MWCBC
was originally formed in 1993 when a group of wooden boat enthusiasts
met for an afternoon of fun at a friend's beach. As usual, talk
turned to the boats and thus the club was born. The
first Antique and
Classic Boat Show consisted of a single rope attached to the Naples
Town Pier to which was tied a few of the friends' boats. In 2003
the club was officially chartered as a chapter of the Antique and
Classic Boat Society. The show generally features 30+ entries and grows in size and popularity
every year.
Mountainview Woodies Spring Cruise
Our 2025 Spring Cruise will be held on Saturday June 7, 2025 beginning
at 10:00 AM. This is our 11th Annual Spring Cruise.
We will be launching from the town ramp in Harrison, and ample trailer parking
will be available. We will take a casual tour down the lake stopping
for lunch at the Freedom Cafe where we will dine off their menu. RSVP is
requested so we can give the Freedom Cafe a headcount so they
know how many to set up and plan for if we can dine inside at that time. Please RSVP for this event by
emailing us with the count in your party. You won't want
to miss kicking off the season with us!

Mountainview Woodies 2025 Naples Boat Show
In the days leading up to the
Saturday show, additional events have also been held, including a Sebago Lake
tour and picnic, a reception followed by an antique boat parade, and a charity event
in which rides are given to children at Camp Sunshine on Sebago
Lake. Camp Sunshine is a retreat for children dealing
with major health issues, and the rides on the vintage boats
have proven to be very popular with the children and with the
participants alike. We hope to be able to do this event well into the future.
