WHAT boat started it all for you?
#21
1986 21 ft Checkmate Enticer.260 hp 350 with an Alpha.My old boss bought it brand new,I got to buff and wax it every Friday,then watch him pull away.Clean it Monday morning,and listen to what a great weekend he had.What a dick! I bought it around 91,beat the livin' chit out off it.Ran in the ocean every weekend,weather and conditions never mattered.My buddies accepted the fact that stuffing a boat was normal.
Great time for sure.

14 ' jon boat, 15' Bassmate with 40 Mariner both owned by dad. Then I took the plunge and bought a Thoroughbred with twin modded 260s'. Now a 25' Talon with twin promaxes. I thought custom Harleys were an expensive hobby!

What got me going was my mom's cousin's 18'. I have no idea what make or model it was. A mid or late 70's thing, it had a 427 chevy, ran 60-65 mph, was fun as phuck, and to boot, really dirty, ugly, orange with dry to the tips exhaust and named "The Swine".
My own was a 16' Fletcher from '89 that got a 150XR2 bolted on, went 60'ish mph. I came across this boat again earlier this spring, and thougt about buying her back, as some may remember. Upon closer inspection, found out she was completly rotten in the transom and rear bottom. Man that hurt. She gave me and my friends some great summers, and was a good fun boat.
