Nice boat. Handled nicely, rode nicely. Shuda kept it, dammit!

Very nice, Richard. But over time, it'd probably be clapped out by now..

But it looks great while it was young!


It wasn't exactly young then. I think it was a 1984 or 1985 and that
picture was probably taken in 2002 or 2003 shortly after I bought it..
Actually, the image I posted to Photobucket is a scan of a picture I have.

My brother ended up selling it about five years ago to another guy I
know. He's still using it every summer and it's still going strong.

When I bought it the engines only had a couple hundred hours on them. I
am sure the hours today are well north of 1000.

What you need is a boat that will run on a couple horsepower. Put a
treadmill in and bring a couple of the wife's pets, and let them power the
boat. Get some use out of the manure manufacturers. ;)
