I was five years old when my father brought home the first boat I ever remember seeing. It was a 1958 McKenzie Cherokee. He took me out on the Ohio River and I was hooked on boating for life. The year was 1968 and for the next four years we took countless fishing trips to the lakes in Kentucky and made some of the best memories of my life. He sold the boat in 1972 and bought a bass boat. It was nice, but I'll always remember the days with the Cherokee.
In 2003 I found myself in the boat business in Florida. I also found the location of that first boat from all those years ago. I tried to purchase it to no avail. I went as high as $1000.00 and it was no sale. Having given up on it I went up to Kentucky to attend a wedding. I made one last attempt and was able to buy the boat for $250.00. I brought it back home and it's my new project.
