Awesome! I was a "river rat", growing up on the Ohio River most of my life. I was running a boat by the time I was 6 or 8 years old. In college I had, forgive me if I don't recall the correct verbiage, a 100 ton Masters license. At least I think that is what the USCG called it. I had to take classes and pass a navigating and written exam. I was technically a deck hand on a paddle wheeler we had here in Evansville that was chartered on weekends and made regular sight seeing trips during the day time. It was literally built on a full sized barge tray and was 3 stories tall with only the paddle wheel for propulsion. It SUCKED to pilot it in any wind!!! All it had was a freaking little 4 cyl diesel. It was severely underpowered and some trips were extended by up to 2 or 3 hours if I had to fight the wind and current on a round trip charter.
I also always had a boat or two for recreation. When I thought I was good at skiing, I had a 20' MasterCraft. It was great for skiing, but not so good for other things. I have so many stories about boating I could tell that it would take weeks. I had a '78 (I think that's the right year) Glastron Carlson jet boat that I bought with a blown engine. I put in a 454 GM with a Weiand 671 blower on it. I could point that nozzle up to where it looked like it was shooting a jet of water a hundred yards or more. Unfortunately, screwing around trimming it up way too much like that caused me to have a blow-over. Fortunately I fell out of the boat, but when it landed upsided down and backwards running maybe 65 mph or more, it literally exploded into a million pieces when it hit the water. I feel very lucky to walk away from that. I never recovered any part of the boat, engine or Bravo outdrive. LOL, you sure could hose a skier right off his skis though!
My last "boat" was an '85 Sea Ray 'Sundancer' with two 5.7 liter engines in it. It was a nice boat, but nobody would confuse it with being a fast boat. I think it was like 31' long and was like a mid cabin type boat. We started a family when I had that boat and it had to go. I loved going out and just cruising in it. Gas was a lot less expensive then too. I think it ran maybe 50 or a little faster? That Glastron got me out of my "go fast boat" need. Many, many great memories; especially with the sound system I had in the boat.
Now I just have 5 Jet Skis. Out of the 5, one of them is "mine", and it's a Kawasaki Ultra 250 (factory supercharger) with remapped electronics so it puts out around 300 hp. That's fast enough for me being that it's only a 10' boat. They are fun, but sometimes I miss having a 'real' boat....except after running hard all day and filling up with fuel on the way home. I don't miss blowing a week's pay on fuel in a weekend. Anyway, GREAT looking boat!! Have fun!!!
