Can't compete with the below craft. Years ago,, we lived in the country and had a rather nice sized pond.I have always loved old boats, and driving around one day, came across a Chris-Craft for sale.
Bought it, put it on the pond, got it running, and had a great time. Most thought I was nuts, a boat like that on a small pond, but I liked it.
We had a front screened in porch, and in the evening I would take the boat out a bit, anchor it, turn the running lights on, and be in heaven.
The kids loved it, I could take a wide swing, get close to shore, take a hard to port, and create great waves for the swimmers.
Then, one day ............... I decided to re-finish her, stripped all the metal off .......... it ended up in a back yard ...........ruined ...................... ended up, giving her away.
Same boat now, about the same condition as she was before .............. about five thousand.......
You're supposed to live and learn, I don't think I ever have ...............
