Our First boat in 2002 was a '91 Powerquest 230 Conquest.
Really loved that boat. Like PQ enough to upgrade to a 340 Vyper.

First boat was a 14' 1967 Mohawk with a 1981 50 hp Mercury, I was 14. We now have a 2004 Formula 31PC. I am a firefighter and am trying to figure a way to get the wife to let me go back to a go fast.

I am in my forties, My first boat was bought last year, it is a 1983ish fake Cigarette with a 502 and no mufflers of any kind. No three-footitis so far.

My first was a 8' waterlogged card table, one of those home made, plywood, flat bottom, round nose with a small cockpit you kneeled in. It would barely float. But it had a stick and a wheel with a 10hp Keikafer. It would go about 20 if I could get it running. I payed $50.00 for it when I was 14. Man, it was the chit.
