Re: Classic boat pic gallery (20yr and older)

1964 Starcraft Jet Star that I just finished making over in November. Makes it 48 yrs. old, but the outboard doesn't qualify, it's a 2003.

On the water:

Now that is a great lookin' boat, Lakelover! That red paint job has gotta be worth at least an extra 10 mph on the top end too. She belongs in a Starcraft catalog. Cheers. Here's my old tinny, a '59 (?) Arkansas Traveler, DUT-14 runabout turned vegetarian fishing machine. She's ugly, but brings me home every time (so far).

Yeah, red always goes faster! That's a great looking Arkansas, there's nothing like an old reliable boat to get you home every time.

Here's another one: 1972 Ouachita, not much to look at, but fun.

Fun is what it's all about. My boat is no looker, but I've left many a fancy vessel at the docks scratching their head trying to figure out how to start (or stop) their dream machines. Plus, no one ever asks them about their $50k big boy toy, but I always get at least one or two thumbs up, or inquires from the old timers at the boat ramp who remember running these old tinnies and two strokes back in the day. It really is true that the fun you have with a boat is directly inverse to its size. Little boat = Big fun; Now if it would only warm up a bit we could actually get out on the water! It was 29 F last night here in FLA. YIKERS!!!!!!!

Nice job - I hadn't read your thread yet, I've just been seeing the small pic in your signature. Great lookin' boat.

My 20 year old ('92) Chaparral 2550 SX Sport

She is still a "looker", if one likes the "old school" cuddy sport boats (like I do).

Thanks, southkogs, I'm really having a case of cabin fever setting in right about now, can't wait to start using it.

Went to the local warehouse-type store and bought a crap-ton of Magic Erasers and a couple gallons of concentrated Simple Green Replaced the carpet, but all the vinyl, glass & teak cleaned up pretty nicely. Bunch of elbow grease.
