The big February boat show was this past weekend, making it a full year since that fateful day my wife and I stood on the plastic deck of that 215CC, and she looked at me and said "You know..." -and it was all over but signing on the dotted line!

Due to an unusual amount of overtime at work, coupled with a drought that drained all the local watering holes within a 1 1/2 hour driving distance, we only logged about 32 engine hours over our first year.

It was fun going back to the boat show as an owner after so many years of window shopping. As we examined this year's boat offerngs from all the different makers, we compared them to our benchmark - the one sitting in our driveway. I must say our Triumph is really wearing well with us, as there wasn't a hint of wanderlust for the glass boats.

Cheers!
