Lets see your fishing boat!

[Hem]

I'm curious to see what members have for fishing/hunting boats. Share the specifics if you would. Not interested in ski, wake or any other of the like.
I have a 16' War Eagle for fishing. My Honda 25 just gave up the ghost after 20 some odd years. Upgraded to a Honda30 w/trim recently. I added a floor and platform/ bench in the back so two guys can flyfish at once. Tried to eliminate anything which can snag line. Works pretty well. Wife calls it the swamp boat.
Still contemplating a bigger boat though, something safer in big water, but also more comfortable for family and dogs.

2007 triumph. Bought it with 36 hours. Chased tuna out 60 miles, now only sees Canada. 540 hours on a 115 yami. 7 inch draft, rubber boat so it bounces off rock. Love it.

Grumman new to me, first boat, pretty excited for it. Merc 50 2 stroke.

2020 Hewescraft 210 Sea Runner. 200 & 9.9 kicker 24' w/ transom.
Had an '85 Bass Tracker prior. Very nice to fish right along the top of the boat though for lake/ocean - wife permitted our boat budget to bump up more than I ever expected. More learning how to use than expected though wife's second support to her decision, needs to be bomb proof to tolerate my edu-macation.

It’s time for an upgrade, but the USS Lockwood still gets me to the fish. I’m trying to talk my dad into buying an Adipose or a nice raft.

I get some fishing done on my boats, but they get used a lot harder in the fall and winter waterfowling. Boat 1 is a 19' Duckwater, boat 2 is a 16' Lowe Roughneck with a jet for the skinny stuff.

98 Lund Pro Sport, 16 foot. Picked it up this spring, got it cleaned up, added the graphs and a house battery. Took it out 2 weekends ago for the inaugural run & it shit the bed. So the Marine shop has it and is rebuilding the carburetor.

$*)Q!#@$ boats.

60 miles offshore in tuna water?
Ballsy.

Interesting modification. I see the function of the platform, but does that inhibit the boat?

I use a 12' fishing kayak by Perception on the Columbia River as well as on some lakes. Great for fly fishing!

Yeah, but simple boats.
No motors = no headaches.

2021 Crestliner Vision 1600 SC w a Merc 25hp 4-stroke (HP restricted reservoir). All set up for trolling for lakers and salmon...or pop off the downriggers and spend the day chasing bass.

2016 Warrior 2090 with a 225 Merc tiller on the back.

Loaded her out with goodies!

12 ft Talon shallow water anchor on the back
Minn kota vantage rear trolling motor
Minn kota Ulterra self deploy on the front
3 lowrance hds live graphs at the back, 1 in the front

I've owned a handful of boats, and I won't consider a different brand after running this Warrior for 4 years. They make a hell of a boat!

Everytime I am scrolling through FB marketplace or Craigslist for fishing boats I think about maintenance and storage but I keep looking a couple times a month.
