Show me yours, I'll show you mine....

[Brother Dave]

Anyone want to post photos of their boats.....?

Brother Bill and I had this one built last year.....

[WaterDog]

How about some detail on that bad boy? Show me some interior pics and maybe a run down on some special options. Then I'll do the same. :smirk:

[Brother Dave]

Not sure where all my pics are at the moment, and have few good interior ones anyway, but I'll dig something up.

It's a few inches short, both dimensions, of 28'x10'....pushed by twin 200HO Etecs, with a 8hp high thrust Honda kicker. Raymarine E80, I think.

Bob the Builder gets much credit....

nice boats guy's

[Splash]

Always enjoy seeing your boat pics Waterdog. I drooled over them during the construction and drool now upon completion. That monster is just flat out SWEET!!!

About the only thing that boat is missing is me in the co-pilot seat. (I do have a drool bib so as not to mess up the interior.) :grin:

[Brother Dave]

Nicely done....you've obviously got that one dialed in...

Haven't been on a river in some time, though I can tell your's is the kind of boat to do it in....

Wish I had more pics of mine, though it's spartan in comparison....it does fish, though. We caught 53 kings, the first 5 days it was in the water....

[Ak Seahawk]

Damn fine boat there Waterdog. You must have those pictures on a trigger...LOL. What river are you running there. Looks like you have the prime settup. I never get tired of looking at boat pics!

[Brother Dave]

ICHTHYDEMON,

That's a nice looking rig also....is that a 21'?

[ICHTHYDEMON]

ICHTHYDEMON,

That's a nice looking rig also....is that a 21'?


Nope,its a 20'. I REALLY wanted the 21',but North River made the new 21' so much bigger than the old ones that it wouldn't fit in my garage. As it is now,the 20 fits in with about an 1" to spare for height. I can't back it all the way in the garage.I have to back it in until the windshield will hit and then lower the jack all the way down and push it in the last few feet.

Its got a F150 and T8 kicker. Its got a Raymarine depth/ff,a Garmin Chartplotter,Icom VHF,Standard Horizon handheld VHF,Lowrance Fuel flow gauge,and I'm installing XM radio this winter.

[Ak Seahawk]

ICH - nice boat...which top do you have for that one. I'll bet your WOT speed is around 50+........

[ICHTHYDEMON]

ICH - nice boat...which top do you have for that one. I'll bet your WOT speed is around 50+........

I have the standard North River Top Gun fabric for the top. It also has the drop down curtain across the back. Its really nice to enclose the entire cockpit. Its kind of a pain if your fishing,but for crabbing in the Winter its nice.

At WOT I'm right about 50-51. It gets on step in about 2 boat lengths. Its nice to have that much power on tap.

[Ak Seahawk]

Sweeet...what dia and pitch on your prop? 3 or 4 blade?

The first pic is on the Clackamas. Ran to the mine field that day. I've had it to the Rock Pile for Halibut and run the Snake from Heller to Pittsburg. It does what I want it to do. I too love boat pics. :)

[backlash442]

Waterdog, this may sound like a dumb question but doesn't the diamond plate get pretty hot in the summer? Can't imagine walking on that when it's 100 degrees. My gunnels (which are blue) get so hot that the mayfly's die on contact.

[Moldy45]

Seeing Waterdogs boat up close I really gotta say it is real sweet!
Even though it's lacking a stearing wheel:)

[BIGCSS]

Well this is my first post, I have been reading this forum for quite a while and decided I should finally post, also this post might help avoid some confusion at a later date. I am an avid jet boater/fisherman and have been fishing since some of my friends got me back into it in '98, but really didn't get the itch that I have now until my Dad and I went sturgeon fishing with one of his customers. It was a cold day in the Gorge and fishing was kind of slow. I didn't get a bite on my pole all day, but my Dad's friend hooked an oversize and proceded to hand the pole to me. Well we never did get to land the fish, but I got to fight it for about 45 minutes and we saw it tail walk twice and it was a big one. Anyhow I ended up getting a sled the next summer and have been fishing almost every weekend ever since. So back to the part of clearing up the confusion.... I also own a Precision Weld like Waterdog and actually his and mine are both the same color (and I have been mistaken for him on several occasions) but are quite different. I have an '05 24 ft Regal with 7ft bottom and 9ft beam. Center helm with stick steering, triple spring ride seats w/heated drivers seat, 8.1L, Hamilton 241, high deck, bow rails, bow ladder (for when in Hells Canyon), custom designed (by me) anchor nest (also removable to use the bow ladder), front and rear washdown stations, Yamaha T-8 w/tilt and start controls on dash, hot water sink, and I just ordered a TR-1 on the 26th. For electronics I have a Lowrance LCX-25C, Uniden Oceanus vhf w/wham, cb, and Panasonic stereo. This is one sweet boat and I have ran it on the Willamette, Columbia, and in Hells Canyon. The last 4 pictures are ones I took of Tom Maxfield (builder of PWelds) driving through Granite Creek Rapids in Hells Canynon, Sep. '05.

Sweeet...what dia and pitch on your prop? 3 or 4 blade?


My boat runs fastest with a 19" aluminum Yamaha 3 blade prop. When I first got my boat it had the 19" but I couldn't get enough rpms. The dealer gave me a 17" prop to try and it helped with the rpms. I wasn't convinced that the engine was mounted high enough and had the dealer raise it a couple inches. I gained a bunch of rpms and the the 19 ended up fine.

The dealer ended up giving me the 17" prop which is a Yamaha saltwater series II. I was pleasantly surprised as its a $600 prop.

I like the SS prop better. I gave up some top end but like I said it gets out of the hole fast. My kids like water sports so I spend as much time pulling tubes and such as I do fishing. The SS prop is the best of both worlds.

[WaterDog]

Waterdog, this may sound like a dumb question but doesn't the diamond plate get pretty hot in the summer? Can't imagine walking on that when it's 100 degrees. My gunnels (which are blue) get so hot that the mayfly's die on contact.

It only gets hot when it's in direct sunlight. I'm going to make a carpet runner that will take care of that tho'. I spend a lot of time in the back of the boat and one boat I had, showed quite a bit of wear after 3 years so I think the 3/16 diamond plate will hold up better. Besides my fuel tanks are under there as well.

Bigcss - Welcome to ifish. You might try the gallery feature that is offered on this site. :)

Thanks Jet and Waterdog for the welcome and thanks again Waterdog for the tip.

I took a gamble and it payed off.

9.9 Mariner Kicker, Console Controls for Kicker :yay:
Fisherman's top, fully enclosed

52 gallon fuel tank, Fish Finder, 5 rod holders, 2 cannon downriggers, anchor!!!!!

This boat did not run when I bought it, I took a gamble, invested a little cash in a good marina, get new tires and pack the bearings, and I have a sweet ride for less than the price of a Yamaha Dirt Bike!!!!!:yay: Hour gauge may or may not be correct but it says 220 hrs, not too bad for a 1987 boat with a set of 1991 OB's.

I took it out with the wife and it is SCARY FAST!!!!!!!!! 55 or so......Yikes!!!
