Mike B,Would you mind posting mine too?Please.I wish I was a better hand at these computers.I'll send it too you.If you feel like it thats great.If not thats ok too.

Thanks for the compliments. It really is a wonderful boat. The boat is 30' and no it doesn't take a staff to run it. In fact I've went out several times by myself and had no problem unloading, fishing or loading the boat. I've always had trailers with rollers and this trailer is the big King with bunks. It's easier to load than my old boat on rollers. I finally did something on this one that I've always wanted to do. I bought, parked it and did all my own rigging. It was a lot of fun and I now know every nook and cranny so if there is ever a problem I will have a working knowledge of where to look.
Chaser, if you meant a yellow lab then it was me at the docks in Everett. He's aged quite a bit in the last 6 months and just isn't up to jumping in and out like he used to be.

Here's that picture of HntnFshs' boat.



SWEET!

Here's a couple of pic's of Steelymann's nice looking new drift ride...



and



Ya know...I love powered sleds...but there is just something about a nice DB that makes it more appealing to me.

Nice boat Mike!

Mike B

Thank you Mike.Your help is much appreciated.

Those are my fishing machines.My wife is holding a Cowlitz summer run.The boat was Willies show boat in 98.

Our 2nd anniversary will be in Aug.Our 1st fishing trip together,the bite was really slow,actually non-existant.After several hours I told her "Fishings pretty slow,we can head in if you want" Her reply was " Its kind of early to get off the river dont you think"I new then I was hooked. I proposed to her a few months later during a very succesful summer stealhead trip on the Cow.

She broke off a leader and as she was looking in the box for a swivel,she found the ring.Fortunately for me she didnt hesitate to say yes.

Shes been the best fishing partner I could ever ask for.

Just like every other fisherman,I think I have the best of the best.

Thanks Mike. When Isaw the new 17x60 I knew I had to get one. Love that boat. If your down this way we'll have to take a ride.

"steelymann"

Thats pretty cool!

Steelyman.. that boat could have come out of my driveway. I also have a new 17x60 Willies. Mine is dark green in color and set up exactly like yours. I had a custom cover built for it and a couple different sets of oars. Nice boats for sure.

Here are some Photos of an old Antique I have had for 11 years or so Think I paid $900.00 or so for the boat With a 65 H.P. Merc with a pump and an ancient EZ load trailer.
I Painted it, put on a riser, an Evinrude 90 (65 Jet ) and am on my Third Kicker motor I don.t think the main has even 100 hours on it.
A couple of years ago I got tired of tripping over Fuel cans so I Installed an 18 Gallon tank under the Console.
I keep on thinking about selling it but Its paid for has a new trailer and catches fish.
By the way (is it steelymans boat in the picture?)I recognise that Launch that the willys is on, My dads old backyard. If you look up in that tree that overhangs the launch You might just find a few years worth of number 1 or 2 brass colored vibrax with single siwash hooks stuck in various places out of reach up in the tree. Before the flood in 94 there was a slot on that side of the river that always was good for a summer run or two. actually even now if you walk upriver to just before the property line, summer run like to hold there on that side after coming up the fast water below. I used to hook one or two out of there with small spinners quite often.

Ok I finally got around to taking a pic. Here is the "CHASERCRAFT" on it's new trailer.

She's a tub in white water but solid

Good one Lead!

I have an Alumaweld Intruder, the same color as AuntyM.

If you get the 20' model, and get an inboard jet, then you've got the BEST SINGLE ALL-AROUND BOAT there is.

Ok, ok, a 23' Duckworth with an inboard jet would probably be at least as good. But the point is that a roughly 10-12-14 degree "V", with an inboard jet, in an all-welded aluminum boat, with a canvas removable top, is the best ALL-AROUND boat out there, bar none!!!!

But I gotta admit, a 25' Grady White, sitting in the water, is the SWEETEST LOOKING boat around! Hey HogHunter, I'll trade ya!

My boat,

Bill Herzog, Nick and my son Jeremy with a few Columbia Springers.

My hobby.......just wish there was more time to hobby and less work. However, that being said, if I didn't work I wouldn't have the hobby!

Lavro, the "American Standard" of drift boats.

OK Mooch

No making fun of my Lavro

You appear to have some minor blemishes on your boat, take her down to Ron and get those fixed A.S.A.P :p
