Boats/PWCs

Just casting around for an idea to start a new off topic thread, and my mind settled on boats.
 
Tell us about you boat/personal watercraft!!!

Well i dont have any boats anymore (not really worth it in phoenix beause there is one lake and its $11 for one person to get in with a boat and $3 for passengers), but i grew up on a lake and I've had countless numbers of boats. Heck i even worked for a company that made houseboats and serviced all kinds of boats. Lets see, what have we owned.......flatbottom hunting boat with a 75HP Mercury outboard, Bayliner 15' capri with a Ford 2.4L I-4 and OMC outdrive, Larson 19' Delta Cutter with Mercury V-4 (not sure what the engine was displacement wise or what it was based off of but the cylinders were massive and it made 240hp), had more than a couple sun dancer party barges with engines ranging from a Johnson 40HP to one my cousin Mike put a Honda 200HP motor on (just for giggles), random airboat that never worked, and other odds and ends loaner boats that we borrowed from the service center.
 
One of my favorite borrowed boats i got to drive was a houseboat that we had just serviced. It was a 80' Skipperliner (thats the company i worked for btw) with twin Mercury 454's with multiport injection. Ever seen a house boat do 70 across a lake, LOL. The thing was nice on the inside too, i think it had 4 bedrooms, full kitchen, living room, the works.

According to my friends, my shoes qualify as boats lol.

LOL I got a little john boat for puttering around in the pond. Not exactly watercraft, by any stretch of imagination. Just something that floats, LOL. But it's black and it has flames on it, which is pretty cool.

Same here, size 15.
 
 
We own a 21" Carolina Skiff DLX with all the bells and whistles with 90hp Johnston 4stroke, a 16'' green SeaArk with a 30 Johnston 2stroke, and a 19" G3 with full Sawgrass camo with 60 Suzuki 4stroke.

I don't have one yet personally, but my family has 2 boats. Ones a 1999 205 Sundowner with a 5.0L Volvo Penta engine (can't remember the horsepower #) and then a little 14' fishing boat with 9hp Johnson motor. We used to have a ODay 22 (22 foot cabin sailboat, then wanted something with more power and faster).

I personally would like a little 14-16' fishing/crusing bowrider boat something that is between 40 and 120hp depending on if its a john fishing boat or a little runabout ski boat. And maybe a canoe but there are expensive for what you get, i think i would use a fishing boat or ski boat more than a canoe.

Sorry, punctuation wrong... not inches, FEET!

It was good for a laugh.  Could you imagine though?  If they were buoyant with that size engine, talk about power to weight ratio!!!

Ooo TripleBlack made me think of some other boats we have. 3 little neon plastic ones in the tub...my boys just love playing with them...and sinking them! LOL
 
Oh and Dave...those size 17's you have aren't boats...they're SKI'S!!

I got a 1999 Seadoo GTX Limited. Looks and runs new.

Dang...  

You should see me in the good 'ol harsh new england winters. Built in snow shoes-Woohoo!! I heard them all-gunboats,water-skis,cruise liners,aircraft carriers,and I get called sasquatch all the time.

I've got two kayaks that the mrs. and I take to the lake.  As far as motor size goes.........well, that depends on how big of a bowl of wheaties you eat that morning.  Haha

Look like euro and dav that im right in the middle with 15's but it doesn't look funny cause im 6'5"

Same here 6'5", 15 shoe, 34W 36-38L pants.

I'm 6 foot even, with size 13 - 14 shoe, depending on what brand, lol.
 
33 - 34W and a 34 leg...

and I'm 185 now, lol

humph.  I really gotta lose some weight: 185 would be nice, 50 lb less than what I weigh now.  That is pounds not kilos right?

lol, yeah, that is in lbs... I don't think I could work a keyboard safely, if that was in kilos

just have to prop it on your gut!

My fingers would be too fat to type! lmao. That's over 400lbs!
 

I'm 6'6", 17 shoe, 260lbs., 38x36 or 40x36 jeans
