I have a second boat 1998 HydraSport 202 with a 225 Evinrude and a 74# minKota Maxxum Foot .

I probably would part with one of these. ;D

1997  17 ft. SS140 Skeeter stock setup with 115 hp Yamaha, 67 lb energy Motorguide,  Pinpoint 7420 on bow, Lowrance 47 at console.

I have a 2000 Procraft SP 190 with a 175 + on the back. Get me from here to there nicely. I don't know how to put pics on here or I would put one up. Sorry, I'm an 8 track living in a compact disc world. HA, figured it out....lol

Later,

I have a 1964 Crosby john boat converted with a front deck with a 25hp Merc. on it.  (pic in livewell thread)

Currently going to repaint it, add a rear swivel seat, live well, and lights. Maybe some new carpet. ;D

If you're in the market for a new boat check this out before you buy...2180 Bay Ranger.  It's comfortable, spacious and for a lot of guys, functional.  I am not a guide but if you are or if you fish with someone else or a couple of guys on a regular basis this might just be the ticket.  I fish for stripers in the boils of the Tennessee River,  drift for smallmouth and occasionally fish for largemouth on big water lakes.  It's not fast, but it's nice.

Not for sale, just got it last March. Sure like it for my kind of fishing and think other guys would too. I see more and more of the central consoles showing up in the region but they're still not an option most bass fishermen consider.

 2004  ZX 225 w/ 225 HPDI  Great ride, and will run 70 mph all day.  Best boat I have owned. ;)

11'3" KL Pro 120 with 5HP 4-stroke Briggs & Stratton and 46lb thrust  Minnkota.  It takes me 30 minutes to cruise from the ramp to the courtesy dock 20 yards away. >;)
