Power Boats - Show what ya own.

[Wrenchgear]

A long time ago there was a thread started that had everyone posting pics of their canoes and kayaks. I know most of us can't/don't take their power boats with them while towing the Pup (me included). Some puppers with tin boats are able to put them on a rack on the Pup, but that simply won't work for a lot of us.
It's the middle of winter 2014, theres almost 4 feet of snow on my front lawn, its freezing outside..... I miss my boat (and Pup) so much while they are in storage. I'm dreaming of summer for numerous reasons.
Lets see whatcha got, give a few specs on it.

Here's mine....., picked it up in 2006

2005 Tahoe Q4, 19.5 feet long, 4.3 Merc. 190 hp IO, Alpha 1 Gen 2 drive, 23 inch pitch prop, it'll do about 45 mph trimmed up a bit.





DS working the knee board



Both DD's flying



Also still have the old Cadorette 16 ft. Skimaster with a Johnson Outboard 115 hp 4 cyl. Bought it in '92. That's a pretty fast, nimble little boat.



And just for all the non-gassers out there, I also have a couple of canoes that I love to fly fish out of.

Lets see those pictures of the summer water toys.

That Tahoe is a awesome looking boat. Looks like the kids are having so much fun.
I do not have a boat to show but I certainly do wish I did have one. Every summer when we camp at Fishcreek pond in the ADK I am so wishing that I had a boat as all sites are on the water and many people have boats or jetskis. Maybe someday.

I've got a 1996 Bluewater Eagle 18'6" with a 4.3L Mercruiser V6. Owned it since '08. I've had a TON of fun with it, but I've made the decision to put it up for sale. BOOOO! I can't justify the ownership anymore, as I'm not getting enough use out of it, and I'm also looking to purchase a home in the next 1-2 years. I've got to downsize my toys, less overhead, maintenance, etc.

Sorry I didn't post any pics!

NICE!!!!!!

Thanks, it's a lot of fun, but it has 2 Merc 350's with a 120 gallon tank and I get about 6 hours of boating from that 120 gallons... It's a lot more fun parked at the dock

We have an old 86 FiberKing Bomber fish-n-ski with a 115hp Mercury on it. Runs about 45 - 50 on a good day.

I replaced the transom in it a year after we bought it....not a job I would like to do again.

She's pretty easy on fuel ... ...but the dingy with the 3.5 HP really burns it up at about a gallon every two weeks or so .

 

[jash1178]

What about when there is no wind billangiep?

 

[billangiep]

Then you sit and have cocktails ,go for a swim , fish then fire the grill up etc. not necessarily in that order .
There is a small inboard 20 HP diesel pusher so if we really need to get somewhere we can, it burns just over a quart an hr.

 

[Wrenchgear]

Wow, thats a biggie.

Nice sailboat!

1982 Searay 210 Cuddy.

 

[96Rockwood]

Our other hobby, and yes there are times we take both camping. '92 Sea Ray 270 Weekender. Single 454 engine. Just got this to replace the Sea Ray 230 cc back in April of this year.

If I lived someplace else, I think I'd have to have a pontoon boat.

Love that 62 Starcraft.
