Howdy. My fleet currently includes:

1957 Crestliner Explorer 16' with an '80's Johnson 50hp
We have been running this boat for 4 years, a couple dozen hours per year. Great boat. Like it so much that 6 months after I got divorced I bought it back from my ex for double what I had into it.

1958-ish Sports Kraft Cruiser (no motor yet)
The shark boat is my current project and is posted in another area for help with ID'ing it. I have an Evinrude 60hp Etec that I plan to put on this one. The shark was painted on a whim one evening. I planned on a Texas flag theme, but after my kids saw the shark they insisted that it remain a shark.

1959 Texas Maid Fiesta with a Flying Scott 60hp
This was an unplanned project bought a week after the shark boat because it was too good of a deal to pass up. I have not done much to it yet, and it is not running.

That Texas Maid and Flying Scott bring back many memories from my younger days working at a marina in the 60's. Very cool looking boat....once those Scotts were fine tuned, they could almost fly !
