Default 1st Boat

The very first boat was a little blue plastic job that is under the cottage to this day. Sunset Bob had one and posted several pictures.

Our first real boat was a 15 foor '66 Starcraft Jetstar with 33HP Evinrude with an optional electric start. Boat and TeeNee trailer were from Downings but the engine was purchased in New Jersey. We later upgraded to a 50 HP Evinrude (max for that boat). Boy was that a nice little ski boat.

In '76 up graded to 15' Starcraft American with 70HP with a later engine upgrade to a 85HP Johnson.

Jump ahead to August 1986 and a 1987 FourWinns Horizon...still going and going.
