Very nice. I'd have to have one of those if I lived on the water.

Here is my 16' Sylvan on the St. Johns River in Central Florida.

great looking boat

 

[Spoiled Daddy]

My two metal boats...

The big boat is a 05 Hewescraft SeaRunner, with the Extended Transom and hard top. Powered by a Honda 150 and Honda 15 kicker. Full array of primary and back up electronics. We fish this boat as much as 60 miles off shore in the summer for tuna, halibut, salmon and bottom fish.

The little boat is my new project and I haven't fished it yet. 96 15' Smoker Craft Alaskan. Purchased it about two weeks ago. Starting a retro so that we can primarily fish the local rivers in the fall for Chinook and Coho salmon. Will also make a great bay boat for crabbing and will be much easier to tow around to the Cascade high lakes in the summer for Kokanee and trout.

New guy here from Northern KY, I have a 1979 polarkraft 19.6' jon that has a 70 hp Merc on the back. She's a pig but I can ram pretty much anything I want to and not have to worry about it and running on the Ohio river can be dangerous at times. I put a new front deck on 2 years ago and this year I am thinking about doing the back deck with some side storage...

 

[fender66]

Welcome aboard bnt55. That's a really spacious boat you have there. Love to see some more pics of the inside....especially the before, during and after with the rear deck and storage.

Hi been a while since I have been on Just found my password. Here are a few boats I am working on Coconutfun.com. I like the older ones as they have been filled with everything from auto bondo JB weld to silicone calk. I strip them acid wash them then do a 5200 coat on all below waterline. Never had a complaint. I do ECO tours and fishing trips and the pontoon I am setting up for challenged folk with wheel chairs. Lots of fun watching them on their first boat ride.

here are some before and after pics when i first got the "river pig". I am going to go with an aluminum deck on the back for fishing as well as some seating across the width kinda like a bass boat style. Right now there just isnt enough comfortable seating to suit my wife

I have 3 boats. 2 of them were bought as projects. First is a 1984 Skeeter Starfire 18' bass boat. I knew it had a bad cylinder when I bought it. But I didn't know that the floor and stringers were rotten. So I pulled the motor(mercury 150 v6 xr2 blackmax) off and took it apart. Had the cylinders bored, put new pistons in it, I just need to finish putting it back together (never enough time for projects!). I bought the second boat, a 1980 Ranger 230v that had an evinrude 140 hp with a bad piston. I took it off and will be putting the blackmax on it. She will scream! The 3rd boat is a 1988 Starcraft All-Welded aluminum 16' jon boat. I bought it to do some actual fishing in. It came with a real good running 40 hp evinrude, but I found a real good deal on an 85 hp suzuki. I actually just tested it out today and and it runs great..
My wife is getting on my butt, she says our backyard looks like a dry-dock!
