TOPIC: Hello, newbe here

Hello boaters...Barry Eller here from Gulf Breeze, Florida. Cool site! I'm a boater, all my life, my Mother carried me inuterio the summer of 1952 in my Dad's 16' Chris Craft before I was born in November. So my addiction came honestly! My current boat is my 1993 Donzi 22 Classic. I also have my 1974 Tahiti 16' that I bought new in February 1975. The Tahiti is not seaworthy at the moment, but I plan to restore it again in the near future. Are there any members here from the Gulf Breeze/Pensacola, Florida area here?

Welcome, Barry! Have a look around and make yourself at home. Nice Donzi, but let me be the first to request pics on the '74 Tahiti. That's how we roll around here. And by the way, FINALLY, somebody older than me, I'm so glad you joined us.

Thanks Mark, I have posted the photos of my 1974 Tahiti on my profile album. It was a fun boat back in the 70's living on Pensacola Beach and being a single young man!
I don't have a engine for it now and I am thinking of converting it to a jet drive with a berkley or jacuzzi and a BBC.

Here is a video of my Donzi while flushing after a run on Pensacola Bay. I have since change the exhaust to Gil Dry Offshore...it is louder now!
