Show yo' Boat

Just trying to kill some time until it gets cooler. Thought we could show our rides. Tell us a bit about it. Where you got it. How you like it. Upsides and downsides. Kinda helps us ID each other out on the water. Am sure it has been done before but people trade, swap, upgrade, downgrade and we get new people. I hope my ride is attached. A 1959 16 foot Herters Quebec with a 1966 electric start 20 HP Johnson. The motor I bought in Jacksonville, Fl. the boat came from Crawfordville, Fl. and the trailer is a homeboy. The good, cranks easy and cheap on fuel. The boat is very dry in rough water and takes it very well. The bad, no live well and limited storage. Wish I had a place to attach some rod holders. Doubt anyone cares. Possibly the only one like it south of the Mason-Dixon line.

'97 16' Carolina Skiff, 50 hp Johnson 2 stroke motor, and trailer. Dislikes...wish I had a 19'er for more room.:o It'll beat ya to death in rough water (flat bottom), didnt add livewell when I bought it. Likes...easy to clean, drafts extremely shallow, requires smaller motor than most boats so cheaper to operate (I put a 50hp on my boat which is rated for a 35 hp max.)

16 'Alumacraft powered by a 40hp Johnson. Since I bought it I added 2 fish finders, replaced the carpet, and added 2 outlets for night fishing.

This is the 22 year old boat that I reconditioned last year. I have added a couple of other bells and whistles since these pics were taken:

Super job Ronnie!!!!!!

See you on the lake.

Can someone tell me the reason for the pvc pipe on TNT's rod holders? Im sure there is a real good reason for them, Im just starting out on this crappie fishing. Thanks

used as up right rod holders while traveling between fishing spots as long as you don't have to go under low bridges or tree limbs!!! makes it quicker to get back to fishing after a move and less likely to tangle.....

that is a great idea. Thanks Shine Runner. How do you attach the pvc to the rod holders? I am assuming with twist ties?

You can stand your rods up in the PVC holders when you move from spot to spot. It is easier than laying them down each time.

The ones in his picture look like hose clamps like for radiator hose. Guess you could use heavy duty zip ties? Whatever you use, make sure they hold the pvc tight to the rod holders. I am still just laying my rods down in the boat, but I have a lot of room on my deck.

I Love my Tracker

I love my wife who let me buy the Tracker

I love the fact she loves the fact I will stay away all day if given the chance to fish on my Tracker.

and she thinks its great....

Did I mention I love my Tracker? :D

Like the LITEWIREHOOKS decals on the side of the boat. Got some new signs and will be mailing them out soon or when I see you again. Glad you liked the new hooks.

Pictures are not very good. The only camera I have is in my phone. Sure have enjoyed it so far. Its only 3 years old to me. The small picture is from when I bought it. It still had the TN registration numbers.

Here's my 17' Triton crappie addition, ive added a rod holder in back, dock bumpers on the side,, 35gl live well in front of the console, and two bait wells, one in front and a combo live/bait well in the back,,, rod holders everywhere..lowrance 510 on the front and a eagle 500 gps/FF on the console,,
Love this boat small enough to launch and run by myself but big enought to have room to invite friends and store all the junk I carry...I just about have it the way I like it...just about..:cool:

It's a V170T Outfitter, 2005 model I bought new in 2007. The motor is a four stroke 50HP Yamaha tiller motor. Sweet boat which has given me much pleasure. Now that I restored my Starcraft, the wife wants me to sell the G3, as the S/C gives her much more protection from the elements.

2003 Pro Craft Pro 185 w/ 150 hp merc. Since these pics, I've added a Humminbird 787c2 on the bow and Humminbird 998 SI unit on the console.
