Went for the first boat ride today

[thefairlaneman]

I have worked on bringing back my 1960 crestliner falcon for over a year. Today my wife and I took it out for the first time in many years. The 30hp merc 300 ran well and we were on the lake for almost 2 hours just riding. I guess we went about 12 miles down and back. It feels great to finally have my boat back in service.

Congrats man. It's cool that all went well. I still get goosebumps thinking about the first time I had mine in the water after the build.
