Default Holes in the water we've owned

I am sure it has been done on here but maybe get a fresh take on it. Dig into your memory banks and list the boats you have owned, or at least the ones you can remember.

16' MFG with a 40hp Johnson

17' Hydrostream with a 200 Black Max

19' Cobia cuddy with a 4.3 OMC Cobra

25' IMP with a 330hp 454/Bravo

25' IMP with a 502/Bravo

31' IMP with twin 454's/Bravos

14' Seadoo Speedster with twin 720's

18' Hydrostream Vking with a 2.5 Merc

SR-1 292 Formula with twin 502's/Bravos

42' Fountain with triple 675hp 548's/Bravos

another 14' Seadoo Speedster with twin 720's

18' Seebold Eagle tunnel with a 150 Merc Optimax

19' Bayliner Trophy CC with a 200 Merc Optimax


Currently still own the Fountain and the Bayliner CC.

410 Sea Ray with Cats
270 Sea Ray with 6.2
41' Volante (Aus boat) with Cats
27' Pachanga twin 502's

A bunch of ski boats and ski race boats including Bullets, Flightcraft, Stephens, Predator, Peter Bradley Minx.

A few runabouts including Pride, Caribbean, Haines, Signature, Swifcraft.

Everything down to my first power boat pictured below. (A little embarrassing)

I'm sure I've missed a couple but my next boat is always the best one!

14' Sportcraft bow rider, 75hp Merc to an 85hp Force (a poor "upgrade", may I add)

Checkmate 21' Entertainer, 200hp 2.4 Merc to a 2.4 Bridgeport and back again.


14' Aerocraft, 1957 Johnson 7.5 Sea Horse

24' Crest pontoon, 50hp Johnson


PowerPlay 185XLT, 260 Mercruiser/Alpha



Stingray 230SX, 496 Mag/Bravo



Jaws/Lorequin 24' CC, 3.0L 250hp Merc

There's probably one or two that I've forgotten... But I think I'm going to stick with this Progression for a while.

Progression boats have a great line to them, a bit old school but that Powerplay looks sweet! Any more pics?

A few... It's definitely a boat I miss from time to time. Super easy to tow, easy to launch and load alone, high 50's, 24* deadrise. I may own another someday, but it's the only I/O on my radar. This is a Michigan PowerPlay, before the lawsuit/name change to Powerquest.

Speedracer29, I'm gonna steal this photo from you and post it the next time I see someone having a dig at pontoon boats.
If I lived on a nice placid lake or river, I'd own a toon with a bar, some lounges, an eggbeater and a thatched Bimini top!
How good would that be?
