Thread: The boat

Man, that looks good! I had a '69 Crestliner 14.5 same paint scheme with a 18hp Evinrude for 30yrs ; just sold it last year. I had 2x4 runners with one roller up front and guides. The guides made it easier to load by hand, ya might consider fenders to that'll keep it from rubbing.

That looks awesome! A bit of experimenting and you will have the trailer figured out.

Nice job and a very versatile boat.

Looks good! I've got a 1950 something Crestliner that I put decks in, added a live well, bilge pump, live well recirculate pump, floor boards, rolling lights, Anchor Mates, and carpeted. It's hauled hundreds of pounds of fish over the years but I haven't had her in the water in a few years. The 25 Evinrude needs the rope pulled to see if it'll turn or if it's stuck. Been fishing out of the glass boat for 4 years now.

Really like the way that looks! You'll figure out your routine of how to fish it with time. Everybody does with the more trips you get on the water.

Thanks fellas

I would add fenders mainly to protect your beautiful boat from rock chips.

Guide ons are a necessity in my book. You have built a nice looking rig and it should serve you well. Those old V's ride so much smoother than a flatbottom and that is big in my book.
