My First Boat
Well, after seeing MJ's posting about his first boat, the original MacoJoe, I was inspired to start a new thread complete with pictures of my first love - Cash Money. *Ya'll have heard me talk about Cash before, and you will probably hear more if you stick around. *
In loving memory: *Cash, you will never be forgotten! *Rest in peace ol girl. *Dam I miss you! MJ, looks like you and I had a similar "humble" beginning: 1968 17' Popcraft by Thunderbird 1975 70hp Evinrude ('81 powerhead *;D)    Feast your eyes on all that fishin room!! [img] http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d73/stinkery/Boat-CashMoney.jpg[/img] Come on guys...lets see those starter boats. You know you had something like this before your V20 - admit it!

Re: My First Boat

Re: My First Boat
Hope you don't mind me doing this MJ....
I decided to go get MJ's post from Hammer's "Should I..." post just to get it all in one place. Here it is straight from the big guy himself, and I quote: Here is a pic of the oringal MacoJoe. 1964 Hawkline 17' 1990 Merc 90 hp I learned with this boat that names suck!! when they see you there everyday they jump right in on your drift, cause they no can find fish on there own!! So I have never put anything on my Maco2 cause of that. But this was a nice pic my friend made up for me.  This is Eric and his son, right after he got the Name on, Shark came later

Re: My First Boat
I'm starting to see a trend. All of us guys that started out in dual consoles with full windshields have the V-20 cuddy. It seems we've been spoiled by the wind protection qualities and will never go center console (unless it is in addition to our cuddy model ;))
