I was reading the posts on first boats and it occured to me that mine was I think a Chevelet (more like 2) My father had welded a couple of 40's or so model car hoods together back when he was in school. It took me days to dig out of the barn, apon my discovery of it. I would drag it behind a tractor if I wanted to switch ponds or put it back up in the winter. It looked like a big fat cannoe and man, it was really heavy/ but nearly indestructable. You could go ether direction and we paddled it around with some homemade oars.

I'm using an old late 70's Terry bass boat w/ stick steering.I totally refurbished it.New outboard,TM,carpet,wiring,rod boxes,fiberglass(where it was needed),paint job.It looks different out there with all the fancy bass rigs,but it's beautiful!

I know the Terry name but I can't picture one in my head. I haven't found a picture of one yet. Does it resemble the Kingfishers somewhat. Didn't they come out close to the same time? There are several boats out there that would be neat to restore.

I finally found a picture of a 75 model Terry. Does yours have a tunneled hull? I bet it is sharp fixed up.  If that is like yours it has a unique style. We were looking at some property a while back and there was a boat parked on it like that, and somebody had converted it into an air boat. It didn't look factory anyway. They had chopped it pretty bad in places. Looked pretty good from a distance.

I love mine.Half the fun was fixing it up.It drafts pretty shallow ,and I can go where some boats can't get into.Yes ,it is similar to the old Kingfisher.As a matter of fact ,I had one but sold it for peanuts.Should've kept it.
