It seems with times getting tighter more and more prople will be holding on to that old boat they own. My question is How old is the boat that you own currently?

1979 Chaparal 187

Which one? Our oldest is an 1896 St. Lawrence Rowing Skiff. That one is looking even better these days, as it is fume free... We also have boats from the '30s, '40s, '50, '60s and '70s. Nothing newer than 1976, though...

1992 Wellcraft Eclipse 216 with the 5.7L Mercruiser. First boat we've owned. Great shape and runs perfect. Very solid and stable. Have never regretted buying her... well maybe when I was replacing the shift cable :)
