 2.  73 Eliminator Sprint 18' (new home of the MIGHTY BBF) , Berkeley jet.

I guess the good thing is, my sold list is much smaller than the still gots list ;), I would need 40 acres of dirt to keep em all, hell, my neighbors don't even have enough space >:D

BTW, this does not count the boats I sold/bought through the shop (about 30)

Dad and a buddy bought an 18 ft Horizon in 1976 that I bought out my Dad's half of in 1980.  It was a SBC 350 with a polished crossram and a corvette cam.  After 8 years we dropped in a 400 SBC and we have been running it ever since.

In 2006 I bought the boat in my avatar.   '73 Wriedt  23.5 ft.  455/Berk

24 boats, one wife. I bet there are some guys here wondering if she has a sister! My wife enjoys the fact I like my Taylor SJ. But you have a winner. Is she into speed. Mine won't get in the jet. But I have other ladies who will. Haha.

Yea, it's a lot of boats, but I've been at it since 1970--38 years. If Boost can keep his pace up for that long, he'll be up in the 300 range. My son, Andrew has had three of them for himself--I only counted them because, you know, Dad always pays. Besides, by June I should be down to my cruiser, the little Sanger project, and the pontoon boat for the wife. Note to Andrew--now that you're hooked, pay your own way.

You're right!  :screwy: Riverdad keeps telling me to stop the nonsense and buy a gullwing, and I KNOW if I do, I'll be hooked like Boost and Nate! (Wild rides, both of them!).

As it is, looking at a tunnel SST right now. We'll see, lol. I've got a lifetime of catching up to do to even come close to the experiences you guys have. Having fun taking my life in my own hands at the moment though! >:D
