This is my 2007 Triumph 195DC, a 20 foot Deep hull fish & Ski. We bought this boat because we wanted something that would be useful for fun activities like skiing and tubing and we wanted to fish too. We take it to the beach at least once a year and we needed a Sea Worthy craft so that over rides the bass boat. This one has handled 6 foot seas a couple of times and never missed a lick.

Equipment: 150 Yamaha 4 cycle, 6 rod holders, Min kota 52 lb. thrust troll (Not Pictured), LOWRANCE LMS-522C iGPS, Midland Marine VHF w/GPS capable, Lenco Trim Tabs, Live well and builtin coolers x2.  The 2 rear seats lift out to give more room in the rear to fish!  

Best thing about this boat is that it cleans up so easy after a bloody day on the ocean and has plenty of room to move around. Has a draft of 16 inches so I can still get in pretty shallow waters.

    Got my first boat (not counting old jon boat). '18 Crestliner VT 17. Lots to learn, for sure.     

  • I finally have my first "real" bass boat.  Up til now I've been fishing off just about that anything that floats besides a bass boat.  Kayaks, coleman crawdad, a 25foot cobalt, but never had a bass bo

Great Rigs Everyone!!

I need a boat :'(.

So many times i have looked and thought "If only i had a boat..."

I know a good dealer here in Charlotte that will sell you one. Probably real good deal with the current conditions!  

Great boat. I had one like that for a couple of years until I loaned it to my bestest friend and it go gone. Got gone never returned. I guess someone needed it worse than I did. Insurance helped me get another one that was smaller. Older and a pain in the butt. I sold it and got a pontoon and now my Triumph.

Anyway, I love your boat! Does it have a drawing of a island with a palm tree on the wall just to the starboard side of the transom? If it does call the Police and report it as a stolen craft!! If not then enjoy! ;D ;D

We don't have big TVA sized reservoirs around here. I fish smaller electric-only lakes, tidal creeks and rivers and swampy lakes. My ride works great in those places.  This is an older photo.  I've removed that dumb back seat and decked and carpeted the rear bench.  

Wow,  Those are all great looking boats.  I think the all electric boats are cool.  It is good they have good optiond for those places that limit access of gas engines.  The others are great too.  Thansk for sharing!

Then here's another from my second trip out last year with the truck.

Here she is,

1984 Bayliner 1710 Fish & Ski, 85hp Force outboard, Two live-wells, trolling motor.  May not be new but sure is fun!  I've learned a lot working on this boat over the last couple of years. I have replaced the front deck since these pictures.  I am currently replacing the rear casting deck trying to get ready for Spring.

Here's my new baby. 2008 Triton 18 X2 with Mercury 175 Pro XS. Lowrance 520c in the dash with X135 in the bow. Currently had her up to 70.0 and that was quite different than the 36 I was used to going in my old boat.
