Default New toy

I picked up a new to me 96 crownline 225br with a 454 and a bravo 3 outdrive. My old boat sunk at the dock up north so it was time for an upgrade.

Love to ride in boats. Love to water ski, but will never own one. They are just money pits.

Old boat sunk because the drive shaft bellows split wide open when I brought it in before dark., so it sank over night because the bilge pump couldn't keep up. As far as first and last day of owning a boat I would have to disagree. We've already had quite a few great days on the boat with a lot more to come. They can definitely give you fits on occasion but the great days are unbeatable. Here's a diff sunk pic. And another fun pic.

Unlike our trucks we love to sink money into modifying, right!
