My 1st boat was purchased used in 1975 -- it was a 1969 Carlson/Glastron Challenger with a Merc 115 hp ---in 1978 I saved enough money to buy a new Merc 1500xs

I think it was a 12' (approx) Sea Nymph aluminum with a 5.5 Johnson.

Year? I never will tell, but JFK was prez.

Mercury_Challenger

First boat was a 17 foot reinell, about 20 years back, parents dumped it on me. First offshore performer was also owned by my parents and kept at the coast, 38 fountain. It was sold years back when they retired. I recently sold my last performer (if you really wanna call it that, I guess it depends on what you like) was a chris craft stinger with a 502. Currently looking another project offshore boat, one day I will find it........but for the lake here I run a sea-doo challenger with the 240 mercury sport jet. Decent play toy for the lake, nothing to write home about, but a good overall family boat loaded up with options. Looking to do a scarab this winter or a 27 fountain fever, miss my power and top end, but I can still get around the docks.
