THE Souza Boat

IMG_6265

I didn’t grow up going to the river…we weren’t that kinda of family. Our vacations usually consisted of going to Ireland for the summers…and sometimes we did other stuff too. I used to hear about people being “river rats”…and was kinda envious of that unknown! I wanted to get to ride on boats and hang out…it all sounded so awesome! I met Yosh and was pleased to find out his family owned a pontoon houseboat. My father-in-law bought it brand new back in 2000ish (pre-Erin days)…and Yosh was lucky that Daddy trusted him with it. Yosh took care of that boat with the help of his buddies. Many AWESOME memories from days on that boat!! Family trips, couples trips, camping, night time rides, fishing, spring breaks, summer fun, etc.

This is some of the fun over the years!!

And it all continued this summer…with a few additional babies, ie. Ella

All these years we have had SO much fun with our boat at the river. But of course like everything else…we have had our ups and downs…like when the boat had to be brought home for some repairs…which kinda sucked.

We have had to get new canvas a few times and numerous repairs..our boat is the typical money pit. But we have now started discussing selling this boat to possibly purchase another pontoon without the enclosure. Which is great…but kinda sad too. I think back to ALL the fun times…with so many different people.

So if you know anyone interested in purchasing a 32ft SunTracker, currently located at Katherine’s Landing in Lake Mojave…its in great condition and low hours, please have them contact me!! I have lots of pictures of the interior!!
