Plenty of deck space, a place to sleep but a real beatch to launch at some of the ramps I go to.

I had forgotten about that!!  Fun times... I'm just glad my boat was on the trailer, not in the next slip. ...lol

Out of the 4 boats here my favorite has to be my old (110% restored) 1975 17' Ebbtide Bass Bandit w/ 70 hp Evinrude. It gets anywhere I need to be and seems to be effective ;)

Thanks :)

I bought that Ford to just haul my boats. It has a whole new drivetrain all the way through leaf springs and leveling kit (new Rock Crawler wheels since that pic).

That boat looked like this when bought:

I did a hull up restoration + Garmin 178c gps, Garmin 160c in front (now), Aquatronics am/fm/cd w/ 4 infinity 6 x 9s, new pumps w/ timers, 12 gallon tank, dual batteries, new storage boxes, all new wood, seats, new trolling motor, etc..... It runs about 35 kts on the gps. The trailer was done the same way.

It was a lot of work but well worth it to me. :)

I have one as well. It's been sitting for years but it served me well in its hay day.

Badhabit, it outstanding Dude with a stereo to Sweet, I like restorations rather it's boats, cars, or trucks; nothing like a personal touch.

Thanks Catt,

There was a little more than just me enjoying the work (and I love it also). The original buyer/owner (in the pre-resto pic) passed away and his son wanted to make sure the boat went to good home. So I did the best I could to insure that happened. His son has since said that he knows his father has a big smile on his face up above every time I launch it.

Maybe that's why I've boated close to 30 that have weighed over 8 lbs in it this year ;)
