Re: What was your First Boat?
at 24 I bought a Great Candian Cape Cod Bay Canoe, Added a trolling motor and fished the Mount Hope Bay area and the Taunton River, Bought it for $100, sold it for $300
at 26 I found a 12 foot Sears Gamefisher in the river. It was left there for 8 months, after thre State finished the Bridge painting.
It was sunk and in the mud, I had been watching it for some time, and when winter was coming I decided it was time to drag it home.
After cleaning all the paint out of it and fixing the trasom, I added a 6 hp Johnson I got for $200 and a freash water trailer I got for $100
Sold it for $500
at 28 I bought a 1962 Hawkline 17' runabout. Had a 1972 60hp Johnson thats was pure Hell !! I replaced it with a 1990 Mercury 90hp I bought it for $1500 sold it for $2500
Right after I bought it I sold the canoe and the Sears boat.
at 33 I bought the Wellcraft V20 for $2500 and Can't even begin to think about how much I have spent over the years?? Sure I am over $10,000 :-/
Sold the Hawkline 2 months after I got the Wellcraft.
And there you have it, I will be 44 this summer and still using the Wellcraft. Gee I have had this boat longer then I thought?? Time flys when you are spending so much money!!
