Tomahawk is a meet put on by the North Woods Chapter of the AOMCI. It has been referred to as the MINI Nationals of the AOMCI as it has such a large following.  

Every year the AOMCI has a national convention in different areas of the US. Tomahawk has just grown on its own to be a super meet. It is always the 1st weekend of August and runs from Wed through Saturday with a Banquet Saturday evening.  This is where the prizes are given out etc. 

Tomahawk is a very beautiful area of Wisconsin.  It is about 35 miles north of Wausau Wis and is in the heart of lake country.  Beautiful fir trees etc. It is about a 3 hour drive from the cities and just a very convenient place for anybody from the Northwest.

Tomahawk Notes 2002

If a person really likes motors, this is the place to find them. All the people were really nice there & there were some really nice boats also.  It was nice to see the hydro boats on the Wisconsin River, a nice setting.  You could spend a whole day there easily.  If you are looking for Mercury motors & others,  this is the place to be. ~  Dennis Matson

What a wonderful setting for a boat & motor show!   The show arena is  near an old airport runway that was perfect  for selling boats & motors. Right across the runway  was the Wisconsin River,  a great place to relax & watch the hydro races.  Although we only were there Friday, the trek from  Duluth was a  worthwhile one.  Besides admiring the show displays & looking at items for sale,  I enjoyed meeting the people that have been either part of the Retro Crestliner site or that own Crestliners: Dave & Linda Roxin, Jeff Dodge,  Leonard Polak, Bob Peterson & Bob Severson.   

At one of the sales booths,  we found some new, old stock windshields that viewers  may be interested in ( see Sellers page)  &  some Crestliners for sale,  one a 1959 Flying Crest is now listed on our Crestliners for Sale page.    

Thanks to Bob Dalle Ave , Tomahawk Mini Ntls organizer, for displaying our  Retro Crestliner cards at the show.   

Tomahawk participants,  please send any info or names that you would like to add to any of the photos I've included on this site.  Due to limited time, I was unable to record details & photographed just a sampling of all that was there.    

I hope  the photos  are good memories for those that attended & inspire more to attend next year.   (See info below  ) ~  Pamela Matson
