Hi All...Im new to the site so my first post is a pic of my "new" boat. It's a 1971 Starcraft Seafarer 16 powered by a 2001 Mercury 25. Hopefully next year I can repaint and modify it. Thank you for having me

Back in July my wife and I bought a new TIN BOAT!!!! 3/16" thick hull, it was built in 1995 by a custom boat builder in Louisiana. We actually went to his shop and talked to him, and he remembered building it because of the expensive paint job. All welds were ground and it was covered in Bondo and painted with an expensive epoxy paint.
Anyway, it's 21' and it's currently being referred to as "The Tub". It's going in for a new Yamaha 250, electronics, and a trolling motor in a couple weeks.

We found it in western LA and we hauled it to our place in Venice, LA
Here it is shortly after picking it up.

And off the trailer so the trailer could be worked on, and the boat washed up, inside and out.

Can't wait to get out on the gulf with it. This was a couple weeks ago on our neighbor's boat.

And my wife and I are looking forward to use it to catch more of these!!!

Hey any other Klamaths on the forum?

Previous boat was a 15' Klamath Advantage Side Console. Had a four stroke 25 Merc. I added a Humminbird Helix 7 & manual down riggers. I liked that boat a lot. We sure got a lot of use out of it and managed to catch a few trout.

I wanted a larger boat, so I traded up to a Gregor Sportsman 18' walk-thru. I like this boat a lot too! Lol. The layout is basically the same as your boat, but it has smaller capacities than the Klamath GTX.

Anyway, you did a nice job rigging your Klamath. That is a lot of boat and it is nice to see you get a little fish slime on it!
 
Thanks, It feels small at times in the salt of the Straight of Juan de Fuca. It was enjoyable doing the rigging and I know how and where everything is :D

The slime was from the Kokanee on a local lake

Oh boy, sorry to hear about the outboard shortage. A few years back we enjoyed spending some time in Budapest. It is a beautiful city. Especially along the river. We drove there from Frankfurt with stops along the way. So we got to see some of the countryside. Also, I love driving on the expressways over there.
 
Here's a photo of my boat, I added a kit to it. I call it frankenstein I think I was able to add the photoIMG_0887.JPG
