Fontana, WI – 10/01/23 – Streblow Custom Boats, a premier name in custom wooden boat craftsmanship, proudly sponsored the two-day Geneva Lakes Antique & Classic Boat Show on September 23rd and 24th, 2023. The event, held at the scenic Abbey Resort’s harbor in Fontana, Wisconsin, showcased a spectacular display of antique and classic wooden boats, drawing enthusiasts from far and wide. The weather was perfect, and the turnout exceeded our expectations, with both days of the event packed with visitors.

Ed Cox, the owner of Streblow Custom Boats, expressed his delight, saying, “We’re thrilled to have been part of the Geneva Lakes Boat Show. It was amazing to see so many people come together to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of these timeless vessels.”

Streblow Custom Boats made a splash at the event by offering free boat rides on their handcrafted custom wooden boats throughout the weekend. The rides were a tremendous hit, providing attendees with a unique and memorable experience on Lake Geneva.

Ryan Cox, son of Ed Cox and a key participant in the event, shared, “Watching people enjoy the thrill of riding in a Streblow boat was incredibly rewarding. We’re passionate about sharing the joy of boating, and the positive feedback from attendees was heartening.”

The success of the Geneva Lakes Boat Show has ignited excitement for next year’s 100 Year Centennial Celebration of Fontana, WI. Streblow Custom Boats is committed to making the event even grander, commemorating the village’s incorporation in 1924. Plans are already underway to elevate the celebration and create an unforgettable experience for boating enthusiasts and the Fontana community.
