Post my 1st uh, uh can't it was a B-liner and that is not an option unit I was converted to my SR, and loving it.
 
Here is our first.....'92 180 with 3.0L Alpha. Was a great starter boat. Bought her in 2003 and sold her in '07

18' Glasspar trihull with a 120 HP Mercruiser.. Beige and in much better shape than this, but since the company is so long gone, I thought I would supply a pix.

Looks like the guy couldn't find ONE MORE mailbox letter A to match the rest of the mailbox letters. Looks kinda like a ransom note :lol:
 
Which one the Dolphin or the Chris Craft?
 
It DOES look kinda angry.
 
Dolphin always look pissed... I assume they are happier before they get dragged into the boat.
 
This is not the first boat but it was my first Sea Ray and it was the first boat with the present wife. There were 3 boats prior to this one and 2 wives prior...ah hell. I'm not going down that road.


1987 S-24 Sorrento This was taken on Lake Mohave. in 1999..

He needs to dust the base.

You talking about the base on my boat? That's not dust... That boat was built many years ago by my father and he gave it to me a few months before he passed away... the finish on the base is old and needs to be redone... but I like it the way it is.

Weave. I don't have pics of my 1st boat, but I had the '91 version of that exact boat. I had the 4.3L though with a High 5 Prop. That thing was 60MPH boat with me alone. I think they throttled back on the HP for that small of size. If I wanted I could easily get out of the water.
I bought it when I was 23 about seven months after my first son was born, in the spring of '92. I wish I had pics.

Here's a video I've played here before of my Papa's boat. That was the first one I was on. This is the launching of it after my Papa and his twin brother built it. 1955

Very nice video, Todd. Was that in the Sound? I saw the name Ebb Tide I think but could not make out a hailing port. Looked like quite a boat. What ever happened to it?
