I boat on Manhasset Bay NY on Long Island....I own a 13' Mini Hawk but I am trying to sell it at the moment.
I haven't really had any opportunities to drive in anything major but my hammer's good enough for me. I've basically stolen it from my parents, the past two years I think my dads only driven twice. But he wants meant drive so, I have no problems with that. If only I had a way to get her in the water on my own, I'd be set!

I saw your mini hawk on here a few weeks ago, looks fun. I love the paint job on it.

Im sure you'll get the opportunity. If I ever get a bigger boat, you are welcome to come down and take a ride....but the boat I am looking at needs alot of work.
Where on the island are you? And thanks, I did alot of the work on the Mini Hawk myself...need it sold though as soon as I get back from vacation.

Nice area from what i've heard. How does the boat perform out on the water? BTW, if you know anyone who wants a boat let me know...i need to sell my boat once I get back to NY.

It's good enough for this area. Can't go out in the ocean unless it's pretty calm but that's alright. When you get on it, she'll do a good 65. And I'll keep an eye out for anyone looking to by a boat.

Go talk to your dad and tell him how much it would mean to you. I bet he finds a way to get you out.

+1. My parents didn't get along as I was growing up in high school or college. Dad & I went out a lot in the boat together. It gave us both a break and got to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.

Actually with my Dad, wife & good friend traveling in a truck now heading to pick up a new boat. Boat ownership will happen if you want it to happen. Keep working hard, stay focused, manage your income/expenses at your young age appropriately and never quit dreaming and saying "someday I'm gonna have one" Good luck!!!

I do my boating on the Great South Bay. My boat is only a Scarab Sport so it's nothing crazy, but you are welcome to jump on and spend a day cruising and having lunch at Kismet or Frank and Dicks with me and the wife. Everybody should get to enjoy that, life's too damn short.

Thanks everybody for your concern. Things are starting to smooth out so we'll see, maybe I'll get out on it at least once before the summer's over. If not, I may have to take you up on that offer frankenstein

And it's not necessarily a matter of whether or not my dad can take me out or not..he can, I just don't know if I wanna go with him at this point. He did offer to drop me and my mom off with the boat, and then we could go out, but then my mom doesn't trust me driving alone...but like I said, things are starting to get better so we'll see.

I really appreciate all the comments guys, thank you.
