6 years ago today we bought this boat — a 1968 Evinrude Sportsman 155 with an OMC Buick V6 150.
It wasn’t flashy. It wasn’t fast. It definitely wasn’t perfect. But it became the foundation for some of our family’s best memories.
This was my girls’ first boat.
Their first tube rides.
First sunset cruises.
First time learning how to hold a dock line, wipe down vinyl, hand over tools, and help bring an old boat back to life. ❤️
Since then, we’ve been incredibly blessed to upgrade and experience the comfort, performance, and luxury of newer boats. And trust me… we LOVE them. But this old boat still holds a place in our hearts that no brand new boat ever quite will.
Because this is where it all started.
The truth is, boating isn’t about having the biggest or fanciest setup on the lake. It’s about the memories you make with the people sitting beside you.
Whether it’s your very first project boat or your dream luxury wake boat, I absolutely love helping families get out on the water and into something they’ll build memories in for years to come.
And yes… I still think these old classics are pretty special. 🚤☀️

It’s 7PM on a Sunday… and this is what I’m doing 😅🧼🚤
Getting this beautiful Lund 1650 Rebel XL Sport cleaned up and lake-ready for an early morning delivery to Trout Creek.
Black boats are absolutely gorgeous when they’re clean… but keeping them that way is a labor of love. I’ve been using Outdoor Windex hooked right to the hose for quick wash-downs like this, and honestly it works great for helping keep darker boats water spot free — especially if you dry everything REALLY well afterward with microfiber towels. That final dry is the secret. 👌
Most people only see the shiny finished product at the lake. They don’t always see the evenings, the details, and the effort that go into making sure a boat is perfect before delivery day.
And if you’d rather spend your Sundays relaxing instead of scrubbing water spots… call me 😉
From detailing and wash-downs to full concierge lake-ready service, I help make boat ownership easy so all you have to do is show up and enjoy the water.
❤️
Being a mom is the greatest thing I’ve ever done. ❤️
One of the things I’m most thankful for is working for a company that truly understands family comes first. At Captains Marine, it’s not just something people say — it’s something that’s lived every day.
From after-school chaos in the showroom to office chair races between boat displays, my girls get to grow up seeing what hard work, kindness, and community look like firsthand. And having leadership that genuinely cares about their employees and their families makes all the difference.
I don’t take it for granted. Grateful for this season of life, these memories, and the people who make it possible. ⚓️

Even the most seasoned boat owners are guilty of getting the boat fully covered then realizing they left their phone on their right?! That's why designed the racoon door for 2026! This easy access zipper let's you jump in and out with ease after the boat has been covered. I wish it would have been a today as I was getting ready to leave work!
Its delivery day for the Hankinsons at Swan Lake Marina ! Did you know that they have slips to rent?! Not to mention.... you could even rent out the tiki boat featured here!!! They are awesome hosts and great customers. Give them a call for a slip and give me a call for a boat to put in it!
