I wish I were in your class - I don't have a performance boat but sure enjoy going to Lake Michigan and hitting the waves!

Docking a twin engine boat at a busy marina on a river with cross currents, sliding right up to the dock solo, cutting the engines and jumping on the dock as the boat is still moving, throwing on the dock lines and heading to the bar without even looking back with a little smug smile on your face.

After backing it in at the docks at a popular lunch and watering hole, drawing a small crowd, then walking into the bar area and getting the looks from the bacherette party and reading their lips "ooo there he is, the guy with the boat". Give them a nice smile, then seeing their disappointment when my wife comes up behind me.

Everything....Paying for fuel, running all the fuel out, airtime, docking, compliments, scaring friends who think they are tough guys, smile on wife's face, smile on my face, washing it, polishing it, tuning it, fixing it....should I continue...

When I had my Whippled 271 Fastech and my wife driving blew off a 28 Checkmate with a couple young guys in it. They claimed it was a 75 mph boat.

I just get the feeling of being so blessed to be able to do something that most will NEVER get to experience. I don't want to say lucky because it isn't luck. It was a dream that didn't come easy!

Day you buy it.
Day you sell it.

- Planning your answer to "How fast is it, How many gallons, What do you do for a living, Is this a Cigar boat, my buddies cousins boat goes....."
- Taking people out for the first time, watching their reactions, and then telling them now your going to actually go fast
- Firing the engines at the ramp when your the only performance boat and everyone stops in their tracks
- Most important is the feeling of major accomplishment with my wife at my side enjoying every minute of it
