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.

This reminds me - About four years ago when my Paw was dieing of cancer
we got out the old 8mm silent movie projector he had from the 50's. It
was color which was pretty hi-teck for it's day. Well we watched lots of
those old reels. most of them followed us growing up going to different
lakes around Missouri.

His little stailess steel fishing boat. The old 7.5 Evinrude and our
first speed boat, a 1970 trihull made by a company called Beachcraft. It
had a 165 merc. Man he was proud of that boat.

Thanks for bringing that memory back.
