Well, I know I just turned 16 so there shouldn't be much of a story but here's how it went growing up with my boat crazy dad.
When I was about 5 my dad used to bring my older sister and I out for rides on the front of the Glen L he grew up with.
Then when I turned 6 or 7 my dad decided it was time to pass it to the next generation and give me the wheel. He bought me a 5hp Mariner to bomb around with.
When I was maybe 9 my dad heard of two racing hydros for sale so we picked those up. I immediately loved the red one because of its kick-a$$ paint job. (Usually just had the 9.9 on it. Put racing 15 on years later for kicks)
Next my dad bought me my first real race boat when I was 11. An ASH Bezoat with a racing 15 Erude.
Next we got a couple of CSH hydros. One of which is now for our 1957 Mark 30H.
After selling the red "Predator" and the Glen L we got a mini most for the lake when I was 14.
Then my dad surprised me with the voodoo when we pulled into the cottage driveway and I saw it sitting there. I had been looking for a voodoo for myself for about a month prior. I was 14.
When I became of age (15) to race OSY400 at the beginning of this season my dad bought another hydro for me to race.
Finally to end the list, we got Riley's Critch at the end of this season when I was still 15.
I just turned 16 last month so now I am finally of age to drive the T-boats. Looking forward to next season.
Maybe we can get a fast boat one day...
Ohh geez, that's enough about me.
