    S-I-P: 9:00 AM, route 495 near Westford, Mass, blizzard conditions,
    6-8 inches of new white stuff already on the ground..... you get the
    picture, huh?

    weather, I'm going boating!"....
    
1048.2A guy who knows how to liveGOLF::WILSONThink Spring!Wed Mar 24 1993 10:2111
    While driving back from Florida in December, I spotted a rig
    headed south, somewhere in Georgia.
    
    It was a new Chevy 4X4 full size pickup. In the back were a 
    Yamaha Waverunner and a Harley Davidson.  Following behind
    was a ~23' mid-cabin cruiser!
    
    I think this guy was a frontrunner in the "He who dies with 
    the most toys..." game!

1048.3Jeep I/ONUBOAT::HEBERTCaptain BlighMon Aug 14 1995 09:4913
Headed out for some after supper fishing Saturday night. The launch ramp
on the east side of Lake Massabesic (Manchester/Auburn NH) was,
unfortunately, occupied by an old Jeep Cherokee that was in the water up
to the driver's window. The back window was totally submerged. 

I decided that I didn't want to use a ramp where you have to back *that*
far in.

The Manchester Police were there, as were the Manchester Water Dept.
folks. (Massabesic supplies water to Manchester faucets.) They were not
amused.

1048.4It ain't Province lake..KAHALA::SUTERand now for something you&#039;ll really like!Tue Sep 05 1995 11:5220
	SIP, yesterday on a Me/NH lake...

	A river rat's New (to him) toy. A Talon picklefork
powered by a Merc 200 OB that will do 87 MPH! He says it
rocks bow to stern at high speed rather than chine walking.

	Also, a small home-made job, looked like a miniature
Cigarette (skinny and pointy), about 8-10 feet long, 20 HP Merc.
Had two kids about 8-12 years old in it cruising the lake. They
looked like they were having a ball... Come to think of it
the only reason they could legally be driving that boat is that
part of the lake is in Me. NH would classify it as a PWC and the
kid would have to be 16 years old. hmmmmm......

	This lake was also rich with tournament boats. Saw a ~65
Correct Craft Mustang. Lot's of Nautiques of varying years including
an '86 Silver Nautique, and of course, a tan and blue '87 :-)
