My Very first boat was a $49.00 Chris Craft wooden pram. I enjoyed it so much, and it took me to enjoy many a much larger ships that includes our very own M/S Mount Washington, and also Our USS Hazelwood that my older brother Mel served in Our Navy on.

Getting back to the very little pram, it was about a 1/2 horse trfour ore powered craft, " could be disputed over here", Noth'in but pure fun though!
