Here's mine sitting in the driveway when I got back from Afghanistan a few years ago. Wife bought it for me as a suprise. And let me tell you, I sure was. Both the boat and the wife are running strong, and I still enjoy both as well.
1542 Tracker LW, Trailstar trailer, and 15hp Johnson pull start - fantastic combo.
well i dont have a picture of my first aluminum boat. it was 14 ft galaxy from 1960 or so with an old evinrude 18hp fastwin it looked similar to the green boat pictured.i couldnt tell you how many fish i caught from it.then i got into the glitter rockets. now im back in a tin rig. its a starcraft
This is my first tin. 1968 Buddy boat. It was passed down from my father-in-laws dad (wife's grand-dad), to her uncle, to me. I had stripped down the old paint on the boat and trailer, put a floor in it and a nice Johnny 9.9. In that bottom picture, my dads fishing vest is hanging off the front seat.
Wife's grand-dad is in the nursing home with Alzheimer's and Dad has passed. Of course now I am regretting getting rid of her.
This is my 1976 Starcraft Mariner 16 foot that I bought in 1979. I replaced the 35 Evinrude with a 30 Johnson in 1991. In 2015 it developed a stress crack so I have replaced this boat
I have the same engine, well almost. Mine is a 1989 48 Johnson. I haven't had it in the water yet. Any engine tips, good or bad, that I should address you can share?
Mine is just a 10' topper, I received it with not a screw on it that the maker didn't put on her. Well it's almost ready for her water trial (post fixxin' up) and I'll take pix then.
