This is my fourth boat. Over the years I've had a 15' Bayliner, 1992 18' Seaswirl 4.3 I/O, 1998 Mariah Shabah 18' 4.3 I/O. I bought the Seaswirl & Mariah new but sold both for various reasons.

My new wife of three years hasn't been around boating much so I convinced her to give it a try. We were planning on spending cash & under $10,000. We'll after looking at many used boats we decided on this boat with 3 hours total. It was her choice too, & we still paid cash, but much more than the original plan of $10,000! We took it ofr a one hour run on the Columbia River the day we picked it up. I think she's sold on the idea!

It's a 2010 Rienell model 192 fish & ski, with a 4.3L again. Hey, I liked the motor the last two times! I think it will fit our needs just right. Now for some warmer weather here in Washington state!

Welcome! Man, that is one sweet looking boat. I am green with envy. Want to trade for a '88 aluminum Sportsman with mismatched vinyl and an 85hp Force that still has some compression left? I'll throw in a half a can of Off bug spray and all the loose screws you can find in the hull!

It would take a lot of beer to get me to agree to that! I feel quite fortunate. I happen to be employed in one industry that is thriving right now...agriculture! There are some real good buys out there right now.

I'll be happy to babysit your boat down here until your weather warms up. Beautiful boat!
