Re: Show us your "average" boat
Here's mine. Got the new manifolds on yesterday getting closer all the time. Light is at the end of the tunnel. Except for about half a dozen minor glitches of course.
The "Silent Thunder Box" will be gone with a clean transom complete with new Stainless Marine tips.
Pictures are scanned and clean up when clicked on to make larger.

Re: Show us your "average" boat
Here's ours. It's all we can comfortably afford and costed us less than it appears to "non-boaters" 
I'd rather have 7 or 8 of these than a new one!!!

I have to admit, I get a little jealous when I see someone having a problem of where to spend their half-a-million in play money. I would hate to see new-comers to this sport discouraged because they can't afford the latest craze.
I put every spare nickel I have into it, thank god my wife supports it

Couldn't have said it better myself!
This will be a great thread to follow. Remember- It's not 'yours' till you mess with it yourself!

Re: Show us your "average" boat
Here's my wife and I having "above-average" fun! It's not about how much you spend... it's about how much non-boaters THINK you spent!
Just kidding, it's about how much you grin every time you are out on the water!
