Used my dad's boats growing up and that ranged from a flat with a 25 up to a 70mph Glass-tream. First one I purchased was a 16 foot '86 Cajun Special with a 90 Merc. Loved that boat. In an odd turn, my dad asked to borrow it after I'd had it 5 years or so, left it tied up at camp, stormed while he was gone and it sank. Guess he was paying me back for all those busted lower units from my teen years
