Here is a picture of my two boys - dreaming. Spending time with these two young fellows has been one of the best parts of the Hydrodyne project. Anyone who is thinking of taking on a Hydrodyne restoration should not be discouraged by the work - particularly if you've got some kids to throw in the mix. They can be more help than you might think. This has been a blast for my two boys and I. Future Hydrodyne drivers?
We start them young around here too. My son is 6 now, and he is convinced that he could put the boat on the trailer by himself. The scary thing is, he probably could! Oh yeah, he is my camera man too. He filmed that 1080 video that was taken from the boat.
Great pictures! Doesn't look like grandpa Jim is having fun or anything with his grandson on his lap! I also enjoy getting the close up of the dash on your Dad's boat. It looks really nice.
Mark, My scanner is broken and I don't have a digital camera yet. I will get those pictures up soon though I promise. I think he was only 4 or 5 in those pictures and already had the wheel. jim
