My first boat was a sea doo xp if that counts. My first and current boat is my 10 meter. I always love when people ask me about the boat and I tell them its my first boat. When they give me a weird look i say I had a sea doo before this.

First (only) boat was a 2002 Baja 302 w/ 496 HO's. Had just turned 27. Sold it after joining the ANG in Toledo, Ohio and will be looking to purchase when my training finishes up this summer. Spend most of our time up at PIB.

My first was this 1970 16' Donzi back in 1972. One ride was all I needed to become addicted to powerboats. 
Fifteen + powerboats later still love them.
