Let's see your boat

[1900_LE]

Hey fish guy,

Is that a new HD lowrance unit??? Drool, Drool..

On a second note. And for anyone who owns a G3, how do you like your boat? They are very reasonably priced boats and i would like to get an owners opinion of them.

I've got a G3 172T with a 75hp Yamaha. Just bought it this year (it's 08 model). So far no clamplaints. VERY easy on gas with the 4-stroker. Be trying it out on Winnie the 1st of June. Put the new HDS 7 with insight on last weekend, but haven't tried it out yet. Probably tomorrow.

Hey PDOGG

How do you like that trolling motor on back? I have been looking at them and haven't been able to find anyone around here that has one.

Thanks

Hey Craigums, No need to be embarrased. It wasn't long ago that I was in my 12' 1960's Alumacraft with a '70's 9.9 Evinrude. I made my modifications to it, ripped out the benches and put in a plywood carpedted floor and two pedestal seats. I still have it at my parents house! I will tell you when I got over the embarressed feeling. I was fishing the big Metro Muskie Tournament in I think 2001 or 2002. I was on Bald Eagle and I landed my biggest muskie at the time and almost to date at 46"s. The part about it for me was when I had to flag down another boat for witness measure and signature. The closest boat to me was a brand new Ranger Comanche something with a huge Evinrude hanging on the back. After getting my fish in a hand me down 12'er verified by the people in that $40k boat and me placing in the top 10 that day put the embarresed feeling out the door. Be proud in having a boat, any boat!

Very well said! It took me 48 years to get the boat I have today.

I have nothing but good things to say about the Opti-Max so far.

And Bus33 the Vantage is VERY nice I don't think I will ever be without one from here out. Only issue I have had is a steering shear pin break cuz I left it down and took off with the big motor. But it was any easy fix.

Ok I might be the only person here that has a "Wards Sea King" Im a little bit embarrased putting it up against the Rangers and Skeeters but it floats.

Nice low payment and good on gas, Eh.

This is my first boat. Picked it up Monday. 16' 45h.p. Honda 62# Minnkota w/autopilot. Need to add my own electronics though.

Let's hope this works.

That's a really nice first boat. Congrats.

[Deitz Dittrich]

I agree with Sandman.. wow, great first boat.. beats the heck out of my first boat!

My first boat was a 12 footer that I copped from Father in law - and a 6 horse motor I bought for 125 bucks that rarely ran - I bought a small trailer for it - slapped on my FL 6 on the back and I was good to go. I'm a big guy and remember standing up in the back - pitching jigs in shallow cover - missing a fish - the jig flying out of the water from the set - and me flipping backwards out of the boat into the water...

Oh, the memories...

[Deitz Dittrich]

LOL @ MM, at least you had a motor.. my first was a sevelor inflatable, and I sat on the back with swim fins... I was pretty weedless though, and rarely ran out of gas.

[srj]

Just about ready for open water. LOW, Rainy, Winnie< ML and the Bemidji lakes are where it spends most of its float time--stop by and compare notes if our paths cross.

Hopefully the photo posts!

Yeah... me too Deitz. I actually had two different Sevylor inflatables: a 3 person and later a 4-person Fish-Hunter. It was a big deal for me to have those boats as a kid. Of course, I at least had a trolling motor (little 20 lb MotorGuide), which was better than a paddle...

Here's my current boat... bought new at the beginning of last year. 2007 Lund 1425 Classic SS; 40 HP Merc 4-stroke EFI. First boat I ever owned with a console...

O.K. this is getting frustrating. Hopefully this works!
