I'd love to say that I've been out in my boat a ton, but working at a marina, you get to drive a lot of boats. Unfortunately, mine is not one of them! The Progression's been out exactly 3 times. The first time was for the 29th annual Seneca Lake Battleship Run and I had about zero time to get it ready. I was rewarded with a V-5 motor when I fired it up. It later turned out to be a bad coil on #3, but we parked it and did the run in a friend's 37' Active Thunder instead. (Hey, it could have been worse right?) At least the second and third times out were with my (new to me) 8 year old grand son who's never been out in a fast boat or on a real lake before. He spend a ton of time on my lap driving and had the time of his life. Probably just like your kids! Have a great summer!

I’m gutted I never got to have a ride on her. I’m glad my boys got to go on it. I’m totally bummed we never got to sit in it in your driveway telling the girls that we’re just going to listen to this one last song and we’ll be in. I miss you brother. Hope all is well.

I'll do my best to resurrect this old thread. Great job on the restoration! Boat looks awesome!
I have a couple questions for you about a scout I am looking at, but your inbox is full.
