Re: Show Yer Boat II

1986 16ft. PolarKraft with 40hp Evinrude. Not quite finished, gonna put in a few more rod holders and another seat or two. Really fun to work on! Added the decking, chair, paint, doors (to storage) and carpet. Couldn't be happier!<br /><br />the beginning:<br /><br />

Alden - great looking boat that you built. I have built two and neither one of them is in the same league as your's. My excuse is that I'm an accountant (retired) and not a carpenter. But I am improving and enjoy the process.<br />Who designed the boat that is shown here?

Our family lives just about 4 tenths of a mile south of the Skaneateles Marina. Looks like you were on the west side just north of ten mile point. I know every inch of that lake having been on it for over 40 years. BTW, nice boat.<br /><br />1990 Four Winns Freedom 195 175hp OMC Cobra<br />1999 13' Duranautic "Scoot" with a 99' 15hp Johnson (the little bullet that really moves)

This is my 1986 18' Winner Center Console (no one has ever seen one of these before around here) That's a 150 Mariner on the back that is undergoing a facelift!

Here she is at the ramp waiting to get out into Tampa Bay for some prop testing.

Re: Show Yer Boat II

Here's my first boat. Shot this last weekend. It is now my BIL's. Bought new in 1984, OMC 140 Stringer, I sold it to him in 1995. Head has never been off, doesn't use any oil. He just had the interior redone.<br /><br />

Re: Show Yer Boat II

I like to see all the older boats as well..especially all the tin...I sold my 1980 Grumman 4.6 ( bought it in '82 for $2500 sold it in '02 for $2500) and got the exact boat I have wanted and dreamed about since I started boating @ 12yrs old.:<br /><br />my 2002 Maritime Skiff 1890:<br /><br />

Re: Show Yer Boat II

My latest project. A 1978 20.5' Penn Yan Explorer Outboard. It is powered (at least for now), but a rebuilt 1982 Merc 150. Penn Yan is known for their tunnel drive systems. In their spare time, they made a few fantastic outboard models. This boat is a fishing machine. It has wide open cockpit like a sportfishing boat and it is built like a tank. This is the smoothest riding trailerable boat that I have every owned. <br /><br />
