Your first love

...after "graduating" from the Donzi...we moved onto our 2nd love--a Fountain 24 Competition Series w/ a 502Mag. That was a real Ferrari on the water...yet we mostly used it as a station wagon.

.

Very nice! I'm sitting here imagining a Ferrari rolling up and 5 kids and 2 adults squeezing out

We had a mid-80's Cobalt when I was younger, I think it was a 21' Cuddy but I'm not 100% on that, don't remember too much about it. My "first love" was my dad's 1998 252, 502 mag, Bravo 3. I missed it so much after he sold it, I had to go buy my own Wish I had some better pictures.

My mom also had a 2003 Tige 22v (parents were divorced, each had to have their own boat...man, which one do I take out this weekend? ). I spent a lot of time wakeboarding behind this one. Lots of fun memories, but I never really got attached to it.

Yes it did He sold in 2012, I wish I had been in a position to buy it from him at that point. It was immaculate.

My brother sent me a pic of his first boat. His boss gave it to him back in the late '90's for his sales performance. It's a Cobalt...his first love! Not the sexiest but he enjoyed her for awhile.
(The 2nd pic is a before and after of his interior clean-up.)

Nice sales bonus.

Ha...if you only knew.

His commission that month was $85,000.
Back in the late 90's during the .com craze.

...and they beat the crap out of that lil' Cobalt on the water.

free boat = abused boat

Not really abused. ..(you can see how my bro cleaned up the interior). More like they rode her hard. And that little Cobalt never let them down.

It does look well taken care of. Nice boat. What model/plant did it have?

[AsLan7]

I asked him and he had no clue. Funny!
He would just say “it has an engine....what else do you need to know?”

Your brother must have been a fearless boat launch ramp guy with that full roller bunk trailer. They scare me just looking at them

Ain’t that the truth.
He said he had more issues with that trailer than he ever had with the Boat.
