V-8 four runner handles towing a 18-20 foot boat with ease. 5,000lb towing capacity.

Thats a very nice looking merc   

Thanks. There are actually two mercs on the transom. There is a 9.9 pro kicker on the port side behind the main motor.

Looks new to me. If didn't tell the year I probably would have never known or guess it. Goes to show what TLC can do for you! NICE!

Here she is.."J's Luck", 2001 Smokercraft 161 Contender, 40hp Mercury. This pic was taken the day I first spotted her, sitting in front of a house way, way out in the country in Central Mi. After putting it off for years, I finally went for it...My first boat. Were extremely happy together.

MSPbass, that Fisher is freaking sweet ! I love the layout ! Normally, I don't care for consoles... but that one looks pretty minimal. Love that deep-V.

Andy, that G3 is sweet too ! I guess that is a modified V hull ? My buddy had a Tracker with almost the same hull, and it took big water surprisingly well.

I have to be honest, every time I see a boat (especially a G3) just a little bigger / more motor than mine, I always start to question my decision, as I could have had any G3 I chose (not totally free, but for a stupid low price) and yet I chose my little 14 ft'er. The guys at G3 probably thought I was crazy ;) LOL

I think they even had your boat available with a camo finish, which would have been a must have for me.... but that matte green looks great too.

Peace,

Fish

Yea it's a mod V. It has more of a bass boat set up than there Jon boats do. I actually just got it last week so haven't had a chance to hit the water yet.......rain, work and such but it won't be long. I don't know if your that crazy for staying small.I think one should fish out of what works for them and not a large boat just so your thingy looks bigger B). I had a chance to get a larger boat than what i went with but for the type of water i have around me ( alot of electric lakes and a river that runs pretty shallow in alot of places) a 16' jet works well me for.

i suppose ill join in.. owned a pond prowler and a 14ft jon boat.. both projects that ended up being sold after they were water worthy.. sold pelican just because... got jon boat but my blazer i was driving at the time was such a POS i needed 2 people to go fishin cause you couldnt launch boat alone cause parking brakes were so bad. even after replacing all parts and cables and adjusting.. just to much of a hassle.. still waiting on money for a kayak.... but for now whenever i got a partner i can just drag this 15ft canoe out... does just fine

i just love being able to paddle into some ofthe places i have with this canoe. where no boats or pedestrians can get to.. creepin up on ducks and got 5-6ft from a huge vulure a few days ago that was nesting up on a rock ledge right off the water. pretty awesome stuff

Oh man, thanks FC! I've had her for a few years and love that ride. I did what I could to pretty her up, but now the motor needs some additional work. ($$$) That should probably be done before I add a sonar, but I'm not sure when either will happen. For now, my over the side Fishin' Buddy does its job. And yeah, it is pretty minimal. Beautifully minimal! All aluminum decks too. No wood.
