Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

looks like I may win this one, I recently bought a 12ft aluminum basstracker jon boat, which a lot of members told me not to do but I did anyway, turned out to be an unsturdy nightmare, so I sold it within two months of having it. Now I just bought a fixer upper. Ready for it? tell me if you've heard of this no longer existent company,


1957!!!!! Nylox which I just finished taking everything off of and am going to start painting tomorrow, will be posting pictures soon, and will be asking for help on paint removal for the inside as well as other fiberglassing help.

SO DO I WIN???

LOL, yes you did!!! But not because of your particular boat, because you OWN a boat, so you are the winner of......Hard work, late nights, empty wallet and much more of the same! Your real reward is every time you get to spend even just a little time on the water in your displacement device (boat) So that makes you a winner just like the rest of us! Have fun with the restore and take a bunch of pictures!

I couldnt have said it better myself. Specially the empty wallet part.. its been so much fun though working on the boat, never thought I would like it soo much. everytime I finish something small, its awesome just to look at it and think, one less thing to get done. Ive definately taken lots of pics (saving to post the restore from start to finish) and will continue to till im done. I just finished re upholstering the seats last night.

I have a 1959 Orlando Clipper 48-12 "speedster" that my dad bought new. Took it to the lake this morning.

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

1959 Crestliner Buccaneer
grew up with it, purchased it from my dad 10 years ago, and decided to replace the engine last fall
just got the new one on and started up last weekend, went from a very tired 1958 Evinrude Lark 35hp to a low hour 2000 Johnson 50hp
might need to replace my 35mph speedo....... :lol:

 

[wineslob1104]

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

1968 Sears 14 foot runabout (MFG). What's odd is the color, Tangerine, is shown in the 69' line up. Not sure what's up with that, maybe late 68' so it may be a 69 model "Carefree 144" seen in the old ad below?



The boat came from my wife's uncle who, because of health issues, didn't have time to do anything with the boat, so he kindly gave it to me. :happy:

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

Its cool to see some many folks with Boats older than twenty years. Mine is a 79 Glastron with a 175 out board Merc. I just took the carpet out and had some of that Bed liner stuff sprayed in it from a place here in Alb. No need for a new Boat just New Parts LOL.
