Hey y'all!

I'm Brian, my friends call me BigCity. I've been drooling on this site for about 10 years. I actually ended up buying a '79 Nautique that was on this site and was lucky enough to pick it up after it was refurbished to original condition. It has been a real gem and probably my favorite toy I've ever owned.
I had a '88 Sea Ray 21 w/ a cuddy years ago because it had to serve multiple purposes (sleep n ski). I dreamed of having a houseboat & an older model Nautique. About 7 years ago, it kinda all fell into place. I got lucky.
It's nothing fancy, but I feel like a rich man. I thought I'd share it here, because I also make music for a hobby and thought you guys might enjoy. My kids actually learned to ski to this song before it was professionally recorded. I am shooting a real video and song release next month, so this just a preview.

I hope you like the homemade version preview! I promise I'll let you know when the real one is out.

Sweet. I feared you were a sophisticated spammer but you are obviously the real deal. I am sure you will have a built in fan base here. Thanks for sharing.
For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

Very cool. There are plenty of pics of his boat in the video. Way to rep the CC. I'm not a huge fan of country or western, but I really liked that one. I'm pretty sure it will be played on my lake in a few weeks. Keep us informed of the progress.

Nice Job!

What lake is that?

That is a cool video and cool song (even though I'm not a big fan of country music either)!

Nice boats too!

Heck yeah!! That Jimmy is a great tow vehicle for that boat too! That light blue is my favorite color on the early boat boats I believe.

Wow.....a 10 year Lurker Veteran, and we thought Bill Berry had the record for lurking. Glad to see you joined the ranks. Cool Video, Nice voice, even cooler boat. Yeah, we gotta see more pics of the 79. Welcome to the site and pay no attention to these Non-Country Music Fans. They don't know what they're missing. Definately gonna have to add your song to the On the Water playlist.

Nice.

Given it's Nashville, I'm wondering if that is the boat that Ultrahots sold to Alan Jackson? Looks mighty familiar.

     Started out as a 103 then upgraded with the Stage 4 Screaming Eagle kit. Dyno tested at 100 HP and 110 lbs of torque...conservatively. All work was done by previous owner at the dealer...no way would I put that kind of money in although it is a VERY fun ride!! Sedona orange in color..I have a good pic' that I managed to get to photobucket but it has been so long since I posted a picture here that I've forgotten the procedure.

        Mojo: Obviously this comment was made prior to your correction of my picture post attempt...thank you very much!! I'm about as good as my brother at this computer business. Speaking of John he was also present when that picture was shot...last Sept. on the day before my daughters wedding. Big group [12 or so] of all old Ski Club guys went for a breakfast ride; I borrowed bikes for John and our buddy Ralph who now lives full time in Tennessee. Good times!!
