Let's see them pretty boats!!

rola76 · 11-20-2003, 09:40 AM

I'm one of those I-Fishers who loves pics!! We see lots of fish, but I wanna see some sleds, drifters, or other fishing machines!!

Here are mine...a 2001 Weldcraft Renegade and a co-owned Hyde drifter.

Images can be seen in my album (can't get them loaded here for some reason)--> Boat/Fishing Pics

OK, so it really doesn't look special from this angle, but what the heck. At least half the beauty of a drift boat is where it goes and how it feels, right?

fishingfirst · 11-20-2003, 10:39 AM

Or......maybe a NOT so pretty boat! :grin:

My signature line works pretty good with this picture too!

ampersat · 11-20-2003, 10:41 AM

I like the fact that after they rammed the boat onto the piling, they tied it up "just in case".

My boat's not pretty yet. When she is, you'll see pics. Got my three coats of varnish on the wood last weekend and it's real pretty now. I'm still wrapping up some other stuff and waiting for the warmest days possible to bend the rails on. Stay tuned...

fishingfirst · 11-20-2003, 10:43 AM

I thought that was funny too. This guy is not having very good luck with boats......notice the name is Temporary Insanity II. I think I would quite buying boats if I were him.

h20dog · 11-20-2003, 10:44 AM

Here's a shot after 3 hand polishings.

sorry its so dark but it was raining outside that day and I didn't want to get her wet :grin:

rola76 · 11-20-2003, 10:52 AM

Hey H20dog...what can I pay you to make mine look like that???

TheRogue · 11-20-2003, 10:57 AM

I'll play!!!

TR

Spawnsack · 11-20-2003, 12:25 PM

Hey your boat looks bigger than your house. That is one sweet ride.
I want one too [img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img]
Jerry

h20dog · 11-20-2003, 12:28 PM

Rola, i chrome her out once a year. takes me about 2 weeks and 200 beers.

I just lemon joyed and steamed cleaned the entire thing and as soon as I get over this dang cold I'm goin for full chromation. The answer to your question is, by the time I finish mine nothing in the world could get me to start another.......till next year

rola76 · 11-20-2003, 12:32 PM

H2Odog...I can only imagine!!

As for the rest of you, I should've never started this post...now I want a new boat and my boat is still new!! :shocked:

steelhooked · 11-20-2003, 12:38 PM

here's mine. 16ft willies.

Killertraylor · 11-20-2003, 01:07 PM

Spawnsack - that's pretty funny, but it's a friend's house - and you're right - the square footage is very similar

Fishfeet · 11-20-2003, 01:08 PM

Hey Pete! What river is that? It looks slightly familiar! Oh yah! And nice boat! :grin: Sorry folks I`m still a bankee, so no boat pix. ....Yet. Fishft.

Riverkeeper · 11-20-2003, 01:16 PM

Since I uploaded it to ifish I think I've used this pic in at least 3 or 4 posts.

Not enough drifter pics yet so here is my pride and joy...

fishchaser · 11-20-2003, 02:14 PM

She's not the prettiest boat on the water, but she's paid for and she's mine. Plus she floats real well.

skrimmy · 11-20-2003, 02:34 PM

It's been fondly referred to as "the pimpmobile"!
Hey, after a couple coats of sharkshide, it's not quite as shiny now.

6wapiti6 · 11-20-2003, 02:47 PM

Not up close and personal like some, but here's the whole set up at Oxbow Res. on the Snake this memorial day...

MicroFish · 11-20-2003, 03:01 PM

Well, I'll play---here's mine. She ain't all that pretty/fancy but gets the job done & that's OK by me.

Jennie@ifish · 11-20-2003, 03:01 PM

Sorry, cut off part of it! It's there, really! :smile:

Jen

Costalot · 11-20-2003, 03:04 PM

I'll play to.
20 foot Intruder, 150 horse, 9.9 kicker.
My bank sure has a nice boat and they let me use it time i want.

All those boats, and where are the ifish decals?

Pete · 11-20-2003, 03:07 PM

Sticker! Proudly displayed!

Tanner · 11-20-2003, 03:07 PM

Jen
What is that you are holding there? Is that a guitar fish???? :grin:

Pitch Pocket · 11-20-2003, 03:14 PM

Pete took this last winter at the sturgeon derby.

I'll get by somehow in the cold winds of the Columbia.

Livin the Dream · 11-20-2003, 04:27 PM

Heres the one I own.....

And here's the one I own just a little bit more of
every month.

