14' Meyers Aluminum fishing boat w/ 9hp Johnson. Had it in College to fish on all the man made lakes at State parks in Southern Ohio, man what fun times those were.

My first was this 1970 16' Donzi back in 1972. One ride was all I needed to become addicted to powerboats.
Fifteen + powerboats later still love them.
