Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

1988 Bayliner Bass Trophy Boat 18' (17' 10")
This has been a great project.

When we bought the boat it had 2 owners and they both stored the boat in the garage.
So we are the 3rd owners and storing it in our garage

1972 12' Sears gamefisher. She was a restoration project and needed much work, but was very satisfying and much enjoyed. HAPPY BOATING

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

1986 Starcraft 16' Utility. She does me well for my needs. It is actually a running joke with a friend of mine. I'm launching at an unimproved ramp on an electric only 300 acre lake Muskie fishing. Guy pulls up with a nice Lund. He gets out and starts saying how old my boat is. I just blow it off, but the old guy reiterates it 3 or 4 times. Later on my friend meets me on the lake and i'm telling him about it.
Even later in the day, same guy goes right around me to get to a honey hole we all know. He scratches. as he is leaving the cove I try my luck. Got a 42" pretty much right behind him, the second I got that day after the ribbing earlier.

Wish that guy would show up at the ramp again, I could use another nice fish.

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

Not Sure, It was just advertised as a 20' Cutter, likely early 70's based on the Engine, just bought it at an auction, in Barrie.
If anyone can help me narrow down the Age, I'd appreciate it.

Does the Serial number on the Engine, provide a clue to the Year of Manufacture?

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

Wow! I'm amazed at how old the boats are that you all have, but I'm not surprised. I could be wrong, but my 1989 30' Sea Ray Weekender is a beaut and is built better than the newer contemporary boats of today.

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

Current rebuild is a 1993 GW Invader Bravo 200 ES, 1970 Wellcraft (19'), Slickcraft 235 cuddy in the mix, and stalking a 1978 Checkmate Inmate 17 at the same time. All one at a time.... or at least I keep telling myself.

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

1960? crestliner is what title says but that's not what it is. I believe it's a 60's montgomery wards sea king sea venture with a 58 gale 35hp buccaneer. currently getting repainted.
