| DAY ONE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| So there I was, just minding my own business, surfing the power boat ads on Yachtworld.com (as I normally do), when this reasonably-priced Chris-Craft popped up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Halcyon" - on the hard -- fall 2000. (That's the Niagra-Mohawk Power Plant in the background) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| THOUGHT PROCESS: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chris-Craft, I know - but watzza Roamer? Looks cool, motors rebuilt, and everyones gonna fit - but an aluminum hull? Hmmm, must investigate this further,.... |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A super strong, lightweight aluminum hull and these babies are the reasons why. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Roger Penske's "Detroit Eagle" a 153 foot Feadship. She cruises at 28 knots, and 36 WOT. (Surfers beware!) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ..., let's see, Burger, Derecktor, Feadship - all made in aluminum. OK, if it's good enough for the world's bizzilionaires, it's good enough for me. |
