Tracker TX 175 with a whoppin' 35 hp mercury. The trolling motor would move it faster. It got me on the water and into places I would take my Nitro now.

My first was my 1980 Monark 14 ft jon boat with homemade casting deck and 15 hp mercury tiller steer outboard. It was great to learn with because I could (and did) bump it against the dock, stumps, rocks, and anything in my way and didnt have to worry about the damage it would cause.

Old stick steering Skeeter that was about 3' wide and 16'or 17' long. You steered it from the front of the boat and in high winds the waves would land in your lap.Boat had a flat bottom that you could fish in about 6" of water.Trolling motors back in 1972 then were only 12 volts and had maybe 40 lbs. thrust.

In 1985 I bought a 1972 Ouchita with a 85 HP Merc. Good times. And yes I'm older than I look.

1996 Skeeter SS90 SP. I think it ran about 43 mph, and it did pretty well in rough water.
