Seth and I bought Splash Gordon, a 1989 Arriva 21' ski boat, for our honeymoon. We figured it would cost us about the same amount if we made this purchase, rather than going to Mexico. Plus, we could use Splash time and time again. It was one of the most enjoyable purchases we have made.
Splash Gordon has an interesting history. He was owned by Gordon, the secretary for Seagull Bay Yacht Club, for the majority of his life. He name was a manifestation of destiny. Gordon, the secretary, would push his boat down the ramp with a ball on the front of his pickup, instead of backing it down (pretty genius). Well, one day, Gordon forgot to put his parking break on, and SPLASH! In went his boat, still on the trailer, and his pickup! After this, he was forever deemed Splash Gordon.
To condense our story, the people who bought Splash were also buying it for their honeymoon! How cool is that!?
His legacy will forever remain in our hearts.
