Think I've owned about 18 boats so far.

12' Appleby V hull aluminum w/6 hp Johnson (won in a big bass contest at age 15)

15' Boston Whaler knockoff, 40 hp Johnson (during college)
16' Skeeter Hawk, 55 hp
16' Kingfisher (with custom built interior), 70 Evinrude
16' Skeeter won in tournament
17' Procraft pad boat won in tournament
17.5' Skeeter Starfire, 115 hp
19' Javelin w 150 Evinrude

SE Florida boats 2000-2005
19' Century deep V center console, 85 Yamaha
21' Sea Pro bay boat w/150 Yamaha rigged for bass, inshore and offshore
21' Bluewater deep V offshore rig w/200 Yamaha
24' Bluewater deep V offshore rig w/250 hp Evinrude ETEC

Back to TX in 2006
21' Triton TR21X-HP w/Merc (big lake boat)
16' Bass Tracker Panfish w/25 Merc (1st small water boat)
17.5' Bass Tracker w/40 Merc (2nd small water boat)

Restored 1967 Starcraft aluminum V hull w/50 hp Johnson, (now rigged for bass & crappie with stick steering, pedestal seats, carpeted sides, LED lighting, and flat floor with SeaDek type foam flooring)

Still own and regularly use the Triton, the Bass Tracker, and the Starcraft. Also have a Bass Buster type one person fishing boat, 2 adult & 2 youth kayaks and a 4 seat pedal boat.

Guess you could say I like the water a lot!

17ft VIP Bass Boat with 70 Chrysler
18ft Cajun with Johnson GT 150
18 ft Champion 181 with Johnson 150 Fastrike
17ft Explorer with Mercury 115
22ft Nautic Star with 200 Yamaha Saltwater Series II
19ft Basscat Pantera Classic with Mercury 200 Optimax
22 Majek Extreme with 200 Suzuki

Favorite bass boat was the Champion
Favorite Saltwater is the Majek. Still have it. It’s in perfect shape. It’s probably the last boat I will ever own,
Best motor was 150 Fastrike. Did absolutely nothing to it. Ran the cheap Walmart TCW3 oil in it.
Worst motor was the Optimax. I had several issues with it. I sold the boat to my brother because he wanted it. Said I was asking $5,000 less than I should. He’s had a number of issues with it. Boat is solid. Basscat build a solid boat. Just rides rough compared to the Champ or Charger he and.

Probably had the most fun out of the Champion back when I fished Tournaments. We caught a lot of fish out of that boat.

I like my current boat a 22ft Majek Extreme with 200 Suzuki a lot. We take a couple of week long trips each year to LA. May trip is alway to Venice. Fall trip has been to Calcasieu, Cocodorie and Delacroix. Also annual company tournament in Rockport. I need to get out to fish more this year. You can’t do those wade fishing trips forever. Prefer to wade.
