With that heading, I knew it had to be "B" the teacher.

One sentence per boat, ok?

Boat 1, a 16 foot runabout, I built as a grade 11 project and gave to my dad when I left home.

Boat 2 a plywood 17 footer, I bought for camping when my boys were 2 months and 2 years old.

I moved to boat 3, a glass 17 because it was a faster better ski boat.

From there to boat 4 a 28 footer with all the amenities for cruising BC, fishing and pulling the boys.

Moved to biking.

Boat 5, a 34 Sea Ray, I picked up in Lake Worth on my way back from Hopetown, got Forbes Cooper to haul it west, for me to bring to Vancouver but sold it in Seattle before the bridge was back on it.

Boats 6 and 7, identical to boat 5 also from Fl. again; sold 1 in Seattle and managed to get the other home.

Shipped 2 more, eventually sold the last one, went back to biking but maintained access to a couple and had a 39 footer from an estate for a short while.

Thrown in there somewhere were 2 bath tubs, a tin one and a go fast glass one which were had just for fun.

Number 10 will be my last boat and will be chosen because I am way overdue to be back on the water; way overdue
