Your ***boat history??

[bigq]

Lets see some history of the boats you have owed. Where did you start at? Here is mine.
72 Hondo silver metal flake with a Olds 455 (crappy boat motor, blew it twice in 3 years!)

So whats next??

I was thinking Nordic 25 or Ultra/DCB 247. Of coarse if money were no object, A Hallett 270S.

my first boat was my 19 ft kachina saber that i had custom built for me in 1995. i still own and use it. my 2nd boat is my year 2002 - 25 ft nordic rage which just got a 688 hp - 789 tq motor put in last week. the nordic might just be faster than my kachina now. sometime in the next 5-10 years i will sell my kachina and buy a 30-35 foot vee with two engines. right now i like cigarettes 30 ft vice with two 525 efi's or nordics 35 ft flame with two viper 625's. the flame with with 1250 hp of illmore on tap might just bust 100 mph on a cool morning with a light load. the vice would probably hit 90-95 mph.
sure would appreciate it if somebody could get my photos posted up into this thread here. i put em into my gallery and i still can't get my images embeded into my posts on this site. all the post or replies offer me to do is provide the links you see below.

bigq - thanx 4 the help with the pix. as you can see my vote is for you to go with the nordic. mine has the open bow with the mid cabin. i absolutely luv everything about this boat. it does a little bit of everything well. its sort of a jack of all trades. the only boat of its type in its class that is faster is the howard. i don't care for the howards styling so the nordic got my $$$. that blown california performance boat that you used to own definately looks like a 'scary fast' ride. if i was to ever to get a tunnel boat it would be eliminators 19 ft daytona with a jet drive and a blown 496 or a 28 foot skater with 2 merc 300 outboards. good luck with your next boat purchase.

bigq, did you get my photos via e-mail? I sure hope you can help me resize it so that I can post it in my AVATAR. If not, please advise.
No I have been looking for them. Did you get a message back? Send them again, I should have no problem with the resize.
