    I just love those old school day cruisers. Back in the 80's I would rip across Lake Havasu in my 21' Sleek Craft day cruiser. With a 350 Chevy and Mercruiser out drive it would hit 60 mph in calm water. My Buddy ran a 21' Caribbean day cruiser with a big block Chevy and Bravo 1 out drive he could hit 70 mph. Those were the days. Thanks for the memories......................This old Cali boy misses Havasu

    Living the Good Life, I think it’s awesome to have McKay helping out on the Videos as I see it He is Right Up there with Jet Ski Jimmy & that’s quite the Compliment. I’m Sure Jimmy would agree to that🤣. Thank You Folk’s for a Great Time out on that Beautiful Lake, while Hating My Life Decisions. Stuck In Pennsylvania without McKay and His Lovely Wife. Catch you on the next one, Keep It Safe Out There Fella’s

    In the early 70’s we were on a family vacation in Vegas. We had a place in McGregor Iowa on the Mississippi and boated with a 21’ Skiff Craft plank wood boat that I think was made by the Amish in Ohio. It was a deep V and very good river boat. We stumbled on a boat dealer that had a boat very much like McCay’s Campbell. I’m not sure of the make but I remember it was primarily white with multi colored metallic green graphics. I’m pretty sure it was new and my dad negotiated the sale price to $10,000. My mom was livid. Needless to say my mom won out by threatening divorce. I don’t think they spoke for the rest of the trip which made for a long ride back home in the Country Squire. I’ve never forgotten that boat. Awesome boat that brought back a ton of memories. Thanks for taking us along

    What a beautiful Campbell! I would love to find a 20' Spectra Day Cruiser full stringer with a 454/jet. Great day on the lake! The Blackhawk was an added bonus too. Keep up the great work on the channel, one of my favorites to follow!

    Really good lookin day cruiser, glad to see that McKay found what he’s been lookin for. Was really surprised to see that it’s a v-drive, was expecting to see a jet drive setup. The throttle kinda threw me as well. Half expected it to have a hot foot with that throttle lever used for the transmission linkage. Learn something new every day.

  • @inlangford

    Nice old classic. I had an 82 Sanger v-drive but always wanted a Schiada. I came close one time it had a 540ci big block tall deck with Barry Grant built carb, THM400, Casale, and cavitation plates. I rode and drove the boat on lake Gogebic in the UP of Michigan. I still regret not taking it home.

    I seen all that seaweed at the dock where Merlin got on the boat and was thinking if any of that got sucked up into the intake that might be an issue with the cooling and performance but looks like things are good so nice boat Makay! It's been many years since we used to do the river trips had a place in Topock AZ. To many crazy people any more to deal with the over crowded river weekends but it was good times now memories !! 🤔👍👍👍

    A mid 50's Mahogany HiLiner powered by a mid 50's Evenrude Big Twin with the Jubilee Helm was my dream boat. I know its an older dream but they were gorgeous boats and the 18 to 22 foot models could be out all day running about on 12 to 15 gallons of gas.
    Best!
