Show us your boat

[von behr]

I thought it would be cool if we showed pictures of our mode of transport when waving a stick on the water. It seems as though most of us have a tube, raft, pontoon, or some sort of water craft to get around. With the ingenuity of people on this forum, I'm sure there are some really cool customized models as well. Let's see what you've got and how you set it up.

Next month. This boat re-build has turned into a second career.

Great thread VB!

Just after the ice went out on a favorite river;


I will be floating the raft this week or next and will come back and post some raft on the river shots too.

Here's my ride

I've also got a Freedom Hawk Pathfinder kayak, but I'm trying to sell that since I never use it. I can't seem to find the pictures of it.

Ted,

You've gotta love the ride of the Hyde. That's a nice looking boat.

Ard,

Nice ride, but I like the pic of you driving it much better.

^forgive the spinning rod in there. I was prepping it for some Great Lakes king salmon trolling

Fly rod holders are in route!

Here is my drift boat on a float on the New Fork River with Muzzy (forum member muzz flacko):

Here is Muzzy learning how to row while on a float on the Green River, WY.

Here is my pontoon boat, I use this when fishing solo or with my dog RAS, she loves chasing the birds up and down the beach:

Love the skiff...still kicking the idea around myself but trying to balance the whole family fun vs fishing balance

I've been looking at a 'Skiff. What model and power is that one? Thanks.

I made a compromise with the wifey. I told her I'd go with something inexpensive for fishing with one other person before we have kids. Once we have kids that will make it wash for us to get a mini pontoon.

The skiff is great. Allows me to get in real skinny water that other boats can't go. It's perfect for two people.

This is a Carolina skiff j16. A 16ft skiff with a 25hp. Not a speed demon but fast enough for me. I'm I'm no rush

Wow, lots of cool boats! Those drift boats remind me of the Rangely boat.

Just perfect for a couple of days of trout hunting on the Colorado.

I'm really diggin' all the cool boats on here. Keep 'em comin'. But I have to say I'm especially intrigued by this one. It looks like a beefy combination between a drift boat and a motor boat. I've never seen one of these before.

I'm curious how it performs on a lake or in choppy water. It has a mean look to it. How's the handling on that bad boy?

VB, that is indeed a unique craft. It looks like someone spliced a 3 foot section mid-ship.
