Bob and Tammy Dorr bought "Lazy Daze", a 1974 O'day 20 in August of 1998. A trailer and outboard were included. "After one week of preperation to make it safe and legal, we took off to Lake Mendota in Madison WI, which is about 25 miles from our home. It took us under 1 hour to get it from the parking lot to catching a soft breeze on the lake. We have taken this boat to a number of locations, Green Bay on Lake Michagan, Apostle Islands National Lake Shore, Grand Lagoon in Pensacola and pictured here, our trip to Biscayne Bay. We kept it at Mathison Hammock Marina and a 2 night stay on Elliot Key. This boat has been a dream of ours for years and we couldn't be happier." |
