What did everyone have before what you have now. What did you start with have in the middle and now. And what's you next boat going to be.

I started with a 98' Sea Ray 180 Bow Rider had it from 02'-05'
Now I have a 03' Rinker 232 Cativa, bought it in 05'
Hoping for a 288 Sun MCOB

Previous: 1992 Chris Craft 208, 5.0L OMC Cobra, 1994-2000.

Current: 1998 24 Superboat, 2001-present.

Next: I'm thinking about a Superboat Y2K 30', 30 Activator, 29 Kryptonite, 29 Warlock.

I want a FAST 30ish single engine boat.

I also owned a 18' Sutphen w/o power that I never got the title for, so I returned it and I ended up losing my $500.

Going back to my youth, I had a home built plywood craft, which I sold for a profit before it ever saw water! I guess I have always had this profit obsession!

Between then and about 10 years ago, I moved more toward airplanes, had a couple of them.

Raised 4 kids, sent them through college, married them all off, divorced a couple wives and then got back into boats again when I bought my 4th house, this one on the water.

Here is the first boat at that time was a 1988 Galaxy.
