ive always been around boats. my father always had one. from a 19 bayliner to a 27 chapperal to a 30 carver to a 30 silverton. i grow up on the bayliner and the chapperal. and i always said i was going to buy a boat and i wanted a chapperal villian. (marina was a chap dealer) but then this guy bought a brand new scarab panther and that was it for me. then i screwed up and bought a 20 four winns liberator with an omc king cobra when i was 20. spent more money on the drive then i did the boat.

kid growing up in Ft Lauderdale I'm sure he will boat all his life.

I was that kid about 26 years ago, I am 29 now. I grew up on Lake Michigan from 6 months old and spent every summer weekend at the lake. Since I graduated from college I have had 3 performance boats and I am always shopping for the next one.

I know the feeling :cool:
I got hooked watching my dad test the boats at the marina
