Re: Tri-Hull Club...Yes? No? Maybe?

Hello Fellow Boaters,I am brand new here,and Bought my very first boat,and found you guys,and this great forum.I also want to join the tri hull club,from what i understand is i have to post pictures to be in,so here they are (hope theres not a limit) =)
This is a 1977 Del Ray (atleast thats what it says on the title)

The Guy I bought it from said it originally had a 305 ci chevy that was worn out,so he replaced it with a 400 ci chevy.It has an edelbrock intake,and edelbrock carb,and purs like a kitten.He said it has the original 305 valve covers on it.

All the gauges work except for the "Trim" gauge.I am going to change the "Temp" gauge because i had it running for about an half an hour in my driveway,and it never hit 100 degrees (has a new Temp sending unit) that i installed.

Going to take it our for the first time for me on this coming up sunday,he said its very fast,I am going to take it easy my first time out in her =)
Oh,and i picked her up for $1200.00 and will be frequenting the Mississippi,and maybe the Rock River here in Illinois.

If anything, this "club" has solicited some pictures of great boats, so I'd say good on you forthe club. Has it been officially titled yet? if not, that could be an interesting thread.

Count me in. My trihull is 1970 Thunderbird Seminole. I am currently restoring it.

Does it count if she's in rehab? If so I'm in, I have a 15' Bonito with a 70hp Johnson year unknown.

Re: Tri-Hull Club...Yes? No? Maybe?

Man, they are coming out of the woodwork. Awesome. Yes it counts even in rehab. Welcome all the club, where tri hulls are plentiful and fillings are few.

Ok I'm in! Sold my 13.3 Whaler, and bought this 1980 17 foot Imperial. New paint and interior, just needs a starter on the original 75 horse Chrysler. It has the snapps for a mooring cover, but I can't seem to find one anywhere? Anyone got any leads on one? Would like to get one to snap on so I can leave it in the water without it getting full of rain and leaves and stuff. Also need to install a bilge pump, but all in good time!

Re: Tri-Hull Club...Yes? No? Maybe?

Good looking boat. You probably won't find a tarp for it. You will have to have one made for it. Welcome to the club.

Re: Tri-Hull Club...Yes? No? Maybe?

i posted my boat pics in here a few pages back but have remodeled it since then, so i thought i'd post more pics. you can never have enough tri-hull pics, right?!

it has been used for more skiing than fishing lately, but here's one good pic of us using it for fishing. this is at okhissa lake near bude, mississippi

Re: Tri-Hull Club...Yes? No? Maybe?

Nice fish! and nice setup on the boat, I like all the room you have to move around.

Hello all...

I just found this site and love it. I grew up on Clearlake, CA and have been around boats most of my life. But, I've never owned one myself, until now. I just got my very own first boat.

It's a 1978 Ranger Tri-Hull - So YEA, count me in da club. It has a 305ci Mercruiser I/O.

Re: Tri-Hull Club...Yes? No? Maybe?

Where in SW Ohio are you? I am in Hamilton, where do you like to boat? East Fork, Brookville, Ohio River?

I live in Dayton but I'm from Georgetown, OH. We mostly boat on the Ohio River near Ripley but frequent Ceasar's Creek on occasions. I've been on East Fork a lot but it's too small and always too crowded unless you want to go fishing in the wee hours in the morning.

Where do you boat at?
