Show off pictures of your old boats ... pre-2000 peaches. whaddya got? after seeing some of the restorations and the boats that hold their value let's see if we can get a thread going with pictures so some can get all jazzed up for the upcoming spring boat buy, trade, swapping season.

here's the last two of mine ...
- a 1994/5/6?? can't remember Tuffy Esox Magnum
- a 1994 Ranger 690

edit: after thinking about this post i thought i should clarify the intentions of this post is to show pictures of boats. please don't try to sidewind the classifieds and keep it as intended! go directly to the site administrators if you have one for sale, and if you do have one for sale i recommend this site. it's where i posted and sold the tuffy pictured below. it was gone 3 weeks after i placed the add and in november/december!

That's my 15yr old granddaughter. The shot is really a resort shot for her mom & Nana so they could see what the resort was like, i.e., kid friendly. Xavier really loved jumping off the top of the building with deck on top and the water slide(resort workshop).

Have fun!

Thanks! Had her for a couple years now, don't regret the purchase one bit. Possibly looking to upgrade to a 620/621 in the next couple years so I can get rigged up for laker/salmon/musky trolling, but man is she a sweet set-up for casting up to three guys.

1990 vintage Lund Predator II. Not your average factory paint option though.

This was my custom modified green carpet (all they had in outdoor carpet in my town) Northwood Kingfisher. Note the removable rear casting platform. This boat was always a dog getting up out of the water and the extra gear made this no better but it was a great platform for working jerk baits. Also note the additional storage compartment behind the front deck, also in mean green carpeting.

Replaced her with a 1750 Fishhawk in 2004... I don't miss it yet...

It's a 2-part automotive paint; sprayed on. Nasty stuff to work with.

Here is my 1980 Sears Gamefisher.. I bought the boat for $500 and put in over 100+ hours of work into it. Working livewell, 24v electrical with fusebox, bilge pump, re-did the entire trailer..etc.. We have a lot of smaller lakes in SE PA so this boat is perfect for the lakes I fish.. Here is the slideshow of the restoration..

Here's pix of my first boat. Older Sea Nymph Pike Attacker. Can't remember the year. Early to mid-80s I think. Restoration project that I did myself at home in the garage.



And then my current boat...a '97 Crestliner 1750. Great boat for my needs and the size of the lakes I fish most often, ie, anything from 60 acre lakes to 8,800 in-land lakes to I'll take it out on to Lake Michigan for Salmon and it does great out there in the 4 footers...5 footers is probably the max to play it safe with.
