Leaky Tiki is the history of eight different boats the author has owned or operated over sixty years of boating in the bays of New York, the Mediterranean Sea, and around South Florida and the Bahamas Islands. Leaky Tiki was a 15 foot Chris Craft kit boat with a 30 H.P. Evinrude motor. Graduating through time the author has yachted between Spain and Italy on board the 27 meter Benetti, and then owned a series of boats for different purposes. When he wanted to go fast he bought a Cigarette racing boat. When he wanted to fish he bought a series of center console sport fishermen. Rarely did the author not own some kind of boat or another throughout his life. Chris Craft, Benetti, Sea Ray, Dusky, Contender, each special in its own way.
