Nostalgia

I was buying fireworks at this parking lot when I spotted this boat out by the stand. What memories this image brings, however, ours was more of a disco orange color and later instead of brown and later it was closer to fire engine red. Even the trailer is the same. Notice the flat bottom on that boat. That made it super bouncy on the lake. Kidney belt anyone?




Take a look at the inside. We had an "eight ball" gear shift knob and our pedal had an outline of a bare foot. AWESOME.







See that? That is not a propellor, that was a jet boat and there was lots of bubbles coming out of there. Not the smoothest skiing to go behind, but it still was fun. You might notice the small bump where the engine was. A Chevy 454 that was so loud that we were always noticed. We even went fishing with this boat once. No trolling motor needed. Did we catch anything you ask, well no. guess that proves that fish are scared of loud noises. I think the other fisherman already knew that and were very glad that we left.
