Lows- are. I spent 15k on new motor and brand new custom interior for my boat didn get it finished till coast quard up in grand haven, then got it out in the water then a 53 carver thought I didn't need that boat any more. He smashed into it and broke a hole in it and smashed the other side.
Highs- that his insurance company paid out real well and I bought my new Powerquest and love it to death. And looking forword to tons of boating.

These are so, so good. Jason Johnson told me about this thread.
This time of year, there's not a ton going in the performance boating world (hence our highs and lows series). So this kind of stuff is beyond entertaining.
Please keep it coming.
