Re: Takin a break

Here's my baby... Long and ongoing project... Almost there...<br />from this almost two years ago... The attack of snapper with the sawsall...<br />

<br />getting there, new stringers, floor, and cap (or top)<br />

<br />to where it is now, still not "done" but she floats and runs under her own power.. <br />

<br />My little boat's around here somewhere...

My baby is an '81 Skeeter SS1 (16.5') with a Johnnyrude 88SPL (1988 or '89 I believe). Runs great and will hold a lot of deer, er, uh, I mean bass! Well, whatever the season is ...

Re: Takin a break

Mellowyellow.. It's a straight inboard (no outdrive).. Hooked up to a 302/5.0 efi ford and Borg/warner trans that runs a straight shaft, prop, and rudder thru a "tunnel"... <br /><br />That ain't no flats boat there.. Needs at least 2 1/2 feet just ta float.. It's a full on offshore fishing machine...

Re: Takin a break

WELLLLLLLLLLL.....since I got in on the tail end of the excitement (whatever that was) AND....since we is talkin' boats.....<br /><br />Bought my first in 72'. 16' StarCraft Super Sport wiht a 65' (I think) 40HP Rude. Boat was brand new. That boat made numerous trips to the Canadian North lookin' for Walleyes and Pike. Sold it twice (which is a different story). Had a 105 Chrysler on it and a 50hp Johnny....at different times of course. It's still going strong as I know the current owner.<br /><br />Also had an 18' fiberglass, heavier than the Titanic MFG trihull. Smooth riding boat. Had different engines on it. Also did a couple trips north with this boat.<br /><br />My current boat, also a 16' StarCraft Super Sport, (can't help it, just love the hull) has a 90 Rude on it and scares me from time to time.<br /><br />Also got a toon. 18' Bass Buggy from Tracker. This was she herself's idea. Wanted more room for the rug rats. It's got the 50hp Johnny on it that was on the 16' StarCraft. All in all....if she wants fast...I give her fast...if she wants slow and comfy...I give her slow and comfy. I like'm both.<br /><br />Now if we only had some decent Summer......
