Here is a funny story: When I was five years old in 1968 my dad had one of those Magnums. It had a 125 Merc and ran in the 60's. The boat was so small inside that the throttle was mounted on the outside of the hull. Anyway, my mom refused to allow him to take me in the boat, until one weekend late that summer she said it was ok to go for a ride from the hotel we were staying at (the old Port of Call in Tierra Verde, St. Pete) back to the marina (Maximo Moorings). Ten minute ride max. This would be my first high performance boat ride ever!
Well, from the time we planed off until we got to the marina channel I freakin' screamed and cried my head off!!! My slightly older sister, who was sitting next to me, laughed at me the entire time. I still have this vivid picture of this huge cabin cruiser coming up behind us as we were slowing down to enter the marina channel. All I could think of was that we were going to get run over!! 42 years later I remember that boat ride like it was last weekend.
The story did have a happy ending though as it got me over my fear of performance boating at an early age. And the rest, as they say, is history!
Footnote - to add insult to injury, my dad just walked in my office so I showed him the pic of the Magnum. And guess wha the first thing out of his mouth was? "Remember that crazy little boat? Hahahahaha, how about the time I took you for a ride and you screamed and cried the whole way?" And this whole time I thought he couldn't hear me.Last edited by Mike A.; 04-22-2010 at 04:12 PM.
