Our First Boat Outing
Me and my pets, Ripley and Oscar... summer 2000.
Well, we took our new boat out to the lake for the very first time today! Karen (my sister) ended up getting a trailer hitch for her Ford Escape since my truck is out of service. It did a reasonable job of pulling the little boat.
Anyway, in case I didn't mention it, it's a Glastream 172 Cutlass - a 17' bowrider with a 140hp mercruiser inboard/outboard engine.
Although it took us about 10 minutes to get it started, and I still dont know what we did to actually get it going, it ran fine for the entire day. We were on the water for about 3 hours, doing nothing but tooling around the lake. It was nice.
Jordan Lake is a pretty big lake, and it's pretty rough on any giving day. I don't think we'll be doing much skiing, but tubing should be fun.
EDITED 7/18 - Added picture gallery!
