Well, not mine, but it was mine at one time.

Years ago we had a little 17' Sailfish CC with an older 70 horse
Evinrude. It was a great boat, very stable and tracked perfectly.
The boat was a '93, but the engine was older ... I think an '87. When I
bought it, I had the powerhead completely rebuilt because it wasn't
running well.

I sold it after a couple of years to my older son's father-in-law for a
thousand bucks. He's been trailering it to Maine every summer for the
past 10 years or so and used it regularly for fishing on a lake up there.

Yesterday, he gave the boat, trailer and motor to my younger son (who
used to use it as a teenager). Still looks good and runs fine.
My son is all excited.

I always liked that boat. It is almost a copy of Boston Whaler's
original hull design, but for some reason is much more stable than a
Whaler. I sold it because we had purchased a new, 16' Whaler Dauntless.
The Sailfish is much more stable as a fishing platform.

So, what goes around, comes around.

Was that the one you went vertical in at the mouth of El Rio Norte?

That's the one. Came down so hard I hit my head on the stainless CC bar and
knocked me out for a sec or two.
