IT'S SEEMS THE EVOLUTION OF BOATING swiftly keeps changing...
.in the early 70's when I got my first boat..1957 biesmeyer...65 hp merc outboard...the "I wanna go faster and have a bigger boat was the constant thought.....It was a little tough , but you could ski behind the little boat...there were many a fun times , go find a spot,set up day camp, unload everything out of the boat and spend the day sking.. tubing..hanging out with friends..

.I was living in paso robles then out by lake nacimento...the whole group was about sking and hanging out at the beach..when I moved back to vegas...mead was about the same... but, we always would head over to HP cove before sundown and watch the hot boat come down the hill from boulder city,,,, bad ass schiada's and lower dullys..it was a dream... some day.I'm gonna own some thing like that.

.I was in my early 20's.. married with a couple kids to feed... but we seemed to be able to make it to the lake every weekend..boating was boating back then...you used the boat to get to the beach...and to ski...some times we would camp on the beach....as time went on... it seemed that people spend a lot more time In the boat...boats got faster..gas tanks got bigger..the bigger jet boats started fading away at the just plain sucked up all the fuel you could carry.

.boats started having open bows...inline 4 cylinder boats were getting replaced with 454 's... now there a majority of boat that will run over 50 mph..and it evolved from there...we used to trailer to the area we were going boating....now you just go there on the water..put in at havasu... boat up to needles...
