That was my dream boat as a kid. Especially with a loud 2.5!

Your boat looks great. Wish it was mine.
Looks like a early Red/White 24 SB OB in the background on the other side of the dock.

My son - now 27 - grew up in my Progression 22. I have a number of very similar pictures of him over the years. Teach him well and he'll have a lifelong love affair with the water. And just wait till you see him drive it solo - at speed - someday. That day will come faster than you'll ever believe. I also have a few primitive digital camera video clips of my son docking the Progression solo - at 8 years old. I wish I could figure out a way to share them here.

That Superboat looks incredible. I love the color scheme. Growing up in Massapequa, there was a 24 across the canal from me in that color scheme.

Well, I scrounged up the poor quality videos and uploaded them to YouTube. Watching them actually brought a tear to my eye. Proof positive that you can never start them to young. Gotta love the sound of my old 2.5 (even at idle) too!
BTW, The little kid in these videos - my son Brandon - is now 27 years old!
