Man thanks guys make me want one. Haha but there aren't any plans for kids in our future unfortunately. Congrats RT930TURBO! I'm sure the apple won't fall to far from the tree! Sounds like you will make a great dad! And a cool dad with some bada$$ toys! ;-)

Congrats! My son is going to be 21 in a month, and is making me a Grandfather. Best memories in my life involve him. Have fun!

Thanks guys. As for the apple not falling far from the tree, I guess that means I have a little payback coming my way!

But in all seriousness, I grew up around boating and have pictures on the boat at weeks old. Funny how the interest runs so deep. What have some of you done to make a HP boat kid friendly? Part of the 382 choice revolved around a Genny and AC, so he can be out of the heat and sun no matter what. Nice to have a cool quiet place at the sandbar.

I know AT Pat mentioned a rig he set up between the bolsters. Anyone else do something similar?

OH -- Sounds like you slipped one past the Goalie!!!

CONGRADULATIONS!!!

Like everyone else said - savor the moments - these kids grow up all to fast. Our son was born in May 1997 and now he is 6'2" 150lbs and our daughter was adopted in 2003- she just turned 11 Saturday. It seems like yesterday we brought this little hunks of protoplasm home and now they are turning into adults--- URGH!!!

I wish you all the best

On the sticks too fast?! Now wait a minute...

I rigged up a car seat. Bought seat belts at a junk yard and strapped her in! Plus we always had her seat with us if she would nap at lunch somewhere.
