Show off your boats!

[4LowLocked]

I have seen so many of these posts for other activities, its time we started a boat version.

I have always been into powerboats but have never owned one myself. I am looking to pick up an older bowrider style or fishing boat in the next little while.

For now, I spend time on this - its my fathers retirement getaway.

22ft Sailboat with retractable keel for easy trailering.
Sleeps 5 adults down below
Also has a 50lb thrust trolling motor in addition to the 9.9hp outboard that runs off the batteries which are charged using solar power.

On the new tandem axel trailer - reduced the tounge weight from 550 to 370 and makes for a much more comfortable ride than the single axle it was on before last year

Cape Horn 17 with 115 2-stroke Yamaha. We use it for inshore and close-to-shore salt water fishing - mostly redfish, speckled trout, flounder, shark, etc. I've done a bit of work to it since these pics were taken. I've added a Clarion head unit and speakers, some underwater lights, rewired all the lights, bilge, and live bait pump, as well as some other stuff.

I'll eventually strip the stripes off, sand it down, and give it a new coat of fighting lady yellow down both sides...

Looks good Bamachem! I spent every summer as a kid a my best friends cottage on Georgian Bay (a bay off the great lakes in Ontario and Michigan which is as big as some of the lakes) in a boat almost identical to that. Great for fishing as you can move from front to back easily and we had even more fun getting towed on the toys behind it :)

Remember folks - boats could even be as small as kayaks, paddleboats and canoes :)

Keep them coming

Andy- glad to see there are some others on here that go for the flounder but you gotta show love for the redfish and specks. The wifes family has 2 center consoules in Louisiana for inshore and offshore fishing. Nothing like a big red.

My boat- 18ft Bass Tracker 75 Merc. (Good for what i do)
