Show us your "average" boat
 

Look-it, we all drool over the new iron that is posted here and with good reason. Nothing is more impressive than the latest offshore boat that unlimited coin will buy. The proud owners post because we all want to drool.

BUT, how about the boats that make up the majority of the board. You know, the ones that we run when money permits and fix ourselves when it lays down on us. The boats that each owner customizes in an attempt to come close to the ideal compromise ie:money.

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 :drink:
Here's mine...

It looks like a midget sitting next to Otis's Tiger, but it'll have
to do.

Mine

Re: Show us your "average" boat
 

Great shots guys, keep 'em comin'.

Beleive me, I do consider myself lucky to have a boat like mine in the driveway. It has cost me less than you might think. Just ALOT of my own hours into it.

I know that it will never be the eye candy that many of the boats we've seen on the board and that's ok. I have just found myself discouraged from time to time as this project has taken as long as it has. I know that I 'm not alone in that "boat". I want the majority of the people on the board to know that ANY boat is worthy of being here.

Back to it :drink:

Re: Show us your "average" boat
 

The red one is mine.

Re: Show us your "average" boat
 

I really couldn't be happier with my boat. I entertained thoughts of selling it a couple weeks ago, but there's really not another boat that I could afford that I'd want. She ain't too bad, even though she's old enough to buy cigarrettes. :p

Re: Show us your "average" boat
 

Nice Boat Bryan... did I notice #3's hanging off the back of that fountain?............. :D Things could be worse... you could be boating in this......... :drink:

Re: Show us your "average" boat
 

Try again.

Re: Show us your "average" boat
 

Bryan,
Average boat with nose cones? This is what I call average. Under 30' with stock power/drives, didn't pay extra for custom paint job. What you consider average depends on your financial status. Average appearance is a different story.

Re: Show us your "average" boat
 

Here is Ours........

Re: Show us your "average" boat
 

Yes, much worse. You could be the patriarch of a suasage party! :eek:

Re: Show us your "average" boat

Re: Show us your "average" boat
 

We are not "Average" boat people!!! We eat, sleep and breath this stuff on the best website out there!!! Whats average about that? :D

Re: Show us your "average" boat
 

Here's home brewed and maintained, as soon as it gets finished at home.

Re: Show us your "average" boat
 

LMAO!!!!!!!!! we need more photoshop threads!

Re: Show us your "average" boat
 

Here is mine. Didn't cost a lot but it puts a big smile on my face especially when I outrun a boat that cost a lot more. :D

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
 

Only a little bit larger than average.

Re: Show us your "average" boat
 

Great thread guys. Here is my under 30 stock power/drive boat. Reasonable cost for appearance and performance.

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" :D :D

I'd rather have 7 or 8 of these than a new one!!! :cool:

Re: Show us your "average" boat
 

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! :D

Just kidding, it's about how much you grin every time you are out on the water! :D
