Miss America IX, the first boat in the world to exceed 100 mph, will be among the 150 boats on display at the Antique and Classic Boat Society (ACBS) Annual Meeting and International Boat Show.
Boats will be judged on the ACBS’ 100-point format, which factors in authenticity of restoration, quality of craftsmanship and extent of originality retained in the boat. Trophies will be presented prior to the exhibitors’ banquet Saturday evening, where winners of special non-judged awards and the People’s Choice Award will be named. A silent and live auction, with proceeds benefiting the ACBS scholarship fund, will be held at the exhibitors’ Friday evening dinner.
