Wild Generosity
Few if any members of the high-performance powerboating community know the waters of Lake Powell as well as Utah’s Nick Child. That’s because Child, who owns a 2021 model-year DCB Performance Marine M37R catamaran called Wild Child and a brand-new Deep Impact 399 center console, spent his formative years exploring the spectacular Colorado River-fed waterway.
You can add “generous” to performance boat owner Nick Child’s list of fine personal qualities.
You could do worse for a guide, as I learned firsthand during last year’s Lake Powell Challenge, but you couldn’t do better. And now that he has a 39-foot center console from the Miami-based builder, the 34-year-old Child will be able to show select guests—in addition to his wife, Monnica, and their two boys—his favorite wonders of the lake.
The owner of Toole Valley Motorsports in Erda, Utah, Child also happens to be among the warmest and most down-to-earth guys in the go-fast boating world. You can add “generous” to his personal resume, as he is putting up a new four-seat Can-Am Maverick R Max XRS off-road vehicle for auction during the April 10-13 Super Cat Fest West event in Lake Havasu City, Ariz.
Out the door, the Smart Shox-equipped, terrain-devouring beast lists for $75,000.
