This is how this thing all got started. A trip to the Portland Sportsman's Show. Dee said "a boat would be fun". I said "I've always wanted a boat"! The rest is history. We had it a little less than a year. We made the trade at the '05 Seattle Boat show and are now enjoying our C D 25 foot cruiser.

Coming back from our first cruise on the Columbia River. This boat is definitely a different animal.
