Lake Houston Meet – July 17, 2021

Our annual summer meet for the Texas Chapter of the Antique Outboard Motor Club will be held on Saturday, July 17th from 8:00AM until 5:00PM.This one-day boating/sell/swap meet is on Lake Houston, a 14,000 acre reservoir and a mere 20 minute drive from downtown Houston.   The meet is held on the south eastern side of the lake at the Indian Shores Community Center.  This facility is a lake-lodge style place resting relaxfully on 1.5 acres of beautiful waterfront.  Features that provide an excellent site for our meet include an air conditioned clubhouse (with indoor restrooms); easy slope, double-wide boat ramp; picnic tables and shady trees.   A long pier and adjacent bulkheads provide for docking, but be sure and bring extra boat bumpers or cushions to protect your boat.

This event has turned into a great relaxing family meet.  Chapter member John Platou lives on the lake and will lead us on a boat parade.  Like always, make sure that you have the normal state-required safety gear on your boat along with your registration.

For lunch, we’ll be grilling up some great hot dogs with all the fixin’s for a nominal cost per person.

Anyone coming from out of town can make reservations for a reasonable cost at the Best Western Plus, a 15 minute drive from the event at: 281-852-5665. Mention that you are with the Antique Outboard Motor Club.  The Indian Shores Community Center does not have a formal address, but the nearest address(for GPS use) is directly next door at: 20719 Appaloosa, Crosby, Texas 77532.
