Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 17, 2011 Global Moderator Posted March 17, 2011 I bought a crawdad 8foot 2 man boat when I was 11 for 50 bucks. Paid for it with change I could find and my 5 dollar a week allowance. The guy I bought it from was nice enough to let me make payments! ;D Tons of fish caught out of that little boat and it was almost all silicone, expanding foam, and gorilla glue by the time I got rid of it.

ROCbass Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 My first and only boat (technically its my dad's boat, but I'm the only who ever uses it) is a 16' Grumman square stern canoe. I'm hoping to get something a little more suitable for some of the larger lakes around here this summer. Quote
sodaksker Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 16 foot 1980 Lund pike with console and a 35HP evinrude. Purchased in 1994 for $2500. Quote

tkite16 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Had a 10ft Jon boat with a small Minn kota. My girlfriend (now wife) lived in a lake community. We would pick it up at her parents house after school and strap it down to the top of my chevette to get it to the lake. 8-) Had $300 in the boat ,motor and car. Quote
lynyrdsky1 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Trying to find my first boat........ :-[ Quote
atrocity123 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 My very first boat was my Mako 171, taught me a lot about responsibility and seamanship, also had a lot of great memories on it . Not a bass boat but that didn't stop me from taking it on the lake: Quote
BassAdict Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 This one is my first boat. I just bougth it one month a go. Is a Bass Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW 2007 with a Mercury 60HP FourStroke EFI. Trolling motor 46 pounds. I pay $9,500.00 Was a deal?? Uploaded with ImageShack.us Quote
Tucson Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I put off a boat purchase until I was 54. Not a lot of incentive when you live in Southern AZ! Finally pulled the trigger and got a Crestliner Canadian 18' w/Yamaha 60. I've towed it to Florida twice and now have it stored about 7 miles from the lake I fish. Very happy with it. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted March 24, 2011 Super User Posted March 24, 2011 My first boat was purchased in 1964. a 10-foot Appleby aluminum jon boat from White-Modell's. I don't recall the price but it was powered by Caviness oars, and used for angling and waterfowling. A year later, I clamped on an air-cooled 5-HP Eska outboard that set me back $100. I'm now on my 13th boat, but that 10-ft Appleby is still among my favorites. Roger Quote
Nice_Bass Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Is on order...should have it mid April. Nice...i will be looking for you on the water...should not be hard with that color! Quote
Super User Way2slow Posted March 27, 2011 Super User Posted March 27, 2011 I bought my first in 1960. It's a 17' aluminum Grumman canoe and I bought it used and paid $40. I said it's, because I still have it. Quote
jokerjp1301600387 Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Is on order...should have it mid April. Nice...i will be looking for you on the water...should not be hard with that color! I should probably be looking for YOU since I've never really fished the bigger lakes of central IL. Clinton, Decatur, Springfield haven't spent anytime on them in the past. I'm very much looking forward to getting that baby home soon! Quote
unageo09 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 My first and only boat is a 1994 MonArk Aluminum Bass Boat. I think its 16 1/2 foot. Has a 40 HP Force Motor on it. We are the third owner. Purchased it in 2003 or 2004 I think. We're looking to upgrade one day to maybe a Bass Tracker. Quote
boystcroix Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Mine was a sea-nymph 14R. i got it for $400 added switchboard, lights and eagle fishfinder. i was given a Merc. 9.8hp that didn't run right, replaced the impeller and cdi box and never had a problem with it. i put a Minnkota transom mount trolling motor on and she did me right for about 6 years of fishing till i got sick of fishing from the back - nice memories though. oh yeah sold it for $1200 ,she did me well Quote
vegas679 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Just got my first boat last week. It's a Lowe Little Jon, 1232. I know it's small but it is what I was looking for to fish small ponds. It came with a trailer, 3hp Sears Gamefisher, 24 lb Minn Kota trolling motor, anchor, and oars. $400. I think I got a pretty good deal. I'm gonna use it this year and see what I like and dont like about it. Then next year I'll probably sell it and get somthing a little wider, maybe 1236. Quote
Dean Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 12' jon with a 2hp gamefisher outboard., she gets me from a to b, and goes places bigger bass boats cant. im happy with it Quote
