Grew up on 13' whaler and a V20 Wellcraft.
Truthfully it was kind of this website that drove me to my CIG. I was researching boats thinking of buying a small cruiser type boat (25 Sea Ray or so) and found this site - started rummaging around and realized I needed a Go-Fast. After weeks/months of searching the classifieds I realized what I wanted. Bought the CIG and am hooked.

1986 21 ft Checkmate Enticer.260 hp 350 with an Alpha.My old boss bought it brand new,I got to buff and wax it every Friday,then watch him pull away.Clean it Monday morning,and listen to what a great weekend he had.What a dick! I bought it around 91,beat the livin' chit out off it.Ran in the ocean every weekend,weather and conditions never mattered.My buddies accepted the fact that stuffing a boat was normal.Great time for sure.
