Well laugh at me all you want but I have a 12ft row boat with a Minn Kota Electric motor w/ 36lbs of thrust. It gets me from fishing spot to fishing spot so im happy.

Can't beat this!!!

I have a 14" 1966 Alumacraft that leaks like crazy w/ a late 80's 9.9 HP Evinrude on it. It is one of the ugliest rigs you have ever laid eyes on... but it works.

I also have a 12" flat bottom aluminum that I use on the river w/ a little Min Kota trolling motor.

Finally, I have an 11" Kayak that I take on the river too. But, the big pike tend to pull me down the river w/ them when I hook into them.

:) i have 4-

14 ft aluminum terry bass with a 25 evinrude, being rebuilt after snow caused shed to fall in on it [:@]-should be up and going again in a month or so---getting it rigged out with all the bells and whistles

a 12 foot eldo craft with foot controled trolling motor and nice padded seats-been using it while bass boat is down and i am fishing with someone else

an8 foot water scamp rigged out with foot controltrolling motor that will bring white water off the bow- made it a one seater and it fits in the back of the 4x4 truck to get to all the little river lakes

an 8 foot inflatable i won several years ago when i toured a condo. it was listed as a bass boat and came with a motor-the guy took one look at my size and started to apoligize for trying to trick me :D--i didn't care--it's great fun to raft down the rivers in the mountains here in it. :)

I have a 1986 starcraft v-bottom that has a modified interior. The original bench seats have been removed and a flat deck installed the bow has a slightly raised platform with a pedestal fishingseat there are 2 additional pedestal seats one in the middle and one at the rear, they all swivel. It is powered by a 6 horse Johnson with tiller handle control. I have a bow mounted, foot controlled minkota trolling motor and both bow and aft mounted humming bird fish finders. Not the greatest set up in the world but is a good setupmost lakes around here.Someday I will get a nice ranger or nitro fish and ski so I can fun on the water in all activities.

I have a 14ft Cadilac deep v aluminum that is older then me, it has a Marener out bord 10 hp.

My old man has a 20ft LOWE deep V aluminum with a 115hp johnson, and a 10 yamaha kicker on it. It is a big boat and works well on the great lakes. He loves it more then me :)

12' sears aluminum Jon boat. No idea what year. 9.9 Johnson sea horse.
I'm not sure how but I can get my 12 year old daughter up on water skis without a strugglewith myself and her friend in the boat. The old Johnson seems to have plenty of power.
