Expanding the fleet!

We are happy to announce a new addition to our family! While we have not yet found a pilothouse like we have been hunting for, that search has not delayed us in expanding our fleet. :)
Today we purchased a very nice Boston Whaler 17' Dauntless. This is their dual console boat (i.e. bowrider style!) and not their traditional center console. The kids love being on the water and many times last summer said how much fun itwould be to be able to go tubing, kneeboarding, and see if they can learn to wake board. We were going to hide the purchase from them until Christmas but I could notcontain myself and had to reveal her to the family today. Needless to say, they were VERY excited when they saw me pulling into the driveway with the boat in tow. One of our very good friends from our time on Lake Lanier has the exact same model boat so we were very familiar with it and extremely pleased to have her in the family and look forward to many good times aboard her with the kids. A few pictures....



Our son Caleb could not resist giving her a good cleaning and spending some time bonding with her. You can't beat being able to be barefoot and in shorts in the middle of December!
