How many people have boats or PWCs on here? My friend, and I, take his Kawasaki jetskis out on the lake in the summer. Right now we are in the process of re-boring the cylinders .5mm over, not for more power, because its had a hard life. It is a 2 stroke 2 cyl 650 cc that's only one out of the four that he has

I have an 18'10' Xpress Bass boat, 14' jon boat, and a 14 v hull creek boat. The Xpress has a 125 Mercury for power, the creek boat has a 9.9 Johnson, and the Jon boat has a pair of oars and a 35 Min Kota troller I just use it on our pond.

Xpress makes a killer boat. I have the hd22sc for duck hunting and fishing. It's like a 4 wheel drive in the marsh. 115 merc with a jack plate. And a mud buddy blind.

Between my father and me we have too many other boats. Not a lot of money tied up so we keep them. 10,14,16 foot John boats. Two flat bottom canoes. 4,10,20,25,35 hp outboards.



Sold my friends wave runners last year that lived at my house. Getting old I suppose.

I got an Old Towne canoe, does that count?

I've had 5 boats over the last 15 or so years ranging from 18to 30ft. I've settled on a 25 hydrasport center console at this time as the best all around boat providing a healthy balance between cost/maintenance and utilization. I got into boating in my 20's after my family had sold our country house. This past year my father bought 80 acres upstate, I purchased a mahindra 8560, dusted off my AR15, bought a CZ455 varmint, renewed my hunting license and started reading about predator hunting, specifically coyotees and all of a sudden I find my boating intrests waining. I'll give her one more season and then make a decision on sell her or keep her.

That makes sense. I have a 1950s evinrude outboard trolling motor called the mate 1.5hp got it for 50$ and had sat 5 years. It's fun to put an a John boat and putt around the pond

I've had 4 boats (3 outboard and one inboard) and 6 PWC (including the 3 I currently have that are listed in my sig). I even have 2 sailboards for when I want a real challenge but a quiet experience.

I had six aircraft carriers that I rode around the world a few times, do they count? Even stopped a few places to do some bad guy hunting.

But could you waterski behind them?

USS Enterprise was really fast... could easily pull a few hundred skiers.

Had 2 boats when the kids were growing up. A 24' Thundercraft aft cabin and a 32' Bayliner flybridge. Now it's payback time. One of my son who lives next to me bought a 25 Sea-ray Sundancer aft-cabin cruiser. But the fun part is, he works for a helicopter Co. as an Aircraft Technician and he usually works 4 weeks on, 3 weeks off, anywhere in North and South America, (Chili right now) so guess who has to take care of the boat while he's gone working. Life is good!

I have an Eddyline kayak and two other recreation kayaks for visitors. I kayak year around.....5 different rivers within 20 minutes of the house plus a bay and ocean. Love it!!:thumbsup:

We have a 14 ft. duck boat and a paddle at our lake on the farm....Now when our Son was growing up we had a 36 ft. houseboat at Lake Lanier, North of Atlanta, a 21 ft. ski boat and an Old Town Cabin Cruiser....

I am here to verify....the 2 happiest days in a man's life is the day he buys the boat and the day he sells the boat..:laughing:

Forgot my dad has one of these too. Really neat. If it floats it counts in my book!!

When I was in trade school I lived in Flowery Branch Georgia. My boss had a place on the lake with a dock where he let me keep a boat. My dad came to visit and brought down our little 10 foot ouachita with a 10 horse on it. I had a blast on that lake bass fishing. Of course being a river rat and green I almost swamped it in the wake of one of those giant cabin cruisers! He was going slow too!! I slowed down when I realized I was about to take on a 5-6 foot trough. Rode into it then gassed it and jumped it. Popped a couple rivets!! Good times!!

Boss had a 32' scarab that we used to hit power cove with as well. Sick money those boys throw at boats!

This is my "big" boat a 23' Wellcraft. The photo was taken at the 2001 Atlantic Beach (NC) King Mackerel Tournament (we didn't win anything). We were coming back in through Beaufort Inlet when the helicopter snapped the photos.

I have an 18' Simmons Skiff under construction and a Blue Hole canoe. My son has a 14' Prindle Cat catamaran here as well.

I'm sure you take real good care of it, blowing the cobwebs out of it and run fresh gas though it!

What sized out board do you have on there?
