Mitt Romney's new toy

Steveo · 04-25-2017, 08:26 AM

I pulled into a gas station in North Andover, MA last week and this boat was there. I commented to the guy who was towing it on how nice it was and he told me he was delivering it to its new owner - Mitt Romney. The guy was with East Coast Flightcraft, the guys who bought Weirs Pier. I thanked him for that and was looking forward to all the nice work they planned over the next 5 years.

Perhaps the hull color should be red. 😏

Shouldn't it have a crate for the dog on top of that tower?

I think many in his party think that color is appropriate.

This boat doesn't seem to be what I would expect Mitt to fully enjoy, he just doesn't seem this type!

My guess is that this is more for his kids, than himself.

A couple of years back I saw him and his family pulling up to the Town Docks in a big Sea Ray bow rider.

He's a skier so I would say it does. Here he is..ahh...no..thats Fonzi. Somebody on this forum posted a pic of him cutting a pretty nice slalom turn.

Looks more like John Kerry than Mitt Romney.

Great, Wait till FLL see's that life belt Fonzi's wearing. Time for a price check from FLL from Walmart and various water magazines

You know that you almost never, ever, see anyone actually swimming in Lake Winnipesaukee. It is usually very quiet from Monday thru Thursday, and then it picks up on Friday, and gets busy with boats and jet skis on Saturday and Sunday. For every swimmer you see in the water on the weekends, there's like maybe 50 or 100 boats and jet skis.

Well, that yellow belt on the Fonzi's waist is called a swimmer's belt, and they work great for swimming, but are not legal for water skiing anymore, and you can buy one in like three different sizes at www.parafunalia.com in Gilford for about 25-dollars.

Do they work good for swimming way out there, through the big weekend waves, and into the water that's 50-feet deep .......YES IT DOES.....and definitely increases your swim safety by a whole lot ...... a big confidence builder for swimming through 2 1/2' wake waves while still in a shoreline area.

HURRAY for MITT ..... go Mitt go ..... better Mitt should be Mr President right now, than u-know-who.....betcha that Mitt is like a 100-times better water skier than that other guy, ever ever ever, who is too old and too out of shape!

Water skiing is very physically demanding on the arms, and entire body.

Between the kids and the grandchildren the ski boat will probably get a good workout.

He has a SeaRay SLX. If I remember correctly (and that is a big if) it is the 31 foot one. It fits nicely in his boathouse.

Yes, they get ice cream by boat and the kids keep coming and coming and coming. I don't know how they get so many people in that boat even though it is a big one!
