That's a big list there GT. You know I"m going to ask, just what did you do to total this one (8. 1984 Bahner 19' bubble deck w/468 BBC and Berkeley, totalled.) did you try to go rock crawling ?? $:-\$

My list is much smaller

, but I still have all of them.

1. 77 Lancer, 18', 460, Jacuzzi YJ.
2. 73 Eliminator Sprint 18' (new home of the MIGHTY BBF) , Berkeley jet.
3. 83 Eliminator Daytona 21', Mercury 300 OB.
4. 73 Eliminator flatbottom, 18', no motor, Casale V-drive, and what was a wood deck.
5. ?? Tahiti 18', gutted for parts and waiting for the chainsaw

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

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.

« **Reply #21 on:** December 11, 2008, 07:44:34 PM »

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.
