Bill Marriott has Riot in his boat house. I was giving a tour of the lake to a family friend who grew up on the lake. When I was showing him the new houses the Marriott's had build. He started to tell a story how he went to camp with a Marriott and they had a wooden boat called Riot. That they skied behind. Before he could finish the story I said hey look that wooden Boat there boathouse has the name Riot on the back. Sure enough it was the same boat...
