Lipripper's new Predator-- Official Boat Braggin Day. Post yours!

Jennie@ifish · 04-09-2002, 09:13 AM

Just had this sent in.
WOW!
I have been informed that it is better to buy a boat and give it to a friend. That way, you can sit in the front and enjoy yourself, while others do the upkeep and maintenance.
I think that that is a grand idea.
Hand it over, Lip!
Jen

What a beaut!

My Pride and Joy, Threemuch II

I waited what seemed like a very, very long time for this boat. That saying about the two happiest days of a boat owner's life? Not true. Unless he is selling it to get a bigger boat.

That TRAILER cost more than my boat.

Today (04/09), I had to take my new boat to the dealership to have the motor lowered one notch (it was cavitating too easily). I took it for a test drive after the dealership was done. Cruising along the lake, I saw what looked like a stick poking out of the water. I approached the stick, and could see that it was actually a handle to something. I pulled it out of the water. It is a Bass Pro Shops net, tangle free rubber, telescoping 48 to 72 inch composite handle. These nets have a aluminum ring, and a foam rubber grip, causing it to float vertically. It looks brand new. They sell for $39.99! The fish gods at the lake have sent me a gift for my new boat! Now if I can get a chance to go fishing...

I've seen some nice boats here. That's a good lookin boat Liprpper! Here is my 21ft Maxxum made by Unique. Not many see or hear of these boats made here in Eugene. My dream boat put more hours on it in it's first year than my prevous fiberglass boat did in 8 years.

Sureset, I've taken on one of those stumps at Craine Prairie with this boat. No dent, but not something I would reccomend!

Reel Livin' · 04-09-2002, 08:41 PM

Those are some beautiful boats! Here's a pic of mine, although she's not quite as shiny these days.

My wife and I don't have any children yet, but this one makes me feel like a proud papa. 21' Duckworth....and she's worth every penny.

Looking forward to seeing some of you out there!

metalhead madness · 04-09-2002, 09:31 PM

Troller · 04-09-2002, 11:03 PM

Nice boat. I wish I had a digital camera to take a picture of my new boat. It is a 22 foot Alumaweld formula Vee 18 degree bottom with outdrive bracket and 200 hp mecury and 15 hp honda . Metalic green

Jennie@ifish · 04-09-2002, 11:14 PM

SureSet · 04-09-2002, 11:34 PM

Cool Boat and quite a step up from the Smokercraft! Just one question though.... Are you going to take that new beauty through the stumps at Craine Prairie for the trout opener? :shocked:

SureSet

Now that is one beautiful North River. The color and canvas match mine!

Lured In · 04-10-2002, 08:04 PM

Nice boat Leroy. Just picture your boat in Teal green with two years on it and lots fish blood across the deck and that would be my boat. :tongue:

DF · 04-10-2002, 10:16 PM

Going in next week to pick up our new boat!
WOOOOOOOO!

[img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img]

Herring Impaired · 04-11-2002, 09:47 AM

Lured In, that pic was taken when I brought it home two years ago. And like yours, it has seen it's share of fish blood and scales.

It also sports three www.ifish.decals and I fish in the Camas/Washougal area alot.

Wave if ya see me....

Lured In · 04-11-2002, 10:11 AM

Leroy, I thought I babied mine, but your's looks pristine!

If I bust out some aluminum polish I might be able to put that shine back on mine.

I have two ifish decals on mine. They are right at the aft end of the NR decals on the sides. There are two other teal NR's running around up here, one has a dark gray top the other has a a light gray top, like mine, but it has a honda kicker.

I'll keep an eye out for you!

Firedog · 04-11-2002, 12:56 PM

DK, the launch in the picture Reel Livin posted looks like Willamette park. It is south of Downtown Portland, just down stream from Sellwood.

DK · 04-11-2002, 02:23 PM

thank you firedog, going to be staying right on the river at some friends condo thought the area looked familar, in that case the launch is right dowm the street think i'm going to try and take advantage of the situtation, think i can get the boat hooked up without the wife knowing ? dk

Beer Waggin · 04-11-2002, 02:43 PM

mmmmm, only pictures I ever took of my boat had fish in front of them. Little bro with his catch of the day.

Wish I still had that boat :depressed: :depressed: :depressed:
Somebodies catching fish with it I hope.

Phish_on · 04-11-2002, 03:17 PM

I don't have fancy camera or nothin'

If you've seen me, you recognize the boat

BlueWater · 04-11-2002, 10:14 PM

After looking at the post I thought we needed a little more Fiberglass.

Here is my namesake. She is a 19' Bluewater Cudy 2

See ya on the Water.

BlueWater. :grin:

DK · 04-11-2002, 11:45 PM

does any body know of the launch reel liven is at it appears to be reel close to where i'm going to be saturday and if it is i'm thinking of pulling the boat down, by chance is that east of I.5 on the willamette where all the boat docks are? thank you dk

PittsburghD · 04-12-2002, 08:17 PM

The ski boat's not much of a fisher, but the FishCat Toon. Now that's my boat of choice. Rivers, lakes, etc... Maintenance...air every third week maybe. Fits in the Dodge and rocks the rapids when the fishing sucks. Need to add a cup holder though.

--D

Reel Livin' · 04-12-2002, 08:32 PM

DK,

Firedog is correct, I was putting in at the Willamette Park ramp when I took the picture. It's a very nice ramp and the dock is in good shape. I imagine that it is a busy ramp with folks targeting the Sellwood area.

Good luck out there!

Dan Christopher · 04-30-2002, 10:08 PM

better late then never ,so here is the big boat.we call her the (fish taxi)

Hoosier Daddy · 05-01-2002, 07:50 AM

Not my boat, but change the topside trim to green, replace the windshield with a wooden step through, and add the I-fish and "Hoosier Daddy" stickers, and you're pretty close.

Thought I'd add mine, since it's finally got it's stickers....

Small Fry · 05-06-2002, 07:42 PM

How do I get a Photo added to this link???

I would like to show off my new boat.

fishchaser · 05-06-2002, 08:07 PM

It's not much, but it gets me into fish. And that's all we all want out of a boat, right?
