Show Us Your Old Boat!

Re: Show Us Your Old Boat!

Here's one of my two...<br /><br />

<br /><br />She's a 1976, one year younger that me. Glastron V-195, Ford 302, Mercruiser #1 drive. Interior is all original including the carpet, but the Ford 302 in the engine box was reworked a couple years ago. The trailer is a 1974 that I completely rebuilt last year so it could ride in style.<br />Here's the other boat I own. It was our first boat. Wife deemed it a bit to bouncy for her liking, so we bought the 195 above. Soon after, I foud that almost every scrap of wood in her was rotten. She has been totally rebuilt now and is a great fishing boat. It is also a 1976 Glastron, but is a T-166 model: T-166

That scoots right along with the 18 on the stern. Quite nice, indeed!

I love that boat, Crazy_Amish. It has a unique hull that must attract a lot of attention. No problem with the photos.

My recently completed keel up restoration of a 1975 Starcraft American (in the foreground) and my "usable but needs TLC" 1964 Starcraft Seafarer in the background. <br /><br />The American has a 1981 Johnson Stinger 75 (with 1976 Stinger "Mean Machine" Hood - the 1981 hood has the base gasket rubber rotted off and I haven't gotten around to replacing it yet), and the tin can has a 1969 Johnson 20 at the moment (subject to whim).

I have two boats, both are 1987. Not sure how to get the photos.

Re: Show Us Your Old Boat!

Here's my last and first boat, a 1975 Forester 1600 with a 91 Evinrude 120. I sold it in July 2004. I bought it in I believe 1997 and set it up for barefooting. It was an awesome boat for learning and just plain ol havin fun!<br /><br />

Re: Show Us Your Old Boat!

My "old boat" is a 71 Slickcraft I use it for lake fishing on Lake Michigan. I pretty much went through the interior, elctronics and just about evything else for that matter but after all was said & done it works great for Salmon fishing.<br /><br /> <br />

Re: Show Us Your Old Boat!

Finally finished her. It took an extra week in the shop because dummy me forgot to check the safety lanyard switch.
I think she looks so much nicer in red.
