So, I didn't realize I signed up for this forum so long ago. I just finally bought my own (project) boat. For years I have been using my parents boats. They have a 1999 Four Winns Sundowner 205 and a Cobia 174cc (don't know the year). Now I am the proud owner of a 1968 Johnson Surfer 210. I will post some pictures later. For now though, Hello. I have seen a lot of really good info on the site so far in regards to restoration and repairs and can't wait to tear into the Surfer.

Had a friend that had one of those years ago. Built like a tank and had the trailer to match. I think it had the Buick V-6 to power it.

The trailer is definitely built to last. I have never seen such a beefy trailer. I am excited to possibly get it in the water before putting her to sleep for the winter. My grandfather had a 66 or 67 Rouge which is essentially the same boat with a closed bow. That was the first boat that I ever drove back when I was 7 or 8 years old. I remember all my uncles and my mother talking about how the Rogue was the "fastest boat on the pond." It feels like I bought a little bit of my family history with this boat.
