    I have a 15' crestliner torn apart, 1/2 way through a referb, but I sidelined it when I bought the Jeep. Besides, I'd don't have a shortage of accessable crafts :evilgrin: Don't have any pick though. Hasn't seen water in 4 years :sad:


    And my dad's boats:

    17.5" Lund w/ 90hp Merc
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    A couple Old Town Loons
    [​IMG]

    A Wilderness system Fishing kayak like this

    and a 20' pontoon & water bike that I don't have pictures of.

    I have a old john boat its a 14 footer with a 15 hp johnson on it that is a little too much for it when I am by myself in the boat.

    I am also fixing up a 1950 ish 16 hp Scott-Atwater motor that is in really good condition. I am hoping to completely restore it and then I will see what I want to do with it after that. It was given to me from a family member.

    Then I have a canoe which is attached to my old hunting vehicle securedownload.jpg johnson motor.jpg 400865_10151076154156918_1619550896_n.jpg temt and boat.jpg

    Dont have any good pics of the boat but we do have it set up for duck hunting with grassy blind cover

    Here's mine. Picked it up for the right price this last June. I fished it all summer, and am now I'm in the middle of a complete over haul.

    Scott - I never knew you had a bass boat? Isn't that a Pro Craft? That looks a lot like the Pro Craft that my partner owns and I started fishing tourneys on.

    I think you guys have probably seen mine before but I'll play too.

    1973 Sears 12' Semi V that I turned into a mini bass boat. You can't see it in these pics but I've got a 77' Johnson 15hp tiller on the back that is completely restored as well.

    Before the restore:

    After:

    [​IMG]

    And the big boat. It's a 97' Ranger 461vs with a 97' VMax 150. While I'd love to have a 20' boat with a 250, I own the title on this one and it's been on a lot of big water and always brought me home safely. I've done 100+ miles round trip on tournament days on some big lakes, and have been in a couple of scary situations where she always pulled through for me. It was a one owner boat stored in a heated garage before I bought it, so it's still in really amazing shape for being 16 years old.

    Thinking about the two big ones that got away.......

    Nothing sounds meaner than a two stroke on muffs......:evilgrin:

    Thats gotta be the cleanest 97' ranger I ever seen! Great graphs on it to by the way. Hoping in a year or 2 I have a set up like that. Ill get the Tracker fixed this year and a new Kayak, then the bass boat is next on the list!

    Found another picture today of my boat on the website of the team tournament trail that I fished last year. For those of you familiar with Champlain this was taken at the Ticonderoga launch as I waited for my trailer with 19lbs in the livewell.

    How does that thing handle the salt? Looking for pretty much the exact same boat to use in the salt for sea ducks just north of you!!
