I think there is an age where they will appreciate the boat, but may take it for granted. At 19 and 21 there are so many distractions and things to learn, etc. The first thing I did when I got out of college, was to buy my first wood speedboat. One summer I went on 50 trailer trips to the lake, a buddy and I were even out in the middle of the winter with our goose down coats on. Once you get the boating bug, you have it forever.
Those boys of yours are very lucky mom and dad are on the water in such style! I'm sure they love it, and will remember their days on the water forever.
Although I greatly appreciate the help from my dad, he is only too willing to help his son, I hope to see him motoring out of the harbor in his 31 today. The rest of the work I have to do is not really all that difficult now that we have the bottom pressure washed.
I hope you are taking the boys with you on your upcoming cruise! Would be a great family event at this time of their lives.
All the best,
