This is great!

My first boat was a 1964 Lone Star 14' fiberglass boat with all the interior ripped out for a couple swivel fishing seats and a 10 HP outboard on the back, tiller driven of course. Told my newly wedded wife at the time it was all I wanted, just something to get me out on the water to fish. Heh within months I had given to me a 40 HP Johnson sea horse outboard of about the same vintage. A few weeks later I had spent 3 times what it was worth to get it running but figured with all that "power" I had a poor man's cigarette boat. laughable at best, that darn boat cost me more money than I care to disclose. Oh was that thing pathetic and a piece of junk, but like a first car you gotta start somewhere. Makes me really appreciate what I have now. Only thing missing is a nice little camp for me to park it in front of. If only I could find one of them cheap I'd be golden!
