Got done redoing the vinyl, gunwales, and controls. Now for the graphics, and the top (day after memorial day).

Just brought this baby home last night and dropped her in the big pond this afternoon.

Picked her up after selling my Aquasport 165 Osprey center console. Went to the dark side for a while with a glass boat, but got the tinboat bug and couldn't find a cure until I laid eyes on her. 2012 Polar Kraft 1578 WT sporting a 2013 Yamaha 25hp. Manual start, manual tilt. This particular outboard has yamaha's "tilt assist" feature and man is it sweet!

Used to own a 2003 Polar Kraft 164 SC and (stupidly!) sold it a few years back and have been on a tinboat hiatus ever since. It's good to be back!

Only modifications in the near future include installing some gunnel mounted rod holders for fly rods, wiring in some nav lights/switch panel and adding a fishfinder. Main use will be inshore striper fishing here in southern Maine, and fishing the sweetwater for trout and salmon on a few lakes here in Maine and NH. I'm in love with this boat! :D
 
This is my 14' Lowe v-hull with REALLY cheap Bimini top from Ebay.

MikeG81 » 01 Jul 2014, 22:57[/url]"]Here's an updated pic of the Springbok with the new motor on it. Plans for after the season are to replace the transom wood, then clean and paint the interior.

I absolutely love the look of your boat! It's classic, clean and there is plenty of space! Really cool.
 
1988 Alumaweld. It was used for years by the Sacramento fire department. I bought it at auction stripped. Found the used Etec and trolling motor, and cut down the light bar, to use as rod holders and pull my son on his wake board.

Found a new project boat while a friend and I were setting lines last weekend. We had noticed enough good spots and were about to turn around when we noticed about a foot and a half of it's nose poking up out of the water. We motored over to it and it wasn't stuck too solid so we hooked a line to it and put the little 10hp to work. As it came unstuck it just rolled over and righted itself and we tugged it for a little bit to get some of the water to run out.



We'd been having some pretty serious storms prior to this so I'm guessing it had been on the bottom for a while and got moved around when the river was way up. I'm thinking some hammer and dolly work, some transom wood, and a little outboard will be just the ticket to get this little jewel back on the water lol. Just kidding, we were running out of daylight so after checking it out for a few minutes we cut it loose to continue it's journey to wherever it's destined to end up. It did stay afloat for a while so maybe it'll make it's way to the ocean.
 
I just picked this up earlier this week, 12'. Already have some big plans. I'm not even sure what brand it is, there are no markings on it anywhere.
