Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

I rescued an almost brand new '96 Mariah 180 shabah in February 2005.

We were thinking about selling a getting a bigger boat, but with current prices I'm thinking we may be looking for a nice cheap camper instead.

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

I just bought a 1973 Dolphin Products Inc of Clearwater Florida 20' Bowrider.
I love it. It has the Florida Safety Patrol Marine certificate from 1974 on the side glass that looks as if it was put on yesterday.

I've done a search on the web for the company or any boats it made and so far nada. I bought it from a guy in Tampa and just tonight brought it back to the right side of the bay. In fact , when I hit the Pinellas County side ( Clearwater side)of the Howard Frankland Bridge I shouted "Welcome Home!"

She has a 1995 Force 125 that needs a 3 wire trim motor. Apparently they are very hard to come by. Other than that she is great. Just needs a little cleaning up!

Mynother boat is a 1997 16' Sugar Sand Tango Jet boat with a 175 hp Mercury XR2 jet motor,which was an abandoned vessel. Hopefully I'll have the title soon and can sell to do up the Dolphin.

Would REALLY APPRECIATE any news/contact from anybody who ever heard of or owned a Dolphin,Clearwater boat.

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

i am on my 4th boat in my 50 yr life . its my favorite of all a 1983 ebbtide dyna-trak 162,what a solid made boat! ive owned it know for 4 years, the boat gets lots of looks from people when i tell them the year it was made. i was fortunate to find this boat it is 80 to90% perfect as far as condition. ive up dated the wiring on trailer, replaced steering, 115 JOHNSON motor was fine had lower unit service to be on safe side. BOATING AND FISHING!! WHAT COULD BE BETTER, WELL MAYBE SEX ,MONEY AND GOOD FOOD!! CHRIS :):p
