First boat - 2002 196 in Nottingham, UK

[AlisdairH]

Having been a volunteer instructor and boat driver with the British Disabled Water Ski Association for nearly 20 years, I recently made a long term dream a reality and bought my own 196 to use as a family boat.

This weekend was the first using it. I'm really happy with the boat but docking up at the jetty will take some getting used to because up to now I have always driven MasterCrafts!

Congrats, and welcome to the Family!!!!

Clean looking 196. Running on LPG?

Yes it is. It's the cheapest option for running a boat in the UK and the lake where I'll be using it has the facilities to refuel at the dock

Looks like a great summer is going to be had.
