Hello, my name is Ldubs and I'm addicted to tin boats.

My name is Airshot and I have been addicted for over 60 years, nothing has been able to help, that's why I am here ..

 

[Crazyboat]

Hello, I won't say addicted, but I do have a love for them. My first (like most) was a tinner, what great memories.

 

[Stand Up]

I'm a member of Tin Boats Anonymous. Unfortunately I fell off the boat and that's why I'm here. I'm trying to get my dunking under control.
Hello everyone.

 

[FuzzyGrub]

I sold my only fiberglass boat and now have eight tin boats!

I can quit anytime I want!

When I was 3 my dad bought a 1966 Lund C-14 Fisherman--brand new. He named it "Maromist" using the first two letters of each of his four son's names.
I learned to fish in it. I took my HS buddies fishing in it. My nieces learned to ski behind it. As my dad aged, I took him fishing in it. He can't get in it any more so I wheel him onto my brother's pontoon to fish, and that old Lund is mine.
I could buy nearly anything on the market but that tinny is the only boat I'll likely ever have. My friends love it almost as much as I do. 57 years of memories in that boat--an upgrade would have none of those features.
Sometimes I envy live wells, rod storage, high speeds and roomy decks. But not for long.

Hello!

Hi there! When I was 13 my uncle gave me a old 10ft sears jon boat and the rest is just a blur!

or just deny that it is your problem, by justifing it.

Four are hand me downs: 10' rowboat, two 17' canoes, and 14' Starcraft. The Starcraft will go to my bother, this year,

The G3 is my sons, but I get to do all the maint, etc.

Leaves me only three: 14' Fishmaster, 1648 DMI, and pontoon.

That sounds about normal, to me.

 

[flatheadsteve]

I must confess I've been considering selling my 1436 polarkraft...but only if I can find a 1648 with a outboard jet first.

I'm not reading any desire for recovery from anyone, including myself.

Same for me. My boat was purchased by my Dad in 1986. I could afford something bigger, faster, nicer, but I won't do it even with its limitations. I enjoy working on it as much as I enjoy fishing out of it. Not very logical, but satisfying to the core.

I had a 1955 richline that I rebuilt with a 1950 evinrude 15 on it. really loved that boat. Then I got a different van without a hitch and had to sell it. bummer!
Rebuilt the motor and the gas tank too

Try and find a hitch for a 1995 Oldsmobile silhouette!

Over the years I have fabricated many bolt on light duty hitch recievers, not really that hard if your staying below 2000 lb cap.

 

[LaqueRatt]

Still got a tinny, probably going to have a pal soon, but have to admit I've crossed over to the dark side. *hanging head in shame*
