This is my 15' Peterborough, definitely not the boat I had at White Lake. It's 15' long (I can't remember the beam) and it has a 50 HP Evinrude.

My digital crapped out on me but will describe it. 19 foot princecraft "superpro" with a 150 and 15 kicker. 4 pedestals, walkthru bow. She does about 110 k but will only do that on a very calm day. The name is about 3 1/2 feet long on each side "MASTERBAITER". The "I" is a worm with a purple helmut on with a hand wrapped around it and it's eyes bugged out. Very funny, my buddy is a graphic designer. I spelled Helmut that way for you KC!!!!! LOL

Wouldn't be caught dead in a lund way over priced and under powered I have owned a tinny for 3 years and fished bass tournies out if it and you just can't compete against the bass boats they spend there time fishing not traveling from fishing spots and boat control is a big part of bass fishing and if its windy your fighting it all day long in a tin boat. I can buy a bass boat that will do 65mph for less than the price of a 17 foot lund with a 90hp on it. It all comes down to preference I want a 21 foot ranger with a 250xs on it but can't afford that so I will have to see what I can find in my price range

I was fishing a tournament on lake champlain last september with my ranger Z22 with a 250 verado in heavy wave action, No problem with waves comming over the top it's all about control and being SAFE. Common sense is the rule when fishing big water. Just my 2 cents .:goodstuff:

You really don't but glass bass boats are high perfomance boats designed for the tournament angler. In any given tournament you may have multiple spots which is important to get to as quick as possible, also the ability to make long runs away from the crowds. When there is ten's of thousands of dollars as stake everyone is looking for an edge. Plus who does not like going over 70mph

Here's my rig before the re-finishing.

An 88 Bayliner BassTrophy with a 125 Force. Although the Force is considered crap, I've had great luck with it but am still working on a deal for a newer 150 Merc.

Although not the most desireable being a Bayliner, she's been a great rig for me and slowly coming along with upgrades.

It's got the floor, livewell, trolling motor with a new(er) Yam 30 hp. Moves along just fine (mind you when I've saved up a few more pennies I'll be upgrading to the 40hp 4 Stroke) Perfect for where I go - a few smaller lakes and every so often some big water.

My new Lund Classic 1775 Sport with a 90 Yamaha Four Stroke. I just got it this June. It was a new, non current model boat at the dealer. I ve always like the look of this boat and when I saw it advertised for sale I couldn t resist. The motor is a new 09. So far I m really happy with the boat. It runs pretty quick and has all the options I wanted .. livewell, rod and tackle storage .. lots of compartments to store my lifejackets, raingear etc... It also has the full stand up top which keeps me dry in the rain. I had a Lund WC 16 with a 25 HP Yamaha Four Stroke prior to buying this one a month or so ago. I sold that one to Woody who is most likely filling it with fish up north right now.

Anyone used a sportspal before? Supposedly they are good for hunting and you can shoot out of them (says the manufacturer). Looking forward to seeing what we can do with it this fall!!
We made sure to keep the logo on it!!

p.s. bowj--I have duck hunted from a sportspal and it works great. Very comfy and you can get down low. Just make sure the leaks are limited otherwise after the foam gets soaked, you are sitting on wet foam and it gets uncomfortable.

Hey guys, I`m new around here. Just wanted to say Nice Rides! I have a 19.5`closed bow tempest, with a 165 mercruiser I/O, Chev straight 6. Runs greats, takes the rougher water just nice, but she`s for sale.. I hate the huge motor cover taking up all my space, and getting in my way all the time! I just picked up a old (not sure the year) 17.5`Sea Ray and two old 75hp Johnson O/B`s for a 100.00! the boat needs some restoration, but no leaks! both motors run great. I`m going to convert it into a fishing rig, rather than the cruiser it was orignionally planned to be. I`ve got a pretty good idea in my mind of what I want, but if anyone has pictures/idea/website links.. of highly modified fishing rigs, I would really appreciate it.

Anyways guys, just wanted to say hello.

Thanks.

Picked up this 18 ft sea nymph this past winter. 70 hp evinrude. Runs great, have since changed the trolling motor to a 55lb motorguide wireless and upgraded fishfinder to a gps fishfinder. Got a great deal on boat for $1800 for boat, motor, trailer and 3 tops. Was covered in snow when I bought it and never even looked inside the price was so good. Started right up in the spring.

