Very nice boat there 

TXSuperman - that is one sweet ride

2017 nitro

Just a basic 14 footer with a 7.5hp and trolling motor, but she gets the job done. I catch the same fish in my uncle's $20,000 boat lol.

LMAO!

I am 50 years old and my motto has always been, what is better than owning a boat? Having a friend who owns a boat ?

Well that ended tonight. I bought a used Pelican Explorer canoe. I am hoping to use it a few times before the weather turns up here.

It's turned.

 

Nice buy

My son and I we're able to take the canoe out on the river between rain showers this weekend. After an hour and a half of paddling I came to the conclusion that I want to buy a trolling motor for it. That's my goal before Spring next year.

Thanks Nut and Wayfarer.. 

I can't take credit for the idea... just my alteration to it. I tried to buy the original but they couldn't accommodate my request.. so I said to myself.. I can build it myself using PVC (they used aluminum.) Stability was the main reason... the rest was/is a bonus. It's awesome.. plus I can stand on the platform. All I need now is a fish/depth finder :-)

Here's my little guy.  Had it since April.  The list of mods I will do is a mile long!  It gets me where I need to be.  I caught my personal best out of this thing in June.  I love it.

Just picked up a Native..gonna be a long winter.

Here's my baby...2000 Bass Cat Jaguar with 225 Evinrude.

love the storage unit you keep it in………..wish my wife would let me keep mine in the house.

I haven't picked it up yet, but I just purchased a 2014, Towee Rivermaster. 16' long, 51" beam. I've been fishing rivers for the last few years, floating in my personal pontoon which I really enjoy. The problem was that in a day, a 6-7 mile float is about as long as you can do and the rivers I'd like to fish don't always have put-in and take out spots that are close enough together to make these floats possible. The shallow, rocky rivers prohibit me from taking my Ranger. A boat with a jet would be the answer. A friend was selling his 3 year old Towee which was designed for shallow rocky rivers. It's small enough to easily fit in my garage, and cheap enough for me to afford. The picture below is not the boat I bought. Mine has a Terrova trolling motor and I will be adding a 35hp Tohatsu jet outboard later this winter. Looking forward to the spring when I can get it out on the water.

 

Exact same reasoning I bought the Lund in the post just above yours. Is that made of fiberglass or some kind of plastic composite?

It's a fiberglass composite. Apparently, there is Kevlar added in for extra strength and durability to withstand the rock and gravel of rivers. The boat is kind of a hybrid drift boat/skiff/canoe. It weighs about 250 pounds, and will only draft 4 inches of water fully loaded,
