My dad has been wanting a boat for 29 years now...and last weekend he FINALLY GOT ONE!

He has always wanted a big sail boat but ultimately decided to go with a motor boat since it would be easier to start off with and would be easier to trailer without a marina slip. He said once he retires he may have to get himself a big a** sail boat though. My pops in one happy camper now!

He got an 18.5 foot sea hunt...year 2003. It has a Yamaha 150 on it and looks pretty darn good.

Below are a couple of pics of the boat and one of my dad on the test pond at the marina!

Congrats to him. That looks like an absolutely brand new boat. Great find.

My dad bought a boat last fall. It's just a little tinny though. I gotta admit, it kinda irritates me because my ENTIRE CHILDHOOD I begged him to get one. Even a little tinny like he got would have been awesome. He finally buys one when I'm an adult and have had my own boat for a decade :mad: We won't even get into him getting a big TV and full cable right after I left for college :p

Nice boat! Congrats to your dad.

...My dad bought a boat last fall. It's just a little tinny though. I gotta admit, it kinda irritates me because my ENTIRE CHILDHOOD I begged him to get one. ...

That's ironic...I practically have to shanghai my 7 year old to go fishing on the boat with me. He'd much rather watch cartoons or play video games. My 4 year old is a lot more into the outdoors though-- I think he's going to be my main fishing buddy when he gets a little older :)

I know my pops is definitely excited, as am I. Now we just gotta find time in the middle of our crazy schedules to get out on the water together!
