My first boat was a 240 sport Baja with a 454 and alpha drive, went threw so many drives on that boat.

U.P. rules! Used to do a TON of sledding up there, man we had a blast.

89 Astro fish and ski 150 merc still have it very sturdy hull we were fishing out of it last weekend
Had it since it was new

Bought a 17' 1977 SportCraft bow rider in 1984 when I was 18. Mercruiser 4 banger 165-185 I think. Pulled it to the lake 2-3 times a week with my 1980 Z-28. We just welded a hitch on the gass tank. LMFAO. Couldn't see a thing in those GT style mirrors. Too bad this isn't a tow natzi thread. Those were the days.

We were stacking cheerleader kitty on board like cord wood. I finally married one of em.

This is my first love , does she look familiar ? 1974 Browning 15' 85hp rude swingin' a 19p stainless . Good God I'm getting ancient.....

My first boat (in my name only) Baja 20 Outlaw. It was a really fun boat and I still miss it sometimes.

14' Alcort Sunfish. Loved surfing 4' waves! (...and stuffing the bow)

A 19 foot Lone Star with 90hp Evinrude.

Number two was a 21ft Aluminum Maritime (1968) that had been raced but was converted into a marina work boat. The engine had been replaced with a Chrysler slant 6 and Chryser IO. Still had a ballast tank in the bow.

2006 bayliner 185BR 4.3 V6 .still have it i always try to sell it in the spring but end up not because it never fails that my other boats will break . first power boat was a 88 wellcraft nova spyder

1988 Baja 280 Sport twin 454 BBC's bravo drives, I was 19. My buddies & I made a million memories on that boat, always had a blast even getting arrested for drinking & boating.

Sold that got out of boats for a few years then bought my 31 Ocean Express Cat. Owning a boat is a long bumpy road for spending money on crazy stuff but it sure it fun!
