Re: Your First Boat

My first boat was a 1976 16' Sea Sprite Tri-Hull with a 100 hp Merc. outboard.

Like an idiot, I sold it to buy an engagement ring. Shoulda kept the boat

2 years ago, e bought a 21' Viper Coral f/s with a 225 Merc.

NOW we have a 2006 LARSON f/s I/O deck boat

First boat is my current boat and probably my last boat.
Had many others, but always kept this one.
1961 13 foot whaler
Had it my whole life (dad bought it about the time I was born in 1964)

I picked up a 1968 Glass Magic 14' runabout. It's totally vintage and I love it!

Re: Your First Boat

My first boat was 12' aluminum that I got off my buddies dad for $100.00, and then I found a trailer that I re-sized for the boat also for $100.00. I picked up a 1985 7.5hp Mercury for $350.00. did some modifying to boat and had a cheap little fishing rig.

No Pictures handy, but i can tell yah I caught some of the biggest fish of my life in that little boat.

First boat that I ever owned was a thompson 14 foot woodie.Have had several tin and glass ones since and finally bought/built another woodie (avatar).I will never buy another tin/glass boat ever again!Woodies arnt for everybody but for me they are.Imust add that this is not meant as a put down of tin/glass boats but my own personal love of wood boats!

Do you mean, "Shoulda kept the boat INSTEAD?"
