Owner bought the boat in	1988
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again?	i also owned a 21ft venture. both of these i sailed constantly on lake tahoe. at that time i lived in incline village nevada. i also used to go to san francisco and sail on the titan, a 65ft macgregor. it was sold to someone in southern california last i heard. i remember that the titan and zeus were the only 2 65ft macs on the bay for sometime. now i sit here on the hard while waiting for the snow to melt. soon the vette will take me to berkley marina to sail on the j24. sure miss the mac24 and the awsome sailing days on the lake.
