OK my boat has been on here a few times, in the new "Other Projects" area. Let see your boats large or small or your truck haulin your boat.

Jerry Jones · 03-06-2009, 01:48 AM

You have a sweet boat dude, what is the power plant? Where do you run it? I have a couple of boats and will dig up some pics for you in the a.m.

67ChevyRedneck · 03-06-2009, 03:22 AM

Great looking boat!

I have an old mid 90's 18' bayliner. Nothin' special. It was a freebie from my father in law last year.

It was a freebie from my father in law four years ago.

69gumby · 03-06-2009, 11:17 PM

I thought I had seen a boat thread before I wasn't quite sure so I put this one up anyway, to me ya can't look at enough boats, kind of like our trucks.

I just got this boat last june so I have never put her in the water. I am going to do a full restore before she is back in the water, two - three years. I have owned a boat here for the last 35 years we have the Sacramento river and Delta, Folsom Lake, Tahoe, and numerous lakes within an hour or two. Nor Cal is a great place to own a boat.

This is the engine, it's a 120 HP Chris Craft KLC, which is a Hercules XB that Chris Craft converted for marine use. I am replacing a bad valve so she is in a few pieces at the moment. They are one of the sweetest sounding motors ever, and move these boats nicely.

This other pic is of my dream boat, a Grand Banks Sedan, with over a thousand mile of water in the Sacramento Delta I plan on spending some time after on it.

Sir Fisher · 03-06-2009, 11:48 PM

here's my flats boat, we catch sharks, bay scallops, all types of shallow water fish and in the winter when the water is cooler we catch grouper in water as shallow as 15 feet.

Sir Fisher · 03-06-2009, 11:50 PM

sorry i hijacked the thread with fish pics...

dan42 · 03-07-2009, 12:43 AM

Wow! That looks like a lot of fun. We don't have much of that around here.

Jerry Jones · 03-08-2009, 01:31 PM

Here is one of mine

Rollins Lake, not too far from you my man.

GOPAPA · 03-08-2009, 05:04 PM

Like I said I don't own a boat ,,but here is a picture I took of a nice large boat and also the thing that lifts it out of the water when you want to work on it ..

**El Jay** · 03-08-2009, 07:39 PM

I used to be a boater. Does that count?
Here are few pics of a "typical day on the Delta." My son took a couple of his friends out on my Hallet "flat", & I rode with Jerry Jones in his Stevens "flat."

Not all of the pics are strictly boats & I apologize for that.

My son, Andrew, & his friends setting up for a pass "at speed"
Ditto for Jerry.
Andrew having fun
Andrew not having fun.
Jerry having fun

Jerry Jones · 03-08-2009, 07:45 PM

Wow dude, you are digging into the archives... those are awsome!

**El Jay** · 03-08-2009, 07:47 PM

Here's a couple more.

Jerry not having so much fun anymore.
I don't know if this is Andrew, or Jerry!
Andrew & friends cleaning out the cobwebs.
Jerry haulin' the mail.
I have no ideas whose boat this is. But I found it intriguing & I felt sorry for the flag guy.

panhandler62 · 03-09-2009, 08:27 AM

I used to have a boat.. now a days I just visit it when I take the kids back to their mother... lol

I don't have a picture of it, but here is a stock picture of the current version:

It is a 98 (the picture here is an 07) and has a 350 with a 3 blade SS prop. Good for about 65 on glassy water with 2 riders and light toys.

rod86 · 03-09-2009, 08:52 AM

my brother is a navigator for this boat. running a stock LS2 motor with a scott jet drive..
the second vid they end up stuck on the bank....

That looks like the most fun anyone's had in a mud puddle over the age of 5!

69gumby · 03-09-2009, 11:22 PM

I have never seen anything like that, road racing in a boat. That has to be some kind of ride. Thanks for sharing!
