Let's see:
Prototype Millbrook AC DC (when John sold it to my father he noted it didn't AC or DC well, but we have had a lot of fun in it over the years and still use it on occasion)
Perception Reflex (very dark period in my life before I realized C1's existed. As soon as I found out they did I sold it, and purchased:)
About this time I got my guides license (have to be 18 to guide in NYS) and was pushing rubber a bit (starting out with "bucket boats". I tell you, these trainees these days have it WAY too easy with the self bailers!)
Dagger Cascade and Perception Slasher I learned a lot in those boats!
I sold them and purchased a first year Dagger Atom - I was in college at this point.
Next came the Massive Groove (when I had a "real job")
Then a used Fanatic II after going to the Armada in '99 and enjoying watching all the long boats
I *think* the standard cut Acrobat was next, as i was interested in squirting from when I got the Cascade and Slasher, but it might have been a Viper.
After that I forget. I was traveling on business, paying no rent, and was able to pick up boats as they appeared for sale all across New England. And my rack shows it!

Seems like a good way to introduce myself to the group, listing my boat progression- beats the way dogs do it!
My name's Tony, paddled from 1980-1995, had kids and got back into it this past year.
paddled grummans, alumacrafts, old town trippers with the scouts in Maine (Roy Hunter infected my with the whitewater bug)
later I got to paddle "new" boats: discovery and a grumman eagle
went to the dark side when I got my own boat: a used lettman, shared a phoenix slipper k1 and spent most of my time patching it, a hollaform (It was like paddlin' a soft bleach bottle), and demo mirages- the walls were a mirage- had some funky plastic post to support the deck.
was trying to roll a borrowed me using article from canoe magazine when I met Bernie- got me rollin' good
first and only "new" boat a gyramax- wore that sucker out- had holes in both ends- became self bailing from video boating on the new- best big water boat
trashed a flashback (turned them pretty spruce gunnels into splinters) on the uy, lost a wautga squirt boat under an undercut on obed-emory- got it back from some nice folks
The dope finally wore off from my video boatin stupor, only took fifteen years, and I noticed the kids were teenagers rather than in diapers, decided to boat again.
Went to nicest sporting Goods and got me some kind of funny plastic canoe with folding seats- took it to the upper new and kept bein' told it weren't a real whitewater boat, folks were mumblin' something about air matresses and float toys not bein' suitable flotation
this past year got me a cascade- spray skirt didn't fit and didn't feel like I'd ever be able to stay in it- sold it to Zeth
bought a taureau from kimmie- that thing ain't a boat- its two traffic pylons welded together masquerading as a boat- but it is kinda fun on creeks
got me gyramx from the O'heeO lands ( I prefer the pocohontas moviedisney pronunciation)- hijacked by my son most of the time
So in addition to introducing myself I think I managed to answer all the important questions from the past year- what's the best big water boat, pro and cons of the taureau aka"turdo" the perfect s**t creek boat, and I'm gonna tell my wife my knees hurt like hades so I need to get something more comfy to paddle- I wonder if you can turn one of them mirages into a cboat???

1996- Caption
1997- Ovation (hated it)
1998- Viper 11
1999- Skeeter
2000- Superfly
2001- Spanish Fly
2001- Prelude
-I've owned a lot of other boats for specialty purposes (slalom, downriver, freestyle, Ocoee for the big water in CO etc...) but the list above represents what I would call the progression of my everyday boats.
-I paddled the Spanish Fly as my everyday boat until about 2004 then the prelude from 2004 on but I owned a prelude before and still paddle a spanish fly all the time since it is a great playboat (ocoee, gauley etc...)
