Howdy from East Texas

[k05aggie]

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.

The shark boat is so ugly that it’s cute. If that makes any sense.

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 !
