Now back to the coolest thing ever done in a boat...

Me driving my father's brand new 24' Pantera Special Edition in 1979 ( I was 14 years old), not so cool, but the 18' Donzi in the same picture was mine, that boat was an underwear dropper for girls in my college days, when I was Avalon and in Stone Harbor, now that was cool

I have been driving boats since age five so there are dozens to choose from lol but here's one from last year
I took some friends for a ride in the cat to clamdiggers its about 12 miles as the crow fly's from are marina on lake erie,they own a 38 fastech that runs mid 70's so on the way back I let her eat up to about 120 mph ,when we got back to the marine my buddys 8 year daughter says to her dad we need a faster boat........priceless. She was grins ear to ear the whole ride.

Many great days of boating, but one does stick out while on my dads cc we just got done scuba diving up in Maine out side our cove and George and Barbra Bush waving at us, yes plenty of secret service around.

One of the other crazy fun times of many. Met a girl at a party that was located on a long channel called seaton channel. Any way within minutes.... we were on my gkastron gt 160 heading out the channel to the bay and she was all over me so it was hard to drive . By the time we made it to the bay i just said scewit. Lets just drp anchore.. it was a beautiful moonlit night. She was naked and it was like we were out in the sun it was so bright. Ill never fotget that night.... i did forget her though. I was at the bar soon after and this girl im talking about keot looking at my and i was like. Who the hell is that. Lol..
