thats my 18' Marlin with the 454...i need a fishing boat tho lol

notice three mile island in the background...makes for a nice view

 

Drift boats allow fishermen to fish waters that are really shallow ( about 1 foot deep). Only the middle part sits in the water and you row it while 2 people up front fish. You can anchor and fish. Or run a small motor. Complicated little boats

 

techincly its a boat it does the job

 

Not pulled with the jeep, but I got a 2010 Trition 21HP Bass Boat with a Merc Verado 275, the thing is like a rocket

 

i've got a 1976 boston whaler montauk 17'. i got it for free with the engine about 6 years ago and it was in pretty sad shape, it was actually my first project before i got into jeeps since i got the boat when i was 15. i cleaned it up the best i could, painted it inside and out and got the 60hp yamaha four stroke running, it not to fast but awesome on gas.


i don't use my jeep to pull it since i haul boats professionally and using my work rig is way easier.

 

thats awesome i've seen thousands of boats and a handful of old cryslers but never one that cool looking and it that good of shape.

 

Sea Ray Sea Rayder F-14. Looks just like this:

Pretty Sexy behind the Jeep, great on gas, and fast.

 

old thread, but now its duck season, which means boating, which has nothing to do with this that i just rebuilt!

 

Looks sweet. What size motor you putting in it?

 

trying to find a 30hp suzuki, but the 3 cyl not 2. idk what speed i will get with that, but the 28hp racing motors get about 70 mph out of these. i have an old merc mark 55, but its on another hydro. im itching to run it, dry weight is 230 lb!

 

94 celebrity bow rider 18 footer volvo 4.3.

 

im pullin a 18foot ranger 482V tournament bass boat with a XR4 150hp merc on the rear end. my 2004 grand cherokee 4.0 4x4 pulls it like a champ. Ill get a picture up soon.

 

16 foot aluminum flatbottom with a Johnson 25 electric start. Had SeaRays, Bayliners, and Fish-n-Ski's - good boats, but wanted something simple to own/fish/haul. Cheap, easy shallow-water capable boat that I don't freak out when I bump something, LOL. Last "bump" in the SeaRay cuddy cabin cost me a couple of grand and a tow to shore.

 

o man how big was the bump lol!

this summer, i saw a guy tag a ledge that was only about 4 inches under in a cuddy cabin and it jumped outta the water pretty good and i gave him a tow in....and he gave me no tip! maybe he was saving money for some fresh fiberglass and a new L drive lol!!!

 

I love those old Chryslers! awesome lookin boat!
