Classic boats?

Does anyone have an older boat they'd like to share some pictures of?Particularly 70's-90's. I've tried finding some old threads but when I click on them photobucket doesn't work. I know of two 79 Cobras that were restored and posted on here and also just a thread of classic boats. Thanks!

What year is that Ranger looks clean

1996 Champion 181

'89 Champion 176 DCR - 135 hp Mercury Black Max
My pride and joy....until I can get my hands on a 198!

Good looking boats guys!

96 Basscat Eyra, 175 EFI Mariner

Hope PETA doesn't see the cat you're using for a wheel chock in the picture....haha nice cat!

I have a pretty nice 89 Ranger but don't know how to post pictures

1990 184 Champion

Ok have to represent skeeter. 92 175 zx still running strong.

The boat is almost as impressive as the shop, since you guys don't know he built the shop by himself and the man cave is most impressive thing in there.

1996 SKEETER ZX180

I wish somebody had a few pics of some Laser boats to post. They were a long time customer of mine.

It's amazing how many old Champions you still see on the water, and in good shape too. Those boats have withstood the test of time far better than most.

82 champion 184/96 johnson fast strike (monty racing version ).

1991 Ranger and Evinrude

Very clean

1992 Ranger 361v. It's in my sig, don't have a current photo to upload.

Thats a clean ride!

1995 Champion 202 bought brand new. Repowered her last year.

1991 Skeeter 200 SX - used in Bayou Bass Classic by New Orleans Sts.
Skeeter furnished a boat to each NFL team for a tournament between the NFL teams

Details on the trailer step please, what brand is that

You want classic? I've got classic! A 1956 Arkansas Traveler 14' Mod-V with a 1957 Evinrude Sportwin 10hp. It's not the fastest boat, or the sexiest on the ramp, but it's my first boat and I rebuilt it from the ground up. Also, the boat used to belong to my wife's great grandfather, I pulled it out from behind a garage where it sat for 32 years. I named the boat Norma Jean after my wife's grandmother (it was her dad's boat). I posted an entire thread of my build at Tinboats.net. I can post the link if anyone is interested.


This is the boat today


Norma Jean standing with "Norma Jean" she cried when she first saw it (it was a surprise for her)


Getting it home


Where I found it

My dads first boat was exactly like that and I grew up learning how to fish in that boat. We had a 15hp Evinrude on the back and it would really get up and go. Brings back a lot of memories.

Me too, who makes that front step?

Cheers,

George

I'll snap a pic of the details on it when I get home.

Not a competition but YOU WIN!!!

Dude !...that is a sweet boat !...wish they still made that exact model...

1992 Ranger 391V, 2000 Mercury 200HP.....Minn Kota Fortrex 112, 36 Volt wiring
4 OPTIMA batteries, Minn Kota 4 bank digital charger, Humminbird and Lowrance,
new carpet, Boards and Hubs.

hmm just searched the site with no results. Anyone else have luck finding this step online

Nice looking rigs!!

Took the picture below a couple of years ago on Palestine. The fellow had just caught this one another about the same size on a Pop R.

I was told last week that he quit making them. I have a friend who makes something very similar and a little better built. If you want one his steps message me and I'll get you his information.
