I’ve been a certified Marine Mechanic since 1982. I work primararily on conventional gas marine engines and go-fast boats here in Charlevoix Mi.. It’s a great profession with many fringe benefits, among them, the choice of several boats to use at my desire and pleasure.
Back in my day we called em import boats..lol
Wild West of south Florida 80s
The famed Midnight Express was a sturdy piece of work
I hear they brought me back again
I owned a Scarab super sport and a Formula 37 back then
The Formula a much better boat
Nowadays I fish a little down around Naples and Boca Grande
Open fish boats and go fast open platform boats have kind of morphed together
Fast boats actually for fishing...and some are well appointed like mini man o wars
And pricey too
