1988 20ft Larson..Had it for 4 years..loved that boat

 

Second

Could not find photo of first boat, 1955 20 Lyman with 135 hp. chrysler in line six.
But here is second: 1963 24' Chris Craft Sea Skiff single 185 hp CC You will have to excuse the photo, taken before digital camara's.

 

Wow . A friend still has an old Chris just like that...same color scheme too. His has a 300/327 Chevy.

 

1968 Correct Craft Mustang. 15 feet long with a 289 Ford. What a gas we had on that boat.

 

BRS, I love the cragars on the trailer, that brings back memories LOL
first boat 1969 stephens drag boat, friend of mine and I bought it together.
had a real wild 454 but I ended up trading for other things and got out of it, then I bought the baja

I never got a picture of it, at least one I can find, but my FIRST boat was a 79 Glastron GT 150. Bought it for $400 with a trailer and needing a motor. I bought another boat that had a 90 HP merc on it for the motor. Put them together and ran it. Was fun for a summer.....that was about 16 years ago.

 

I'm still working on it... Next summer :crossfingers:

 

I was 12. It was (and is !!! I still have it after over 30 years!) a 1956 14' Crestliner with a closed bow. In my teenage-years, I put a 35hp Johnson on the back (that weighed more than I did) & was 'clocked' (pre-GPS) at 38 MPH by a friend in his Hydrastream. :laugher:
I'll dig out a photo & scan it some night but here's an ad slick....notice that 30 HP was the max; somehow I missed that in the fine-print! :winker:

Not my first boat, but this is the first one that I built from scratch about 20 years ago.
It's still standing in the garage corner waiting for a future grandkid !

 

1st boat at age 27, a 1994 18' Sea ray Bow Rider with a 350, 2nd boat, at age 35, a 1996 22' Wellcraft Scarab with a 454, later to be a 502...scary...sold it. age 37, 2001 26' Sonic Prowler with a 496HO,not as fast as the Scarab, but my girl can use the enclosed head in the middle of a 25 boat raft up and not loose any cool points. , plus I gain a few from her. :smile1: But then again she has a 1996 26' Scarab with a super charged 502 that whoops my butt, and its her first boat at age........did ya really think I was gonna tell ya? :sun1:

 

Not the 1st one bought with my $$, but it was given to me at age 12.

1st boat I bought with my own cash... 96 Baja Islander w/454 tied to a bravo. Still have her, still payin for her...


1st boat I could call my own was a little Toy my brother, father and I found (dad paid) 77 Browning Aerocraft Mustang 18 foot trihull. THAT BOAT WAS A BLAST. We had to convince mom that our 25 foot Ray was too heavy to tow thru the mountains to Maine, it worked, we got our little boat. (We would have had no problem getting the Ray to Maine, but dont tell her that). I was around 16 at the time.


1st boat I ever rode in / drove was my parents old seventy something dixie, I was two weeks old and that is the worst thing they could have done to me. Every time I get paid I spend it on my boat. NO MONEY IN THE BANK. ITS ALL THEIR FAULT

 

24 and still have it. Was a friend's 85 Nova. Still an 85, but a little paint (whole boat) and some carpet (same amount) sure did work wonders.

 

1st boat my parents bought for my bro and I when I was 14 I believe. It was a 12' DeSilva C&D Class raceboat. V-bottom w/ 40hp Merc short shaft w/ 2 blade stainless prop. Deadman's throttle. It was a lot of fun. Did about 60mph according to a 22 Pachanga that I ran side by side with. I have to find pics.

2nd what a 18.5' Beachcomber flat bottom(v-bottom) jetboat I bought when I was 19. 460 Ford, Berkeley Pump. Ran like 70 until my brother popped the motor and I had to sell it for peanuts.

Then got into jetskis for many years. Had several of those.

3rd was 97 Seadoo Speedster that I owned last summer. Man, was that a blast.

Current is 30 Spectre that I'm trying to sell to look for next boat.

 

Here is my first boat. 89 Donzi 21' with an OMC Small block and a Cobra outdrive

 

Here is another picture

 

Yamaha LS2000

Our First Boat,

We absolutely love it, and I hate the thoughts of parting with it, but with the little one on the way….

Maybe we can move up to something worthy of the company around here when the little one grows a bit...

 

First power boat.

I had a hobie for a while and various other small sail boats...

Its for sale if anyone is interested.....

 

1994 Regal Rush Jet Boat, 14'6" with a 90 horse Merc Sportjet.

I was 30 years old, and getting divorced, had to get to the lake cheap.

Had it for about 6 months, sold it, and bought a 19' Searay cuddy, sold that one for a $2000 profit after only using it once, and bought a 1974 Checkmate MX-15, restored that and sold it.

Moved to FL, and bought a 28 foot Rinker Cruiser from Cuda, I had big plans of cruising the Keys.......Never had time, so I traded it for current boat, 1992 Wellcraft 232 Eclipse. The Wellcraft is for sale at Best Offer, if anyone needs an inexpensive V-8 powerboat.

Here is the Jetboat

 

1986 Rinker
