First boat
 

While I grew up around boats I have never owned one myself. I just purchased a 2001 180 Diablo. The boat is in great shape (except the cracked cooler cover in the dash). I am excited for summer, we live in NW Montana with many lakes in the area. My two boys 5 and 7 are even more excited then myself. I look forward to the expertise on this site if and when I need it.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the club tagsfirst, you and the family are going to have a ton of fun in that beautiful boat of yours.
Post some pics of you out on the lakes in that amazing part of the world you live in.
When I was travelling (many years ago) I stayed in Kalispell for about 3-4 months. Travelled to Whitefish and Glacier National Park, probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. Saw the salmon spawning and the Bald Eagles feeding on them, what a fantastic sight.
Cant wait to see your pics.

Hey Tagsfirst - you wouldnt happen to know a Don Presnell? He lives in Whitefish, I think on the southern end of town. He does a lot of old car restorations. He would probably be about 65 now, has dicky knees and is very tall (6' 5").
A long shot I know - dont know how many live in Whitefish mind you.
Cheers
