Default Goodhue's Boatyard

I use to hang out around Goodhue's in Glendale. (Marine Patrol HQ). He and his son Tuppie were heavy into fast boats. The marina was a Mercury, Hydrodyne and Hydrostream dealer. Tuppie would take me out in his toys and I was hooked!
My first was a home built hydroplane that someone left at the boatyard. My Dad bought me a Quicksilver outboard which was a bit more than I can handle when I am 14 years old! I use to terrorized all the Boston Whalers that the Lake Shore Park kids had around the mid 60's. Gary Cook had a 13' with an Evinrude 70!
Since than I have graduated to a Hydrostream Viper, 4-Winns Liberator and now a Formula F-223 LS.

Live on the Lake was good.
