after the boat was restored…it sank! I struggled most of the day to get it back on the trailer. Watching this activity from the dock, an Amish woman walked up and said that if the boat was fiberglass, this would not have happened….leaving me to ponder the irony of this statement and the challenge of my day! One year later the boat was totally restored by Ramsey Brothers Restoration of Toledo, Ohio. T
he boat is used about 50 hours each summer by family and friends..water-skiing, tubing or just enjoying the one of a kind spin around the lake.

The boat is restored back to original except the engine (I wanted a hot rod)  so it has a 350ci crusader .  we bought the boat in 2005, found it in bad shape in north Carolina.  We have had a lot of fun taking the boat back to lake Muskoka  and running thru the lakes putting on about 100 miles in a day..

The calendar pin-up? No Golf Today is the featured glamor boat on March in the Classic Boating Calendar.