Love them both. Stickers are now on the Willie and have one left for the T-Jet. Look for us Saturday at the Fishery.

AL

Jennie@ifish · 11-20-2003, 04:37 PM

2 stickers on the back, and black lettering with www.ifish.net

:smile:

Just the wrong angle, and Tanner, that, my friend... is a banjo fish. Guitar? Heck, no!

Jen

Fast Action · 11-20-2003, 06:07 PM

Hey Steve, I will tell you what. The most fish I have ever caught out of a boat was an old wooden drift boat that leaked like a siv. If it floats don't knock it. Fish do not care what a boat looks like. We do :grin:

ZaQ · 11-20-2003, 06:53 PM

Not fantatsic by any stretch, but it all mine. And it catches a fish now and than.

And my sled, the Super Z

My brother and my 2003 Custom Weld Cobra SE at the Snohomish confluence.

Sorry, I didn't have ifish decals when I took the picture. :smile:

STGRule · 11-20-2003, 07:47 PM

Pretty boat? "We don't need no stinkin pretty boat" We have Mr. Boat.

For the lakes:

For the dogs:

For the dogs and the estuary:

PS The decal is at the back of the boat.

Cap'n Ron · 11-20-2003, 08:15 PM

Hmmm..guess I'm gonna have to snap some photos of the barge. This is the only one I could dig up that was already on the hard drive. It is lookin back from the drivers seat--2001 Custom Weld Storm somewhere on the Snake near Heller Bar.

crabbait · 11-20-2003, 08:25 PM

Here is the big one before we put the glass in the side windows and before the kicker was installed.

And yes, the Sculpin is paid for.

rola76 · 11-20-2003, 11:01 PM

Rogue,

I think you should trade that junky Boice for my Weldcraft! I'll even throw in...say...a few Mag Warts! :grin:

TheRogue · 11-20-2003, 11:22 PM

R76...

I happen to know where there's one just like it with stern rails and the trolling motor cut-out on the other side!! :grin: :grin:

TR

Fast Action · 11-20-2003, 11:23 PM

No not mine. I am sure someone else saw it on the Nehalem while drifting

Pete · 11-20-2003, 11:24 PM

Of course, there are some other boats that always seem to be anchored in the best fishing spots!

Killertraylor · 11-20-2003, 11:59 PM

O.K. twist my arm. :blush: I never get bored with showing off my pride and joy. [img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img] Just had her in to NR after 3 years of trouble free ownership for installation of a Washdown pump and fuel flow meter - always need to add a new toy or two every year! The fuel flow meter is awesome - even keeps track of how many gallons you use per trip so you don't need to ever depend on those dashboard mounted fuel guages that never seem to be accurate. TUNA here I come!

rv10pilot · 11-21-2003, 06:28 AM

:shocked: :shocked: With all these boat-owners on I-Fish, we should have some sort of an extravaganza. You know how you see a bunch of Corvettes or vintiques rolling down the road? How cool would that be if we did the same with a bunch of boats?

Then we could all go somewhere that ALL boats could run, like a huge reservoir or on the CR.

Picture was taken on the Siletz last winter.

I have stickers - now I need to figure out a place to put it. :grin:

rola76 · 11-21-2003, 07:38 AM

Rogue,

I'll fill your intake with garbage bags so I can take you!!

What do you top out at? With my Weldcraft completely emptied out I can get around 50mph, which is plenty fast for me considering it's a V6 and I don't really need to go that fast! :tongue:

Birdnest · 11-21-2003, 07:42 AM

Great thread. I love boats.

Here is "No Quarter", 20' Hewescraft Searunner. :grin:

Here is a shot at Sucia Island. I really feel lucky to have the San Juan's in my back yard.

Crabbait---I wish you and Skein would post more pics of those tanks.

Here is mine, 20 foot Weldcraft

Miss B Haven · 11-21-2003, 08:47 AM

Hmmm- not to good a job on the sizing, but then I'm just a Tunaholic not an artist! [img]graemlins/stupid.gif[/img] :grin:

Maybe somebody can help me out?

All fixed

PS- there is an ifish sticker on my back window in the cockpit. Guess I need a couple more on the sides huh? :smile:

Yellow North River · 11-21-2003, 03:14 PM

First time Posting a Picture. Hope it works. This is what I got when I turned 40.

Yellow North River,

Don't feel bad, most people's eyesight begins to fail as they pass that magic age, you might try corrective lenses.

:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img] BTW Nice boat!
