Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

Just found out for sure what mine is...

1965 Crosby 14 Sea Sled
1966 Johnson 40hp Super Seahorse Electramatic

Runs like a top, just having some gearcase issues. Decked the front for fishing, carpet, painted the inside, still need to paint the hull. Thinking of naming her 'Bathtub Gin'.

Took her out for for about an hour last night, a little moonlight cruise

We have a 1985 23 ft Cooper Prowler Cabin Cruiser and a 1987 J-Craft Intimidator Tunnel Hull. Both are in pristine condition and very classic in thier lines so they are pretty much timeless in a lot of ways. We'll be keeping both for a long time.
You really can't tell how old they are and they are both rare enough that no one knows what they are anyway :>)

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!

Oh Boy! That must be so satisfying.... I could use the same boat. Might look into the plans. Nice work.

50 hours is a lot of time, did that include beer drinking?

Here's my old brown boat.... 75 Crestliner with a 140HP OMC Stringer lower unit. My electric shift part broke inside the shifter, so now theres a toggle swith on the dash for F-N-R. Other than that it has given me reliable service, with religous lower unit oil changes.

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

I can proudly show off my running-on-the-water, new to me 1976 Yarcraft Yankee 15' tri-hull, powered by a 1972 Evinrude 50 HP. Sending fear into the hearts and minds of spotted bass and largemouth bass all over Lake Lanier. now reporting for duty!

For some reason those older tri hulls always catch my eye! I've just always liked those little "square boats".... looking at one now..... 79 Starcraft Tri Star with a 90HP Mercury.
