Default Post your Boat

With everyone talking about picking up boats, myself included. I thought it would be nice to see what everyone else is running.

Default newest old boat

This is the latest watercraft to my collection, I look forward to learning the art of kayaking this season.

I also have a small 12ft aluminum with 4 and a half horse kicker. And a caddis float tube.

I'll chime in on this one.

Me and my dad decided to buy one from the states. We'll be getting it this summer and I've been dying waiting on it.

She's not huge or fancy but she's mine and I can't wait to get on the water

Mine is a 16' Outlaw Lynx.With nothing but a 175hp merc. and a steering wheel, this is just right for running the Oldman River.With a full top,I have cots I set up for over nighters on the river.There is 1 1/2" of teflon, 1/2" of alluminum and 7 stringers in the hull. Gets me to spots that are fished by few people.

And here is my very first boat 30++ years ago. My son and I restored it last year and put it on a new trailer. I've owned several since but just have to keep the 12 footer.

1989 15 foot invader with a 110 Johnson. Nothing fancy, but gets us out on the water and starts every time you turn the key...

Here is my rig.

I have added a 24 volt minn kota vector transom mount trolling motor since this picture.

I will be doing a bunch of work to it after this coming open water season. Hopefully the whole console set up will be gone and I will be steering with a tiller handle from the back. I am also thinking about sanding down and repainting the sides of the boat and putting new decals on it.

This is my third boat and probably my last. Cannot wait to get out on the water!
Use it for walleye tournaments mostly.

It would probably be a lot easier and maybe even cheaper to get it wrapped. They can do pretty much anything you want these days and they look great.

Yeah center consoles waste space, add weight and do not have the same control as a tiller. You can buy outboard jets up to 150-200 now with tillers cause people have figured that if you want to turn NOW the tiller does it. Spinning a *&^%$$& wheel does not.

Got this one last summer. Tried it in Rupert Last fall and worked like a charm. Can't wait to get using it this summer.

Diesel heater works great and burns nothing for fuel. Really impressed with it at Prince Rupert even in some pretty heavy weather. Koot and Min would be great. Trying to get to the Kootenay to fish next week but not workin out so good.
