Just wondering what kind of boat do "you" have?

So what kind of boat do you have?

And what is your dream boat?

Well for those who have not seen her, "She" is a 19ft. Gambler Dale Earnhardt edition bass boat in green and black with a Mariner 200 horse outboard to push her along. My dream boat.....well honestly.....would be to have my 17ft. Tracker tx-17 back as we had so much fun and fish together.

I float on aluminum.   Shocked

I have a Smokercraft 17' 8" bass boat with a 75hp Yamaha.  Nice boat, lot's of storage, does the job - not great in whitecaps.

My dream boat?  A fully loaded Ranger.

2000 201D 20' Cobra powered by a Merc 225 EFI.  Great in rough water and surely fast enough with all the storage in the world.  The drawback?  Too much Chevron and difficult to park at my house.  I've always had a lust for a BassCat, but I'm very content with my Red Snake.

I have Lyle's old Nitro, a 1993 180 FS dual console with an Evinrude 115. Pretty little boat in Teal Green and Silver.

My dream boat ..... currently Allison's new XB-21 with a 250!!

Ok I feel better. I'm not that only one without a fiberglass "bass" boat.
I have a 2003 17'5" Starcraft Superfisher.

Dream boat. I'm really not sure. I'd like to have a fiberglass bass boat. But untill my son is older (3 now) I will stick with the V style boats.

I think that's similar to the 3 Lund boats that are in our club, too.  And don't forget, Chris (fishboy) and Brian "troutman" Walker both have Trackers.

Yes sir, as Glenn pointed out, I am a Tracker owner. It is a 1993 Tracker TX-17 with a 60 horse Evinrude. It did a great job for me last year, but I do tend to get a little wet in the rough stuff. I will also be selling it soon to another club member to start simplifying for "back to school"  Cry

My dream boat? That would probably be an 18' or 19' Champion with lots o' little goodies on it.

I'm another one of those kidney-busting Tracker owners.  It's a 18' with 75 hp Mercury.  It's set up perfectly for bassfishing though.
   Dream boats well I've been coveting that Red Snake for quite a while.  The only thing worst than drooling on pictures of boats in bass magazines is standing next to them at a tournament.  Man that's torture.

Mine is a 86 Skeeter Starfire w/175Merc, Genesis Auto Pilot, LMS240 GPS/sonar, X85/sonar. Old boat but very dependable. Back seat at most tournaments is graced by my wife Mary and our dog Sasha.
Hope to move up to a 2-3 year old Triton TR19PDC soon.

I have a 2002 Tracker Tundra 18WT, with a 125 Mercury. Still getting used to it, and figuring out all it will do (been a lot of years since I last owned a boat). Seems like it will do most everything I need it to do, though (except outrun the real bass boats).
