1989 Ranger 361V with a 2000 Yamah VMax 150 HPDI.  I bough tth eboat used for a good price but ended up doing everybit of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on the boat an motor that wasn;t done in who knows how many years.  It took until this month (July 13) to get every thing firing on all cylinders the way it should be. I bought the boat in late March of 13.  She scoots along at at GPS'd top speed of right at 58 MPH with my best at 54.7 knots or 63 MPH.  I don't run it wide open though.  Had to rework a bunch of wiring, the Garmin GPS unit just went, the display will not work but the unit does.  If I jiggle the wires to the screen it will display intermittently.  Replaced ALL of the filters on the motor( to include 'Mystery filters), the LP fuel pumps, Spark Plugs, Water pump, PRV (poppet) valve, de-carboned the engine, lower unit lube to name a few.  Repaired live well valves back into operation (remote operated) and pumps, replaced wiring to front fish finder, re glued exisitn gcarpet in spots (waiting to replace all eventually).  There still is a lot of little work to do but nothing that keeps it from being operational.  After nto having a boat fro many years it sure is nice to have this one and not have th ehuge bill of a new one! (Although the wife was at the point of "one more repair and it's getting sold" luckily I got that under control with the new water pump!). 

 

Any way enough rambling.  I love fishing, especially bass fishing, I'm new to this site and making a resurgance to Bass fishing but have been fishing for more than two decades now.  Look forward to the site!.

Nice job, looks great! But I am curious what are those tabs that come up through the floor

_{Here is my 1959 Steury.  It has an 8lb, yes 8lb Minn Kota trolling motor and a 1952 Evinrude Fleetwin 7.5hp.  It's my first boat and as a 17 year old without a job, I love it!  It started off pretty crappy but I'd say I've turned it into my definition of nice, at least nice for me.  I still have to paint the outside black to cover up the nasty green.}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All carpet just like a Nitro Z-9

New to me 16.5' 1995 Skeeter 1650 with a Mercury 75 hp. I've used some nice hull cleaner from bass pro shops to remove the scum line since these pictures and have a nice coat of wax on it now. Next I'll replace the batteries and on board charger. Gotta remember to slow down and enjoy it from time to time! When she tags along, my girlfriend will tan on the back while I fish off the front. We love it.

With a screen name of war eagle, I'd figure you'd have a war eagle boat

I did have, but traded it in.

 

At a touch a truck event for a elementary school the kids loved the lighted rubber duckies in the livewell.

2012 Tracker 175 TF

 

Here is my new rig ...... traded my Alumacraft MV 1756SC for this new leftover 2012 Triton 19SE (19'9").   Nice setup with a bunch of XS options and a 225 Optimax Pro XS. The boat came with a Lowrance Mark-5X flush mount in console,  I added a HDS 7 Gen 2 Touch on a RAM mount at the console, a HDS 5 Gen 2 on a RAM mount at the bow.  Did a Structure Scan ducer and sonar ducer off the transom and a sonar ducer up front on the trolling motor.  Connected the HDS units on an Ethernet network to allow sharing the Structure Scan ducer, waypoints, ect. Also added a wireless access point and external GPS antenna.   

 

 

 

d**n! Almost didn't post mine after seeing Tate's but here's my lean, green fishing machine. It's a Raddison 12' wide transom canoe. It's good for me and 1 light person. With the outriggers we can both stand comfortably. I've got an old Min Kota 40# motor and a marine battery. It gets the job done. My 15 yr old daughter and I have had fun in it while she was up from NC for a few weeks.

Here's a recent shot that shows the deck of my Bullet.

looks good, mike. I may have to copy your outrigger setup on my canoe, i could use that while fighting the wakes at the lake.

It works great. Plus I can take each outrigger off with the twist of a knob or take the whole outrigger/dashboard assembly off by 2 different knobs.

I forgot the trailer updates. I still need to get pics of it undressed. Everything was shot a couple weeks back. Paint is done, boat also got new registration stickers that are not mailbox letters. It also got a new vin sticker from the manufacturer, new decals on the motor(after paint), new transom tied downs and a new trailer jack.

 

Estimated about $300 in restoration without the tools.

 

Looking good!

I remembered to get some pics last night. All I need is new carpet and some new lockers built in next spring.

I have the same boat. Mine maxes out at 50hp? Wish I would have got a bigger boat..

Here is my new modified ride.  I am attaching photos of the before and the NOW.  Huge difference but totally modified!!!

I have the original motor paint colors that Evinrude calls out, so I will be painting the motor shortly.  I was going to paint it gray/red to match boat but i think id like it to be the original manufacturer coloring.

here is a photo of the new

Are most of those hatches center hinged?  That's a good move, if so.  Nice looking!

here is a photo of the new

nice job

My first ride, which I still have, is a Jackson Cuda Yellow Jacket kayak. Purchased my second ride, a 2013 Pro Team Tracker 190 TX with a 115 OptiMax Pro XS new in July of 2013.
