I don't have a pic of my first real boat (sears 12' gamefisher with a 15hp evinrude) so here is Dad's first "real" boat

My dad gave me an old wooden piece of crap that I glued and nailed back together when I was around 12 or 13. It sat in the back yard on blocks and I remember working on it everyday. I have no idea what ever happened to it, we moved away, it did not make the trip...probably sitting on the bottom of a river somewhere.
 
The one in my signature, took 12 years of convincing the wife:smt021:

Had the same boat. Color year etc...........I nearly sank it in 00' in lake ontario in 6' seas, my brother sank it 3 weeks later while tied to the dock :smt021. We then picked up the current 230. SB
 
14' Bayliner 50hp outboard, I learned how to ski behind this. We had a 100 lb German Shepherd that loved to go out with me. He would lay up on the bow taking the whole thing up, we got a reaction from everyone we passed.

2004 Four Winns 248 Vista.
Great boat. Great brand. Super service. Under 34 foot FW can't be beat in amenities and space utilization. Would buy a Four Winns again in a minute.
