I wouldn’t trade my tin scooter for a glass rig. They can’t go where we go and more importantly get back.

Don’t know how to post pics, but my ‘93 Pantera II is a member of the family. Still shines like new and still running great after 534.4 hrs on the 175 Fast Strike. Yes, I still use the VRO pump too.

92' Nitro 180FS with a 150 Johnson. Bought from a buddy for cheap and being my first boat I didnt really know if I would keep it or not. 5 years later still love it and doesn't
cost me a penny outside of regular upkeep. That old Johnson will still hit 52mph with one person in no time. Looking forward to taking it to Steve to get its factory shine back and then carpet after that. Only regret is not being able to use it more but family comes first....

My 1978 Ray Craft:

MY 1990 Champ 201 DC

My "96 Champion 186. Not sure I will ever trade her.

I had my 2002 triton for 15 years, best thing it is paid for.

1994 (These and sister 15 & 21's made from 1993-97) Dauntless 13. We love this boat for all it can do: it was a ski boat in Fl, a tender for a trawler, a commercial flats/bay boat, some "old guy" (probably younger than me now) put bass seats on it and a trolling motor for a bass boat. Not the best boat for any job really, but will do all of them well. With the motor trimmed up we need 9" water to operate. All the lights, switches, bait well pump have never been gone through and still work like new. Photo from when we lived in Fl.

The little boat that almost sunk Boston Whaler:

23 years old, yams still runs like it was new..non oil injected.

I have a realy hice original 1992 Cham 201 DC Elite with a VZ225 Yamaha on it. Great Boat. Best ride in rough water of any boat I have ever had. Bad news is, I am so old that I can't go out by myself anymore.

Man....Y'a;ll make me feel bad that my '03 Skeeter has some bumps and bruises and needs a wax. These are some gorgeous older boats (kinda how I like my ladies, too!)

Had a buddy who had a 87 181 pro loved that boat. I had a 179 v 87 model it was a fast boat but liked his better.

2000 champion 186. 150 vmax. Bought new. Been great boat. Batteries n trolling motor and no other $ well impellers. Putting few g in refurb can't complain. Bout to retire n no 75000 boat. Lol
