On Monday he told me had gone and bought a boat. I was thinking ok, he has got himself a fishing boat or something along those lines. This morning I went to see him and his new purchase..............

I wasn't quite prepared for the size of the thing. I know nothing about boats or boat engines but it has a Mercury CT Command Thrust 60 fitted.
I post this here because, as I said, he never spends money on himself or rewards his hard work. I'm so happy he has done something for himself for a change and I hope this thing brings him plenty of pleasure. |
Nothing at all wrong with that. Its a great excuse to kick back and do nothing. So good on your old man for getting a leasure craft. Nothing beats a nice day on the water. The boat i have now i got when i was 16, its my 2nd. I still love it. Got it new in 03 and its a bit different to that boat, but still, fill the ice box, load up with things for lunch, its a good way to make a day out of it. Well, i always add fishing. Dont eat fish, but enjoy the sport.
