AMERICAN DREAM
A Westport 130


  • the next boat from
    which to enjoy
    watching the sun
    go down?


My boat’s name, No Bada Bees, is a slogan in the car
business, which means no hassling. When my late husband,
Dale Scutti, and I were car dealers we used it in our
commercials and people loved it. My earliest memory
of being on the water is when I was three, fishing with my
mother off a pontoon boat in Indiana. In my childhood I would
swim for hours but my favorite sport now is jet-skiing.
My husband and I have had about 10 boats. The first was
a 102ft Benetti but we also had a Westport and a few
Hatteras boats. We both loved fishing and we added a
fishing cockpit to the Burger we owned. I once caught a 134lb
marlin in the Bahamas. We were always working and we used
the boats as our office and to entertain. It is the best way to
get people’s full attention. Since my husband died, I am more
comfortable on the boat than in my home. I’ve spent every
holiday on it and it’s been therapeutic for me. I made it very
cozy. My favorite spot on board is my bedroom but at the
end of the day I love to watch sunsets from the aft deck.
I call it the Love Boat because a friend who was with me
at a boat show last October met a man who came to view the
boat and they recently got married on board. It’s been a lucky
charm. But I do have my eye on a 130ft Westport;
they are the best. They’re American made.
