DREAMING BIG!
|
Ahhh, the sun feels so warm on my face as I rock gently back and forth.
I hear a splash to my left, I turn and gaze at the porpoise as it surfaces nearby. I can hear a soft exhale from their blow-hole. The porpoise surfaces again, about 50 feet away, and I see what looks like a pod of beautiful grey bodies glistening in the sun, playfully coming to the surface one after the other. Darn, there they go, probably chasing a school of fish, splashing away towards the bridge in the distance.
Time to give chase; the engine starts so quietly that I'm not even sure it's running (this is a major attribute of the Yamaha outboard on my Scout boat).
I'm off! With the touch of the throttle, I'm on a plane nearly instantly (thanks to the innovative hull design exclusive to Scout).
The wind blows my hair straight back and in seconds, I have caught up with the pod of porpoise...
Am I DREAMING? Nope...I'm just out for a day on my brand new 17 foot Scout boat!
Dream BIG...are you in the market for a new boat, your first boat, your DREAM boat? Do you have a friend or neighbor who is DREAMING of owning an AWARD WINNING SPORT FISHING BOAT?
Come to the Dream Big Auction March 22nd. Bid and WIN a real DREAM BOAT. Wake up and feel the wind in your hair as you skim over the waters that surround our beautiful lowcountry. Relax, your student is at a first class Nationally ranked High school, it's time you owned a FIRST CLASS Nationally ranked BOAT!
Visit www.scoutboats.com and do a little research.