Here is a shot from the Bay of Quinte walleye opener.

Great service and good guys to deal with. I'm almost happy....but have convinced myself I need a trolling motor, so if anyone has one for sale.........

Awesome boats guys. How about those winter rides!!!

http://forums.oodmag.com/picture.php...pictureid=1861

I bought this this winter instead of a snowblower. I figured this way there is no way in hell I would have to shovel.

Hopefully lots of fun safe week-ends on the ice. If we can ever get some decent snowfall amounts when the ground is frozen I can cover a bit of the trail systems.

Goes well, pulls a skier no problem, but the difference between the 20 that I had on it and the 40 is a tank for a weekend with the 20, to 2 tanks for the weekend for the 40. Not that much faster for twice the gas.:mad:
It can handle some pretty rough water on the big lakes. It will do better than the occupants!

Nipfisher

Here is my last boat which I used for 3 years. it is a 14'9" fibreglass Edson Resorter with a 40 Mariner on it. I added the aftermarket power tilt and trolling plate. It was a good boat but not big enough for the waves of lake Nipissing.

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...lex/boat-1.jpg

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...lex/boat-2.jpg

Then I bought this one at the end of last summer. It is a 17' Starcraft Walleye Edition with a 90 Yam on her. It has a large live well up front and a separated live well in the back. She is a little beat up but has all the bells and whistles I need. I added a new Lowrance fish finder on the front. Didn't get to use her too much last year but she will be sitting in the water at my slip for the full season so should get me some nice walleye and a couple monstor Northerns I hope.

I have to agree with Rodbender on the 1st page about the Peddle boats (paddle boat). I love going to the in-laws and floating around with a cold beverage. Perfect trolling speed.

Did you purchase it up here or down south? First year I had my bassboat I think I drove it everyday, now all I want to do is upgrade items, add more crap and keep trying to make it faster, still love my boat after 3 years. I'm in the same state as you I can't wait for the ice to melt.

it was listed on kijijijij and on BFB............bought it down in southern ontario..............

it will run in the low 60's...........fast enough for most days.............there are posts on other forums about this boat............a guy has 225 on the back of his and ran her at 91mph.............scared the poop out of him and he propped her back down to 80mph..........boat could not handle that fast...very unstable and felt like it was coming apart at the seems......lol you figure.........

may upgrade some day to a 20 fter with a 225 but that is a lot of boat to haul and launch ....i fish alone a lot of the time and a boat that big doesn't really suit my needs...............

the only thing you gain with the bigger boat is another 15mph............

this one will do for now...........don't plan on messing with the set up just to gain 10mph............or adding anything..........it has a finder built in the dash and another up front and a gps/finder at console as well.............good electric on it and a on-board charger...........there is nothing that needs to be added except water........

mystripper is a great boat very seaworhy great in rough water you can fish alot of days when others cant it has a ton of room for fishing wheather your trooling or drifting but ive never been in a boston whaler i have been in an edgewater which is similer to the whaler and i can onestely say you cant compare a stripper with those calibre boats there in a leage of there own a whaler in my opinin is one of the best made boats out there contender also is a 1st class boat and if you want to see a dream boat google CAPE HORN boats the nicest in my opinion all hand built there is alot of boat companies in the US we dont evenhere about here in canada i have a friend in florida with a 20 ft century bay boat and i think it would be a great boat for down here in ontario for big or small water its plenty deep lots of room built like tanks and half the price of a high end alluminum boat as for thewhaler mabee next boat or a grady white check out the hull truth great sight for boats.

Chalk up another for the center consoles! (Nice rig Pancho!)

Boat #1

The "Pretender". Name is a reconstruction of "Contender", a popular offshore boat line in FL. The people at Contender printed the matching decal for me special. Originally known as a MitchCraft, it's 18' and about 8' wide. 112spl 1995 Evinrude powering it. I bought the boat at 16, tore her down to the bare hull at 19, and finished rebuilding her all the next year. She's seen years of salt, 8' seas in the Atlantic, 500lbs hammerheads, and a lot of bikini clad (and sometimes not-clad) ladies. It also helped me snag my wife :)

funny story: I was unloading camping gear in SW FL for about 20 minutes. Couldn't get the boat free since the tide dropped. This picture is of the boat (and my wife) several hours later as the tide continued to fall.

