...Lake Powell is really hot. Wait that's not the saying. 
Glad to see the board back up and running. I don't know if I ever actually posted an introduction on the old message board, but figured I should maybe say hello. I lurked for a long time on the old board and posted my first message just a few week or two before the site went dark...I was hoping it wasn't something I said.
I grew up around boats in Colorado with some of my fondest memories being the long, lazy, summer days on my parent’s houseboat on Lake Powell. Those experiences instilled a love of recreational boating and heavily influenced my decision to go into the maritime industry. I owned my first boat before I owned a car; when I was 16 I purchased an old Yukon Delta hull and spent every free hour over the next 6-months turning it into a deck boat for fishing at Blue Mesa Reservoir. Sadly, working on the water left little time for recreational boating, and I sold my boat over 10-years ago. With the recent birth of my son, I was looking to get back into boating so that I could share those memories that stand out from my childhood. I purchased a 65-ft Sumerset Houseboat at Bullfrog, UT from an insurance company after it sank at its mooring and I have spent the last year completing a full refit of the vessel with plans to sell shares in the boat. Shares are currently for sale and I've got a few good owners already interested. I suppose I should re-post it in the Yard Sale.
