I was 2 when my Dad started racing his Shadow Cats. I still have the 10' Cougar Cub of his race boat.

Sometimes in the late 80's their was a 10 or 12 meter Fountain Called "Truckin" that I really likes. I was young so not know what the size was, but I think it was a 12 meter. I was crazy about Fountains for all of my youth. Since then I have been bitten by the Cigarette bug and I won't be happy with a boat until I owe one.

Va Voom in clear lake
got my dad started in the 80's and he bought a 36 cigarette
War Party 47 Apache
and Gone Again 32 skater. they were all hometown boats and I worked at the waterfront as a teenager just hoping to get a glimpse of an offshore. I never could figure the people out that didn't even look when these rigs floated by. I'll do almost anything as long as it's out on the water.

sometime around 76-77, I walked outside and saw a 27'? cig, yellow and red with big "inferno" graffix on the side or something to that effect..it was a long time ago, that was in toledo....

:eek: :D

For me it was when I was about 9-10yrs old in upstate NY on lake ontario,at my parents lake house.I believe it was a late 80's early 90's Black and Grey Wellcraft Scarab named "Obsession"........Ironically that boat started my Obsession.......:D anyone ever heard that boat...

This one!, on FreezeFrame 91' Apache review, the sound of those 1000hp Mercs, hmmmm :evilb:

these are great keep em coming

I was 5 and we were headed out in our Chris Craft cruiser for my first time ever on Grand Lake. On the way out of the cove we passed a big Scarab on a lift called "Think Rich". Coolest thing I'd ever seen.

LOTO when I was 13 or 14. Family vacation, and I was a complete nut for standup jet skis (still am!). We had rented a 550SX and I was out playing when an all red Fountain ICBM cruised in to get some gas. I was instantly in love. Bought my all-red Fountain at LOTO 16 years later!
