Guys out there with 20ft+ boats in their early 20's? I shocked some friends and boat owners when I made good on my threat to get one, a 1981 Formula 233LS Thunderbird. What else do you guys have???

At 20 I had a 29 Fountain. 22 I bought a 35 fountain, 24 I bought my first Black Thunder 43, then a couple others... 
Now Im 27 and have a different Black Thunder but still love boating just as much. Wish i would have known then what i do now. Just continually learn about boats and listen to what others have done.

Job - At age 19 my father secured an interview for me with a Class 1 railroad as a laborer. I was hired and for the next year i swung a sledge and drove spikes into rail ties (sucked
). I then transfered to the transportation side of the company and became a locomotive engineer for the next 4 years. After that, i was hired to be a designated supt. of loco. engineers. Now i just took a promotion to K.C. to work in intermodal logistics for my company. Good pay but not much of a home life....
