I think I might just be the older member of this board; I am a 1936 model.

The best numbered age yet 69! 8-)

Still hanging in their with all kinds of back problems.
I don't live aboard but cruise alot in the summer.
The boat doesn't seem to bother me at all. I hope it stays that way.

Sharkbait, you got me beat. I'm 1943 vintage.

My most memorable event was rowing a boat around Texas City Harbor on April 17 1947 picking up body parts.

Don that 1947 Texas city Refinery explosion, My Dad was a merchant marine doing that trip. Changed his outlook and he decided to go back to college and a few years later marry and start a family. Bet that was an eyeopening horror.

Saw that early in my life. I have never seen anything more horrific since then.

In 1948 rode my first Whizzer Motorbike. The same year my Dad bought a new Chevy for $999.00 Damn Whizzer was $199.00 new, Bought by my Grand Mother for my brother and myself. That is how I learned to fix Motorcycles. But in 1955 bought a 1947 indian Chief 80" flat head. Now really learned how to fix bikes.

Life has been very good for me.
