I donÂ’t know whose son this is but he is a lucky guy to have such a nice boat!! The people that are trying to shut our sport down donÂ’t realize this is part of are culture. Hopefully when this young man gets old enough to drive a real one, we will still have the freedom. Needles Vacation 05

That was me about 14 years ago..... Its hard to find people my age into the boats and culture I like. Not to mention gaining the respect of the older guys who have been doing this there whole life. Nice to see.

[DUNDUN]

im the only kid i know of at my school whos family has a v-drive... :(

[dmontzsta]

I want that boat, anyone know where to get one? I will rig it with one of those mine blower motors and v-drive. :D The bow paint looks just like mine, maybe I should do a cool stripe up the side like that... :idea:
You are right, it is sad, I wish I was around to enjoy it in the good ole days.

My old man tells me to this day. That I would sit in his lap while out cruising the lake with no mufflers and in about 20 mins I would be sleeping. But once I got to be around 4 and still sitting on his lap. That he had to do his most to keep my hands off the steering wheel. By the way neat pic!

[DaveA]

This is all way cool.
Thanks for posting them.

[Cole Man II]

This would be a great thread for fathers day. Start looking for those old pictures now.

That would be our kids. Tayler 9, loves to tow his
boats up and down the beach for hours upon hours.
Jeff got the boat at the swap meet, painted it, then
Tayler wanted a wing like our dimarco.
That wasn't enough,he wanted to make a wake
so Jeff added plates on the back.
Thanks Todd for the great picture.
He will deffinetly be asking to drive the flat in
a couple years.
(that's also our daughter Tori, 7)

Do you know where I can get another one? I am dead serious, that looks JUST like my boat, the bow and paint is identical.

It was nice watching them have some good old kid fun!! Mud & Water!! No computer games or TVÂ’s. I can send you a high resolution picture if you like. Just PM me with your E-mail address.

I have no clue where to find another.
I'll ask around a little. Some of our friends
have some remote controll molds.
It was a real fluke that we even found
this one. (for $6.00)
Thanks again Todd, I sent ya our email address.

thats killer..
Unfortunatly I didnt have the same experience.. My parents were not into it..
I ended up buying my first jetboat when I was 19.. and then it was all down hill from there..
But my kids will have it like you did.. Hopefully they have the same love for it that I do.. Time will tell.

Demonstras: I had a 1960's wood boat just like that but my step Dad gave it to goodwill before I could say stop! It was about 3 feet long with a Madewell 49 gas engine! Sorry

damn! :( a mini v-drive would be fun to play with.

My son Cole at age 2 in our old Mandella. He loved it. At the first CBBB when he was 1 1/2, he cracked everybody up because he kept trying to push the boat off the beach like dad (me) did when we would go for a ride.
