Our First Boat Outing
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.