Boat #2

"Dead Ringer Too". Named after the original "Dead Ringer" a boat that saw lots of hunts with way too much weight and plenty of dead ducks. A new boat was purchased to handle the added weight of a 23hp Mudbuddy engine. Before she even saw the water, I was rear ended and the boat totaled (after making a 3 hour trip almost to the ramp) :rolleyes: This boat was purchased 1 day before the duck season opened. My buddy and I spent all day stripping the old boat (which we had spent weeks rigging) and had the new boat completely rigged in time to scout that afternoon. My dad actually bought the boat and motor and I paid for everything else, but when I moved up to ON, he gave me the rig since he wouldn't be hunting much anymore.

She's a 16', 48" beam riveted Triton. Wired with headlights, spotlight, GPS, bilge pump, nav lights. Homemade paint job and pop-up blind. Bottom painted with super-slick epoxy. Further customized by falling trees, submerged steel posts and a lot of stumps :)

Hey guys, I think I've posted this in another thread...but hey...I'm a proud new owner, so what the heck? :)

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...terCONSOLE.jpg

1998 20' Lund Alaskan Center Console with a 2002 90hp Merc. 2-stroke. Since that photo was taken, the trailer has new tires, a Minn Kota V2/60"/PowerDrive bow-mount with on-board charger and an anchor pulley up front for hoisting the Richter anchor up from the depths. :)

Just completed building the custom mounts for the rod holders and will be installing it/them in the coming days. Also just replaced the stereo's splash guard. Nothing glamorous there, the cover on the old/worn one blew off.

Other than the fact that this new (to me) beast can't be launched in the kind of skinny/crappy/shallow/end of a gravel road launch like my old/smaller boat could...I really dig it. Really wanted something that could take the rougher water when called-upon to do so. So far, so good.

19ft Seabird, 302 HO with Holley Carbs and Offenhauser Intake, Dry Exhaust, Very Loud, Very Fast.
Bought this just before I met my wife. Because of our schedules we spent most of our time on it after 10pm out on Lake O out from Frenchmans in Pickering. After getting married I sold her, just too expensive for gas. A run from Frenchmans to The Docks and back would run between $110 - $130 depending on the day. It was costing a grand a month just for gas.

Funny story.... went through rough stuff one day near the nuke plant in Darlington. That night around 11 got stranded about 2 km from shore on Lake O, water had got in the gas tank through the vents. Volunteer Fire dept came and towed us back around 2am. Good thing it was warm and not too rough. Also good thing for volunteer firemen!

Posted to this thread last year as well. I had the 20' Bayliner Trophy. This spring I installed the new motor I bought for it last fall (2008 Merc 150 EFI) and decided it was time to sell as my wife and I are expecting a baby in August.

Went downt to the states and picked up this 2000 Nitro 185 fish/ski. Good looking boat with a 150 Merc on it with new power head. Put a pair of Cannon Mag 10's on either side but will definatly have to pick and choose my salmon days more with this boat. Not quite as big, heavy and high out of the water like the Trophy was.

My new Lund.

Just picked up my 2000 Lund 1600 Prosport with Yamaha 80hp fourstroke.

Took it out on Lake Ontario on Friday and was smashing through 3-4 footers like nothing. Also has an 82 ft/lb Motorguide bowmount.

I put my 6 hp Mercury kicker on the back and Hummingbord 898 SI/DI at the helm. Hummingbird 565 on bow. Came with 2 Canon downriggers, full stand up top and a ski poll.

I'm so happy! Let's go fishing!

I`M STILL WAITING FOR AN AFFORDABLE ELECTRIC BOAT! Until then this is it...10 foot zodiac type inflatable for $250 .I throw it in the trunk of my car and inflate in 15 minutes . I have had it for a couple of years now , patched it once so far . Not bad for the price , goes in most places larger craft can`t. I usually prefer to rent when I need something bigger.I even tackled the ST-lAWRENCE ON THIS MOTOR POWERED PELICAN PADDLEBOAT ,YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE EXPRESSION ON THE GUYS FACES WHEN PASSING ME WITH THEIR 30 FOOT YACHTS !
