Blink bought this beautiful 82 Nautique in 1997 off of a gentleman that used it solely for fishing. I came into the picture in 2003. I immediately fell in love with the 82... and Blink. :) Three kids and the two of us created many wonderful memories on the water in this beauty, as well as a perfect family. The 82 was the beginning of a new journey for me and obviously, Blink. He went on to purchase the 94 Nautique, handed me the keys to the 82 along with a dash plate made special for me - "Shelly’s Sanity". We are active members in our local regatta and are in charge of the ski show and lighted boat parade.

There’s one thing I know for certain and that is that the 82 will always remain in the family. And contrary to belief, I haven’t waxed anything completely off of it yet. My love of Correct Crafts has led me to restoration. But that will be the rest of the story...
