Default What Was YOUR First Boat?

Just thought it would make for an interesting forum. From the perspective of a 16 year old...watching these guys with their MTIs and Outerlimits makes you wonder where they all started from. This way it'll give me a LITTLE hope that I can get up to that level one day lol SO....what was your first boat?

21 foot sea ray. With 350 mag. And a kick ass stereo. Lots of drunk nights on that boat.

1999 25' baja h2x. I hated that boat, It would beat you to death and didn't have bolster seats so that blew! Ran good, looked cool, and packed it with girls every weekend, so everything I just said is irrelevant. Lol

we had a formula 242ls with twin 350s and bolsters...running in the ocean definitely a little rough. The occasional smash off of a wave was not the best feeling in the world but it was a great "entry level" powerboat

My Dad had a 242 formula back in the day. I learned how to drive a boat while sitting on life jackets so I could see, I was about 10 yrs old. That boat was such a dog with a single 350, topping out at 40ish if I remember correctly.
