I had a one-cylinder Champion 4.2 outboard. Gotta watch that spark plug when reversing!

Well on his way to earning his 3rd Stripe....he just turned 2.

My parents had a boat before me. I grew up loving it. Had a 13' Whaler at 12, which is in the garage now awaiting a cleanup for him. We also belong to a local boat club where I grew up swimming and sailing which turned into racing.
