No pic from me, but mine's a 12' Tracker Flat bottom with a 43 pound Motorguide. I'm in the process of installing removable seat swivels and pedastals so I can still load it in and out of my truck.

KU, I used to fish from a waterscamp and caught some really nice bass out of it.  I used to fish a cove in Lake Palestine, TX.  These tourney fishermen would come screamin' in in their big boats and rip the trees with spinners, getting not a bite.  I'd follow up in my 'scamp and pull out nice bass with a t-rigged worm.  You learn to fish slower and be more patient in a little boat because of your limited mobility.

AND finally, WOW Glenn, that's a truly beautiful boat.  That's the best looking Ranger I've ever seen.

Thanks everyone for sharing pics or descriptions of your boats!!!

Everyone of them is sweet!!!

I love being on the water I grew up fishing out of a '69 starcraft 15' deep v with a 25 hp evinrude.

It was my granddads boat.

When he passed in 94 Grandma had to sale it to help pay for the funeral.

It was just this past spring that I was able to afford a boat of my own.

I've spent every weekend since mid April at the lake. And I can't hardly wait until next weekend.

Dobi, Those Old Bass Trackers are Nice Boats, My friend has a 1984 TV-17 and it is Great, Lots Of Storage.

yea, even later on in life when I can afford a better one(hopefully one day).. odds are I will still keep this for its reliability.  I bought it in August for $1500 and in 20 yrs assuming there is a good motor on it, it'll still be worth that

I'm getting ready to do some modifications to my boat in two weeks! I'll do a before and after pick then! I'll give a little low down on it now though. Its a 16' '97 Dakota jon boat that I bought "plain jane". I put decks on it, carpeted it, installed a livewell in it, the whole nine yards. The carpet is in dire need of replacing (part of the mod's) and I'm at a point now that I want to redesign the front deck (another mod). Its a GREAT little river/small lake boat! Don't think I'll ever part ways with it! I'' just need to get a glass one in a few years!   ;D

TC1,

Thank you very much. It is perfect for my kind of fishing, The Schuylkill River, Beltzville Lake and my once a year trip to Canada.

How fast did your crestliner go with the 40HP? I was thinking about getting a bigger motor. Before I do I want to make sure the MPH increase would be worth the extra fuel use. If I am by myself, with my big prop on, one fuel tank, no middle seat. It will do 25MPH.  With the smaller prop and a friend it will do 20MPH.

Ok here's my old Mckee Craft boat with a 1968 Mercury 500. The hull was a complete basket case when I bought it. I touched it up, painted it, put in a floor, front and rear platforms, carpeted it, installed center console, the old merc, steering, finder, trolling motor etc. It was a fun project and I learned alot doing it. It's been a fun little boat that actually moves right along. By spring Madhouse is going to be posting a pic of his new ride! ;D
