    Here's my first boat. Something like a 13'x26" traveler jon boat my grandad gave me. I bought the cheapest thai longtail kit on the market, paired it with a 6.5 hp motor from harbor freight and limped up and down the river for a while
    Boat 1 .jpg

    Boat 2 which I wish I hadn't gotten rid of was a 1644 godevil that started off with a 31hp longtail, moved to a 35 hp surface drive (what it has in the picture), and ended up with a 25 hp tohatsu
    Boat 2.jpg

    Current boat is a 1999 bug buster with a 25 horse etec. a little small for my taste but a fun boat

    If Phoneman sees this thread I predict it'll hit 24 pages just from his boat pics alone! LOL

    True story.

    I dont have any pictures that I know of of my first. It was a sears 14' flatbottom that was powered by a 9.9 evinrude. Then I got a bigger boat (wide v hull) after I got busted surfing the rollers in Hogg inlet with it. Same 9.9. slowed my ass down considerably. Then I got a 25 that I sunk on it's maiden voyage.

    Then I was on my own. Got a big wide job boat that had a hooked hull from Sammy in Loris. Put an old 35 Evinrude on it. Sold it, and bought a 1503 HT with a 60 Mariner. Hell on wheels in that rig.

    Sold/Traded it for a 17' HT with a 115 optimax. That's boats caught and killed from every major river drainage from just shy of VA, all the way down to the Keys to capture the two ocean title.

    Current rig is a 19' Sea Pro with a 140 Suzuki.

    Had a 23' Hydrosports thrown in there somewhere.

    Don't even know where the pics of my old Mako 262 or my 16' Alumacraft are.

    Current fishing yacht. And before Bart hits me with the registration numbers and stickers, this was taken right after I had the boat painted.

    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Sammy gave me a trolling motor for my first boat when I was about 10 years old. I need to go by and see him, he’s getting up in age.

    My first boat. '56 Duracraft. Eventually put a 15 hp Evinrude on it after a while of it sitting. Ended up giving it to one of my good friends after his Gheenoe took a dump. He uses it more than I ever did.
