so what's your reason for boating?

Because it's fun, pure and simple.

why'd you choose the boat you did?

First boat, because I was young, had the money, ended up being a
dissapointment. Old 1964 27' CC Cavalier, didn't know it was infested
with wood rot, and it fell a part after a couple seasons. It was a
blast while it lasted, but no real bang for the buck.

Second 1983 CC 169 Scorpion. It was a good deal, had a blast with it.
140 hp mercruiser 4 cyl. great for putting around a lake all day on no
gas. Small and cramped and doesn't handle rough water very well, but I
got it for a bargian and still have it. Took it out on June 30. still
runs and looks new. "well, almost"

3rd, 1977 23' Marquis cuddy. Got even a better deal on it than the
little CC. 350 chevy, plenty of power, plenty of room, doesn't do bad
on fuel, as long as you don't pile drive it all day. Cuddy is kind of
cramped, but nice ride, nice boat, Something worthy of taking a nice
river cruise in.

what's your best and worst trip?


Too much to list, in little time.
