my 1st was a 1971 terry bass boat similar to the one in this picture I found online. I had a stick steer up front though.

'75 MonArk 15' aluminum bass boat with a 25hp Johnson. Wish I still had it...would float in about 6'' of water.

My 1st bass boat was a 1976 ThunderBolt 148 with a 1966 34 hp Evinrude. I worked part time for a guy that had a boat repair shop, he got this one in on trade with a bad motor on it, I could not find another motor that I could afford, so I went out in the back of the shop to a motor pile & started digging through to see if there was anything usable there, low & behold I found an old motor there that the lower unit was scrap, I took that powerhead inside & checked the fire & compression on it & dang if it was'nt better than a new one!! I put that powerhead on my downhousing & BINGO!! I was in business!! LOL! I went through a total of 5 motors until I put a one owner 1967 65 hp Mercury on it & my motor problems were solved!! Man, I caught several boat loads of fish outa that old boat!! that old Merc was a dandy! I even had the original owner's manual to it!! Of all my bass boats of the past, that one was my favorite one for sentimental reasons, it was in a time that was & is still dear to me.

1996 Skeeter SS90 with a 60Hp Mercury

1972 skeeter metro, 50 johnson and a 18 lb motorguide ans a lowrance flasher paid 1800 brand new

1972 14 ft. Caravelle Bass, 50 horse Johnson. Had a Super Motor Guide(12 volt of course), two chairs - mounted on fiberglass boxes, 6 gallon tank and a center console. Dilly trailer. That trolling motor wouldn't motivate in any wind over about 15 mph. Can't tell ya how many thousands of fish I caught out of that old boat. I kept it for 12 years. It would run all day on that 6 gallons. Sold it for about what I paid for it. I was glad to get a bigger (and better) boat, but I had me some big fun in that one.

1973 Ranger - a little different than my Z20

1976 SKEETER WITH A 115 RUDE. GOT IT IN 2003 FOR A PAINT JOB ON A CUSTOM CHOPPER. DEDICATED A WHOLE STORAGE COMPARTMENT FOR ZIP TIES AND DUCT TAPE.

My first was a 1984 Skeeter Starfire 175 with a 150 Evinrude I bought it when I was 17 in 1996 great memories but I am suprised I survived being a late teen with that boat.

17 1/2 ft alumacraft..with 75 hp Merc....it is a wonder that I still have all of my insides....Little different from the Stroker

Stick steer Raycraft with 35 chrysler. Had a small leak, but would run all day.

The day after I posted on this topic, I got my first bass boat back. The guy called my up and just gave it back to me. He never even transfered the titles, so its still in my name.
