We sold the Gun because we had babies and unlike others, I just found zero pleasure in boating with very small kids / babies. Now that the boys are 5 and 10 it's time to introduce them into the lifestyle and plant the seed. If I can extend that seed to their friends, well then long live offshore power boats!! I'm sure nearly everyone on here can recall the first time they saw and heard an offshore powerboat the first time and the immediate affect it had on them. Exposure to these boats is rare for small ones and can last a lifetime. If figure if my boats can turn out like the Burk boys after exposing them to these boats like Steve did, then they'll be juuuuuuuuuuust fine. It worked for our 25 y/o daughter. She loves fast boats so much she got engaged to a performance boat shop owner! LOL

And yes, hopefully this fall we can make it work out. You can always crash at our little beach hut if you need to.

Had a great weekend running around one of the local lakes. Boys had an absolute blast! Even towed them on a tube behind the Café. It worked but needs some fine tuning to get it right (longer line) lol. Both boys love driving the boat. Absolutely great weekend.
