I used this logic to convince my wife a boat was a good way for the
family to have fun together. *Our youngest still loves to invite her
friends up for a day on the lake.

I thought the video was very well done.
There isn't an ounce of dialogue, but as an old guy reviews the
happiest and most significant moments in his life it's interesting how
