Bananaron's story along with others brought back fond similar memories. Dad didn't ski but liked to drive and pull us kids. The first boat was a cedar strip runabout with a 22 HP Buccaner. It leaked like a sieve when first launched each spring. Then he bought a small cottage and purchased a new fiberglass Crosby with mahogany decks and a 40 HP Mercury Mark 55. It was a "dream boat!" My father died at an early age but we kept the boat and the cottage and got years of service from both. Segway to 1990's and I bought a lake home and a used '91 Prostar. Then I was on the 5 year plan with a '96 Sammy Duvall Prostar, a 2000 Nautique, a 2005 black P
rostar, a 2010 grey Prostar, and finally a 2015 Prostar which I presently have but......there's a new 2021 prostar ordered and due for delivery this coming summer.
Thanks dad for the memories.
