its an awsome rush, the acceleration and g`s when turning is huge.... soo much fun..

AUSSIE54 · 06-16-2011, 08:47 AM

G'day 69,
Just gotta love the old woody's!! Here are a few shots of mine. Was in the build for about 18 - 24 months and then with a few lifes changes it all stopped and has been in storage awaiting completion for the last 6 years.

The engine is a 3.8litre Buick V6 which are commonly found in some of the local cars over here. I have a soft clutch set up on it at the moment but have recently picked up a 2 speed powerglide that I hope to adapt (reverse will be handy).

All of the shiny bits have been made by myself and are of 316 Stainless Steel. 20 hours in the steering wheel and a solid 18 hours in the guage surround.

The hull has been fully reskinned from bow to stern and the graphics were laid on by a mate in a weekend. Can't wait to get in on the water but still maybe another season off yet.

AUSSIE54 · 06-16-2011, 08:50 AM

Here's the last couple of shots

brad_man_72 · 06-29-2011, 01:27 PM

wow that is a beautiful boat! Great work, I can't wait to see it finished.

fastwillie 696969 · 06-29-2011, 02:52 PM

sweet boat aussie

bruin_d · 06-29-2011, 04:34 PM

My last 2 boats. The first one has 950 horsepower. The second one has 280,000 shaft horsepower...

**JJorgensen52** · 06-29-2011, 08:55 PM

I'm presently stationed on one of these:

But, my old truck towing my not-quite-so-old boat

It's a '75 Boston Whaler 13 sport.

And, my truck towing my other old boat (which is currently torn apart for restoration) out of a field...

This one's a '62 CustomCraft Sting Ray

Timbo1 · 07-27-2011, 01:32 PM

Here is a couple of mine from Lake Powell this year. The first one is running @ 95 mph,

Thank you Timbo, I had a shop during the middle 90's when I was in-between "real" jobs. Boats, cradles, hope chests...wrecked alot of wood!

AUSSIE54 · 11-03-2011, 08:31 AM

I agree! Those boats look just fantastic slomotion. You are very talented.

Here is mine: 1989 Correct Craft Ski Nautique 2001

Redid the interior last winter with all new carpet and vinyl.

68C15 · 11-06-2011, 11:32 PM

nothing fancy from my budget. but you have to admit, they sure had style back then.
first is my 65 Johnson 17' with the original 100hp Golden Meteor I GPS'd @ 38MPH on a 2 mile long lake. it comes out of the hole like a door slamming drag car. I always wondered what it would do with a different prop

next is my current ride. a 1971 Alumacraft Jamaica 15' since my boys showed no interest in tubing I decided to get this for the wife and I to strictly fish. it planes out at 28MPH and trolls down to 1.3 at idle. last winter I built removable front and rear casting decks with a livewell in each, 2 Lowrance sonars, a 65PD AP minnkota, and tuned up the old Mercury 500. I got it from the original owner and he used it for a total of 6 years. the rest of it's life was spent in his garage under cover except for when he waxed it and winterized it yearly.

finally a link to my next boat. I will get it early next summer when the Taho is paid off and they are making killer deals.
http://www.alumacraft.com/2012-model...ort/175-sport/
I will get it with the 150 Yamaha and walk-through windshield.

nothing like progression, 1965 ($600)-1971($500)-2012(so broke I will have to catch my own bait)

KShortell · 11-18-2011, 02:39 PM

My ride:

1987 Bayliner Capri 2152

Slowtruk · 11-18-2011, 03:05 PM

Here is mine. I pull it with the suburban or the C20.

AUSSIE54 · 02-08-2012, 06:42 PM

G'day Slowtruk,

That's a fun looking party boat you have there. When I looked at the first photo though i thought to myself wow that's one hell of a mast on that vessel!! Lol.

Regards,

Trently.
