My oldest boat is the one I use most. I'm guessing that it is about a 1963 and only know that it is a v-hull aluminum boat... probably a feather craft or alumacraft. The motor I've got on it now is a 1972 Merc 110 (9.8 hp). On the flat bottom boat that my son uses I've got a 1952 Martin 20 (2 1/2 hp).... don't have a clue what year that boat is either but got it registed as a 1970 12 ft flat bottom aluminum boat... looks like a Stearns to me.

Ive got a 18' meyers deep v here probably early 60s and it has a RED 50hp mercury on it. Not sure what year, but it sure turns alot of heads at the ramp when you back her in.

We won't count this one. ..My wood speed skiff (in my avitar) is late 1930's - early 1940's, with a flat head six 'Gray 109'. My glass speed skiff is 1969. --- Also have a 1927 Johnson K35 outboard.

Nice Crestliner;pretty location.I think Chinewalker probably has the oldest
I think a late teens evinrude.
I have a 57 18' Crestliner Buccaneer.with a 65 Merc 500.that I'll bet Chinewalker rode in at some point in his youth.

Got a Scott-Attwater 3.6 hp outboard from I think the 1940s. Have to put it back together and see if it will run.

Then we jump to a 1970ish Springbok tinnie with a mid-seventies Merc 7.5

I have a 67 Johnson 100hp outboard on my 83 Sea Raider. Gets all kinds of attention at the ramp. Still runs great!
