Boat that is.
I know many here have a boat, so why not let everyone see it.

Will start with my 1997 Grumman 17.5 foot with a 60 HP Johnson on it.

Well let's see, I guess I should start with my 15 Foot Sylvan. I got it last spring. It had a 15hp tiller steer and no rear casting deck. I upgraded the engine to a 35hp and put in a carpeted rear deck, and side console with steering wheel. It works great.



I didn't know the wife and my two boys all wanted to use it all at once. So I had to upgrade. Here is my 17 foot Sea Nymph fish n ski with a 90hp.



The 17 is an awesome boat, we used the hell out of it. But, I did a dumb thing and took it to the sound. It works great, but not big enough! So upgrade #2.

Here is my 21 foot Cruisers Inc walk around. The hull is a 76, and the 150hp in an 90. I got it at the end of the season, so I didn't even get to put it in the water yet. Between the 17 and the 21, this should be a great summer!!! Very Happy



Oh, the 15 foot is for sale. I have an add in the classifieds, if any one is interested.

Hertzy that 17' and the 21' is an excellent combo.

I hope to have 2 at some point, but don't see it happening in the near future. In my dream in my perfect world it would be more like a 24 footer along with my 17'

Here is mine. 2001 Smokercraft Millentia. 125hp Mercury 2-stroke. Love the boat, but would change a couple of things. I need a 24 trolling motor and some electronics from this century.

Really need to keep an eye on the weather though off of Watch Hill.

That's partially the reason I am trying to upsize this year, I don't like the weather playing such a major roll if I can fish or not.
I bought a nice little 14 aluminum this winter for my freshwater needs.

I hear that. A few times I had to head back in due to high seas. But she did fine in the rough sea.

That happened to me a few times last season. Once I didn't even get out of the bay. We tried to anchor at Watch Hill, but the wind and waves made for a horrible day. Hopefully my 21ft will be in the water this year.
