Damn! Time flies

[Spectre Powerboats]

I posted this on my facebook page and thought I would share it here.

A customer asked me today how long I had been into speed boats. I said "43 years and 9 months." He said how old are you?" I said "43." He laughed and said where did the 9 months come from?" I said "my mom and dad were not your average parents. My mom was Elk hunting when she was 8 months pregnant with me, so I have been living on the edge my whole life and then some."
This is me and my little brother in the family boat at an early age.

This was a 19 foot Cheyenne that was converted from a drag boat to pleasure by my dad. It ran on race fuel and I believe it would run about 90-95 mph back then. That is fast today, but in the early 80's, not much could run with it. Actually, I don't remember anything running with it on our little lake. My dad had a slew of fast Checkmates in the 70's and this was his first tunnel boat.
