Man thanks guys make me want one. Haha but there aren't any plans for kids in our future unfortunately. Congrats RT930TURBO! I'm sure the apple won't fall to far from the tree! Sounds like you will make a great dad! And a cool dad with some bada$$ toys! ;-)

Thanks guys. As for the apple not falling far from the tree, I guess that means I have a little payback coming my way! 
But in all seriousness, I grew up around boating and have pictures on the boat at weeks old. Funny how the interest runs so deep. What have some of you done to make a HP boat kid friendly? Part of the 382 choice revolved around a Genny and AC, so he can be out of the heat and sun no matter what. Nice to have a cool quiet place at the sandbar.
I know AT Pat mentioned a rig he set up between the bolsters. Anyone else do something similar?

OH -- Sounds like you slipped one past the Goalie!!!
CONGRADULATIONS!!!
Like everyone else said - savor the moments - these kids grow up all to fast. Our son was born in May 1997 and now he is 6'2" 150lbs and our daughter was adopted in 2003- she just turned 11 Saturday. It seems like yesterday we brought this little hunks of protoplasm home and now they are turning into adults--- URGH!!!
I wish you all the best

Congratulations RT930turbo! My only advise is to slow down and wanting your boy to be on the sticks so fast. Enjoy each and everyday as it goes by way to fast as it is. My son just turned 15 and it seems like yesterday I brought him home from the hospital. Enjoy your bundle of joy, there is nothing on this world like having a child.
