44 years old! It's a Crestliner 14' in fiberglass. It had a new paint job for 2010. Have a Evinrude 40HP Lark VIII 1966 on it and it still goes to a top speed of 30-31 MPH.

I have a 1989 19.5 Maxum. 21 years old! BUT, we completely restored EVERYTHING, from the floor & seats inside, to new paint and cleats outside! SO it might be considered a 2009!

1987 Starcraft Medalist, 19 ftr. It's a nice boat & have had many a good time with it. But, it has an OMC Cobra for a drive. When & if I can afford to, I'm going to refit with an SEI unit & sell the boat. It's time to part it out as this season has been one long exercise in frustration. I'm at the point where I don't even want to board it, so off she goes, hopefully soon.

1979 Sea Ray 200 CC its pretty much a love affair....... tossed the 305 for a 350 and its solid as a rock, all original and in pretty good shape for 31 years old, just a good ole boat all around with no plans to get rid of it, have had it for 2 years now.

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

Just sold my "new" boat..'89 Chaparral Cuddy that I bought new at the Buffalo Boat Show in late '88. Kids are grown and the boat was too big for one person...it spent most of the time decorating my driveway. I still have my "old" boat...'70 Caravelle tri-hull that I've had since '77. 1970 115 HP straight 6 Merc. Runs good but I don't push it.

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

This one here is my pride and joy! She was born just about a year ago. Shes a Bateau design "FL12". Built this last year with my brother over the summer as a fun project to do in our spare time. Took just about 50 hrs to build and spent more money than we'll ever get out of her lol. But thats what happend when you love your hobbies. I matted her with a 1961 British Seagull Silver Century 4 hp outboard. Their a perfect match!

Picture is of my brother and I on her maiden voyage, Im at the helm and my brother is the one holding on for dear life =) Neither one of us really had any idea if she'd make it back to the ramp or not, hence her name "SS Hope it Floats" =) But she is a fine vessel and we've cought plenty of fish on her, some almost as big as she is!

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

1962 Glasspar Tacoma w/40hp Mercury, 1963 Starcraft (Jupiter?) w/ 70hp Johson, 1967 Starcraft Starchief, w/135 Evinrude, 1977 Starcraft Capri 17 w/90hp Evinrude, 1989, Duranautic 12' w/9.9hp Johnson, and a 60's 12' Sears jon boat (Lowes made and was last registered in 1964 when I got it), which has a 9.5hp Evinrude.

The '67 Starchief will soon be getting a motor upgrade since I just found a mint late model Mercury to hang on it in place of the mid 70's 135.

I figured I'd come back and update this list since a lot has changed over the past two years. The Glaspar Tacoma is sold, its motor now on a
1978 14' Duranautic, I sold the Starcraft Jupiter, sold the Sears jon boat, and sold the 1977 Starcraft Capri.

The new list now reads as follows,
89 Grumman 15' V hull - w/ 75 Evinrude - 25hp
74 Duranautic DN12 - w/ 73 Evinrude - 9.5hp
73 Starcraft Capri 17 w/ 95 Mercury - 115hp
70 Steury 515S 15' - w/ 79 Johnson - 55hp
67 Starcraft Starchief - w/ 89 Evinrude - 110hp
65 MFG Niagara 14' - w/ 86 Evinrude - 50hp
64 Duratech 17' Sportboat - w/ 1985 Johnson 70hp
