Let's see those boats!

Did someone say "motorboat"?!?!

Since I moved to Florida, I had 3 boats...a 17 ft Bayliner..a 19 ft Renken and my last boat was a 38 ft Mares Cat. I work on boats for a living and after owning 3 it kinda makes you hate boats. Best days of owning a boat is the day you buy it...and the day you sell it! I found it is better to have a friend with a boat than to have your own.

Those poor refugees!!! They are welcome to stay with me & I'll keep them off their feet!

Wait, I mean help them get back on their feet. No wait, that's not right either...

I'm out of town and don't have pics of the Mares in my phone, but this was a stock photo of it from the factory after they built it.

When I went to register the name of the boat with the Coast Guard..the lady I spoke with was at least 200 years old. I told her I wanted to name the boat "WET PUSSY"
I explained that the boat is a CATamaran and it is in the water...hence the name WET PUSSY. She says to me..
"Sir you can not name your vessel WET PUSSY"
I ask her why not..
She says...
"What if you break down and call for help and the distress call is...We have WET PUSSY stranded at coordinates **********?
My response....
"I'm sure I wouldn't have to wait long for help to arrive"

Needless to say the name of the boat ended up being STRAY CAT!

I'm in the process of restoring (and doing a couple mods) to a old 1984 Alumacraft Jon Boat.
I welded up a 1" aluminum frame for support of a fishing deck
Still a little ways off, but she's getting there.

It ain't fast but all ya need is about 5" water and you can chase ducks everywhere

This is not a pic of ours but our latest boat purchase is one just like it ...
Notice it's of the "Faster Red" persuasion
I also own an older model 30' Scarab I'll see if I can dig up some pics

This is the dock where my boat would go if I had one. One step at a time! Besides my neighbor does, even better!

My 3055 Avanti, 496 HO, 455hp. Blue printed and balanced.

Wheres the ice??? I think you need ski's on it or at least snowshoes. Do you park it in your igloo? I don't see a picture of me drinking beer on it. Maybe May long?

@Stairgod
If the water is soft by then I don't foresee a problem, unless you just want to sit in the driveway in it..

Wish I had this...

But can only afford this...

Here is visual proof that I don't have both oars in the water

If I had a boat that's where I would go onto it .

And we were wondering why there were so many whirlpools in the Gulf recently! LOL
