Hey Steve, what was the boat that you use to watch come in and out of the harbor as a kid wishing to own one day?

Saw this Video and had to laugh at how much has changed and hasn’t changed. I miss my Mullet !!!

Hey J, good old Allez Vite, lived on lake Mac back around 1989 when she was brand new and Pete used to come in that lake for fuel. Hope all is well!

Ratman, I enjoy that boat chase in Miami Vice. Nothing like seeing two classic Scarabs.

Water is my peace in life. In it and on it. Liquid and frozen. I grew up on it (summers/weekends), drove to it all the time as a young adult, and have been living a few hundred yards away from it as an adult.

No matter what happens in my overworked / hectic life, I have water.

I will have my ashes spread on it.

Oh.........I bleed Chevy V8's..cars/ street racing /drag racing / boats....so...we know my choice of power. Wish my snowmobiles sounded the same. LOL.
