The boat is a Fun Jet I think it's made by Arkansas Traveler from Texas. I believe they were made between 1987-1990. It's a Yamaha powered three cylinder They came in 70 h.p. and 90 h.p. Jet drive. We have two of them a 70 and a 90. An 88 and 89. I hope this answers some of your questions. Parts are hard to find. The boats were sold new in Johnson City, Ny. If you find any information about the boats we would appreciate any information you get. Thanks for the You Tube Comments. Ron

Hey U-Tubers..... At the twenty second mark of this video there is a pic of a red and white speedboat with an inboard motor on a trailler. If anyone knows anything about this boat like who made it, the "brand name" or any other details I'd appreciate it if y'all could let me know. I would love to get something like it, never saw one like this with an inboard motor before. Thanks from "Wing-Nut"........

[vinnieslides]

I don't know how old this is, but I needed that!

It brought both smiles, and tears to me.

Those children are so precious!

I'm pounding 40' ers, on the Bering Sea right now, to make the money to give my Grand Children a Treasure Chest, like you have given yours.

I'm getting too damn old to jump out of helecopters, or pound waves on a boat.

But it's beautiful people like you that keep me going. My heart felt Thank you!!

The only thing that would hurt me is if the kids said,"Jimmy Who!

[Imspacedbro]

[ABayQuad]

Are some of these pics form the St Lawrence Seaway? We summer in Chippewa Bay.

[johna166]

I had a standing job offer from one of the cruisse lines. They really used to solicit ex navy from nearly any nation.

When my second wife died, I should have returned to sea, taking my son with me.

Yep, most cruise lines provide tutors for dependant children.

I often wonder how things might have been.

This is nice music for such a contemplation!

What might my son be, now, if he had gone to sea when he was only six years old?

[toddb44]

@johna166 what happened to your son then??

[tucanchew32]

You got the best crew ever, XD. Thanx for vid!

[bw6778]

Jimmy is one of the best lyricists in the business. On a side note however, what's wrong with living in a trailor?

[krissy4bball]

I love this song, it makes me think of driving to the beach with my dad. Taking trips around the harbor and fishing with him. Looking at these pictures of the two kids, makes me emotional thinking about the connection I have with my older brother, and how that bond can never change. Thank you for this.

[Serasia]

This song reminds me of my grandpa, and because of that and listening to this song I wanted to go out and be a sailor or at least get on a ship ^^ Thanks for uploading this, it really brings memories back.
