Re: What kind of boat(s) do you own?

24ft Mako with twin 115 Johnsons, 20ft SandPiper Pontoon with 70 Johnson, 18ft Thunderbird Formula with 165 Mercruiser I/O, and a couple John boats and Canoes. Pontoon is by far most pleasurable.<br /> Personal observance after about 40 years of being around water and boats; (Boats are like women and swimming pools, the best one I was ever in belonged to someone else). More fun and a lot less expensive than my own.<br /><br />Keep the Bait in the Slick.

Re: What kind of boat(s) do you own?

My first boat was a Glastron Aqualift with a manual start Merc. 50. Motor fell of transom.<br />Then I bought a Bayliner (sunk it). <br />Next was a 42' Carver Aftcabin with twin 454. Only boat I named, "Moneyhole".<br />Presently I own a 18'76 Starcraft with a Evinrude 150 hung on it, restoration in process. (gonna float it today for the first time. If I forget the plug or anything else, you will read about it in the stupid things post) and a 15' 73 Sea Devil bassboat with a 35 Evinrude just completed restoration. The bassboat is for sale.

Re: What kind of boat(s) do you own?

Couple months ago I was in a Grady 204c W/A with a 98 Evinrude 150. She was a tough old boat but rode wet in the ocean. Found and 1988 23' Winner W/A with twin 140 Johnsons. Has all the goodies like hydraulic steering and trim tabs. Been very good boat so far, rides dry in waters to 5 feet. Only complaint is fuel economy really seems poor. Last two trips offshore where basically chunking trips for tuna with very little trolling and found fuel averaged 1 mile per gallon or slightly less. <br /><br />I saw two of you fellows, "droMac" and "wesal1" both have twins on similar size boats. One a lot bigger and one a little smaller. How do you guys fair on fuel? Anyone else with twins, I would love to hear.

Re: What kind of boat(s) do you own?

My boat rig has been good to me:<br /><br />1967 16 foot double eagle<br />1989 55hp suzuki manual start commercial outboard <br />1989 6hp johnson kicker. <br /><br />Double Eagle's a Canadian built boat - they still made much the same hull today -- a big deep v. Great boat for salt water and the manual start motor is great because I use it a way up the coast where jump starts can be hard to come by. It looks normal but underneath it is a loud obnoxious 2 cylinder motor designed to go on back of herring skiffs -- the tiller's been removed.

Re: What kind of boat(s) do you own?

Purchased my first boat in 1980...had no wife, no house, no kids...just my El Camino pull it. I was in heaven..<br /><br />1980 18'Beachcraft Mako Cuddy w/ 305 ci MerCruiser 1 <br /><br />Recently finished a 3.5 year complete restoration (don't ask me why) which included upgrading to a 350. She's in excellent shape...looks very nice...goes like he11...but still rides like crap. Lousy hull design.<br /><br />My second boat is a 1994 14 ft. Klamath aluminum v-hull powered by a 1994 Johnson 15 hp. My kids and I love that boat...<br /><br />Walt
