The official 2011 Starcraft outings on the water picture thread

[ezmobee]

Finally got out for the first time on my boat this evening with my son and dad. (I did get out once before in April on Tim Fives' Islander.) The boat ran awesome and my son, who decided to be afraid of everything last year, after some initial crying had fun. We were only out about an hour but it was a nice time.

He used the excuse of "it's too loud" to try to get out of going last year. That shooting ear protection from Wal-Mart that he has one actually fit better than it looks and he seemed to enjoy it.

Hopefully djpeters doesn't feel that this thread steps on his "Starcrafts on the water" thread since those pics could be from anytime. I am hoping all of us on the water this year can update this one with pics whenever they get out these year. We can't get enough of Starcraft in action shots.

That is way cool Ez, will be nice to do one day. And you have 3 generations on that boat today, keep these pics bud. One day you will really enjoy them even more.

I was actually out before you this year EZ, by about a month......see!

Part of me says that may be the only water pic for mine this year. Summer is just way too short and there is lots of other fun stuff I want to do too, like play with my kids.

Great pics EZ. Nothing better than a day out on the water with the family.We might get out on the long weekend if the water levels go down enough.

I'm getting the serious itch to get wet here. Good looking pictures EZ. Your boy is adorable, looks nothing like you! JK, congrats on getting out buddy.

I have many pairs of ear muffs here at our house. Zach (autism) hates noise. Funny thing he loves my bros Trans Am with the 455 in it and a marginal exhaust system. A drill and sometimes he needs ear protection! It must be the redneck gene in him, we're immune to loud cars and guns.

Broadcast now you really got me depressed, and impatient. I's going to be a couple of months at least even with my old boat before I can go fishin. Wife told me I volunteered to take her to the kids again this year. 3 weeks of traveling in June. Kokanee are biting now in Montana.

Chin up boys. Not my Starcraft, but a buddy's. A fine restoration indeed.

Mine is still a POS in progress. But... it gives us all hope, as we work toward completetion, and ultimately to catch some fishies!

Can fish up to 15 rods legally, as long as you have enough peeps in the boat.

It looks like a new one. When I saw the first pic I thought it was odd to see that older Suzuki on that newer hull. Then I realized it was a restore. What a nice job.

Re: The official 2011 Starcraft outings on the water picture thread

Bcast I think we are all a bit jealous, nice fish pics

That is a nice restore, it does look like a 2010 model.

Too bad it doesn't have enough rod holders.

HOT day at the lake today. A little brown and definitely an above average amount of debris due to all the recent rain but not a big deal. We were able to keep cool enough and had a great day. My wife, son, cousin, my cousin's daughter, dad, and step-mother were in attendance.

Wife and son

Yours truly

I don't know about you guys but I like to just ride on my boat when I can. Here I let the old man drive

My superior outboard powerplant kicking a&* (and needing a paint job)

My 10yo second cousin getting a shot at piloting. She did well and enjoyed it.
