Post by: sisu on May 13, 2007, 04:16:25 PM: Sheeeeit, if post a picture of my fishing hunting boat you guys would laugh.
We named it this weekend...The Floating Circus. 1860 Lowe Roughneck

Dman, were you camping at Ft. Spokane Saturday and Sunday? If not there was an exact replica of your boat camped close to ours.

Post by: PolarBear on May 13, 2007, 08:01:31 PM: Here is a couple of mine. We also have a 34' Tollycraft Tri-Cabin and a couple of smaller boats that are great for ponds and little lakes.
This is my bass/gotta git there fast boat.

This is my work/fish/crabbin/beat the crap out of it/whatever boat. The kids call it the "Big Ugly"!

Post by: Dman on May 13, 2007, 08:19:50 PM: Sisu, laughs, no it wasn't me, though that model and color are the most popular. I wish I had a picture of my first boat from about 4 years ago, it was a 14' skiff that we patched up with fiberglass resin. I actually ran it up to Sekiu, though I realize how nuts that was now.

Bear, which boat will you be crabbin with on the opener?

Post by: PolarBear on May 13, 2007, 08:58:57 PM: Dman, I dont know yet. It all depends on my mood and whether I am going to troll for salmon as well. I have a new 4 stroke 8hp Yamaha kicker for the work boat and it fishes a lot better than the Skeeter in the sound. I took the fugly to Neah Bay right after I put it together many moons ago and actually took it out past Tatoosh for lings. It worked ok until the tide changed and we were all of a sudden in monster swells. My next boat is going to be more like yours!!! I need a good all around aluminum fishin' machine! How do you like it?

Title: Re: Let's see those fishin boats
Post by: jackelope on May 14, 2007, 07:18:52 AM: I also have a 16' lavro driftboat, but no pic's handy here.
Title: Re: Let's see those fishin boats
Post by: Dman on May 14, 2007, 09:35:23 AM: I love our boat, things I like about it are; 8'x 21/2' flooded fish box, Suspension seats (must have), heater, ample storage, bow access door, built in rod holders, trim tabs, engine blower, I could go on, but it's a great boat. I always have two foot itis, the only thing I would change is an upgrade to the 24' model in a few years. I really do like the inboards, never have to worry about a dinged prop and very little maintenance. Shallow water launching capability let's you launch in 16" of water, even with a 23/24'. If you you do go out and start looking, ask about a full hard top, right now we have the 1/2 and it's more maintenance, the next one will have an Alaska bulkhead for sure.

Title: Re: Let's see those fishin boats
Post by: Muleyslyr on May 17, 2007, 12:13:01 PM: Here's my 20' Intruder. Got it at the end of last summer. Really the only picture I got of it so far. I think this was right before I took it out for the first time. In my opinion, the ultimate family boat. Tow my kids on tubes in the summer, keeps them happy, steelhead fish the rivers in the winter and summer, Sound, whatever.

Title: Re: Let's see those fishin boats
Post by: PolarBear on May 17, 2007, 06:01:21 PM: Thanks! It was put together at Nixon's. I can still see the shadow of the Nixon's stickers on the motor cowling.

its for sale in the classifieds, gonna down size to a little more versitle boat. I also have a 16 ft Koffler drift boat...
Title: Re: Let's see those fishin boats
Post by: Muleyslyr on May 18, 2007, 01:45:28 PM: Ironhead......Love that picture! I can feel the frigidness from here. Nothing quite like winter fishin' on the river.

You got anything on the bottom of that boat inside? Had a wood drift boat a few years ago, the damn thing would freeze and made it impossible to stand up in it. You'd almost have to wear shin guards from banging into the seats on stuff.
Title: The Floating Circus
Post by: sisu on May 19, 2007, 07:14:29 PM: Title is the name of the boat. If you "sailed" with us you'd understand :chuckle:

Post by: Ironhead on May 20, 2007, 04:13:11 PM: Mulyslyr,Yea that was a cold one. It was the last day of the season last year Feb 28th, and we drug the boat up on the rocks to drain the 25 gallons of snow melt.Tthe boat has a zolatone bottom that gets slick with bait and fish slime but isn't to bad in the snow. Here is a nother pic of my buddy that day.

Here are two friends of mine on the palouse river fishing for cats...takes me a week to scrub the brown ring off of the boat!

Title: Re: Let's see those fishin boats
Post by: Ironhead on June 02, 2007, 07:57:04 AM: Not on the Sky but one of it's tribs, too small to name on the web. I was at the Wallace hatchery last thurs, no kings yet.
