Hello from new boater

[Modster74]

Hello all, just a quick hello. New to boating and Just purchased my first a mayland 20 for me and the family to use on our local river tees, maiden voyage today launched from the slipway. Took a little while to get her to fire up but managed eventually.

Congrats on your new boat Mark. A new chapter in your life begins with boat ownership. Enjoy it with your family and take it slow. Even with years of experience I still do

Welcome Mark.

Exciting times with any new boat but particularly your first boat!

As a.ready said, take it slow and steady and importantly don’t frighten the family so that they stay the course and you can enjoy your new pastime together.
