New Boat (Jun 08)

Got a new boat, Mom and Dad's fault. They had boats when we were young and got me hooked. I would rather go out in a boat than most anything else. FYI, taking after Frank Roth, this is a strict no Beer Boat. Not new it is 20 years old, but new to us. It is a 19 foot 1988 Saturn 2 Mach 1. 5.0L v8 inboard outdrive. Went all day on 10 gallons of gas, so I guess it isn't too bad. It does have a 30 gallon tank. Interior was totally redone two years ago. Trailer is excellent. Easy to pull with two axels. It is a fast boat, but Norma doesn't allow us to go over 25 mph, PERIOD! She gets scared. I had it up to 40 mph once before I got in trouble, so I know it is at least fast enough. I like it, we can fish, ski, tube, wake board whatever. For what it has cost us in the last years renting boats we already paid for one. Bought it off Criagslist.com. Price was right, paid cash, was really looking for a cheap 14' Jon Boat fishing boat when I saw this one. Norma and I really enjoy how our son Donald spends most of his free time with his parents. Makes it all worth it.
