First boat of my own was a 146 Fiberglass Lincoln canoe, gave that boat to a a friend of mine about 5 years ago.

First motor boat was a 1989 Sunbird SPL 150 with a 48 Evenrude outboard, had to replace the entire interior, new carpet and seats. I remember the first time we went out in it and after swimming the carpet got a little wet and our feet were covered in this brown water substance, we took the carpet out that weekend and had some new on order.

We took that boat all over (the wife and I, we were 19 and 20 respectfully) We got a bunch of friends together and headed up to Suncook Lake to a family friends camp, we were going water skiing. My buddy who was the ace jumped in first, with five in the boat. You all know where this is going, after trying all different configurations of people in the bow, all we amounted to was dragging my buddy around the cove, not even getting on plane. What a laugh we had that night around the campfire, me and my big new boat!
