Title: 30 Years Old!
Post by: Too Stroked on August 23, 2022, 11:03:56 AM
Well guys, my boat turned 30 years old this year. Although the motor is new (2020), the rest of the boat - other than the blue panels on the deck - are 100% original never buffed gelcoat. What do you think? This was last weekend on Lake Ontario near our house. Make sure you click in the pics to get them full screen.

Not knowing anything about boats aside from they’re supposed to float, I can tell you I would never guess that thing is 30 years old!

Looks great!  One of these days I'm going to get a ride in that beautiful boat.

Very sharp looking boat! Almost makes we want to waste a bunch of money on a boat again and then I come to my senses,

I will do my best to make that happen - but only if I get a ride in yours!

Tom, that is some sexy chit....the boat I am referring to. 

Holy crap, that is a lot of engine for a boat that size. I suspect that is an effortless ride for that boat and getting to easy cruise is super fast and easy.   

Your significant other....does she have vision issues by chance?    I mean she knows what you look like right?    LOL
Like all of us you out punted your coverage.   Well done.

That water looks amazing!!!

:uugly:

Yes, I believe my wife must have some vision issues, but on the other hand, after some M101 on a wool pad on the rotary, I look a lot better. I do believe that she's a sucker for a large outboard though ...

As for the water, yes Lake Ontario can be pretty clear and on the day we took these pictures, it was absolutely stellar. We're kind of spoiled having such a nice lake only 400' from our house.
