'64 DuraCraft runabout (riveted aluminum) with a 1985 90hp tower of power on the back.

It's paint is faded, it has a few dents in it and it's NOT pretty, but I bought it for the river so it's going to end up that way even if it starts out nice...

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

1969 Chrysler Valiant w/ 1969 Chrysler 70 hp. 42 years old, I'm the third legal owner, second technical owner and she hasn't seen water in over 25 years. (I've had her about 13.5 mos.) Will change that later this summer. She is pretty sharp if I do say so myself and solid. It's been fun getting her squared away on the cheap. Now, I have to figure out how to post some pix.

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

1956 14' Crestliner Commodore Speedster, aluminum, used to be an old mukety Muck give em a ride on lake tahoe Camp Rich boat that I rescued from a persons backyard for $150 with a trailer that I sold for $75. My boys and I spent all summer restoring her to usable condition, but we love her now.

This year, I just bought a 1967 Sea Ray, Fiberglass 14 footer that I am turning into a fishing boat for $200 with tilt trailer, 18hp motor (that now runs but I need to get a new prop) remote steering, shift and throttle. She is a little weathered, and I am working on sanding the oxidation away, but other then that and a couple other minor issues, she is getting close to being taken out.

I love older boats, and always seem to be able to find a project to work on.

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

See my boat ages below in my sig. The best thing about both of them is they're paid for. The worst thing is the Four Winns has never seen a gas pump it didn't like.
