1 Dusky 23 i'll die with it..

Captain Juan · 07-18-2008, 11:04 AM

Cono, just like a similar thread on reels, a lot of you guys have had a lot of nice boats, especially Certifable.

I am thinking this thread is for boats either we've owned or, when younger, parents owned, not boats Uncle Pepe or cousin Rico owned.

Here goes...

Formula 23'
Sears inflatable 12' with engine bracket
Sears aluminum V-bottom 12'
Oceanic 21'
Contender 25'

High tides!!!

Juani

Sopla2o · 07-18-2008, 09:48 PM

Wow.... All this big cash with boats.... I kept it simple, mostly because I was broke....

1-1996 22 ft Aquasport... AKA "Aqua-Shower"

1-2007 25 ft Dusky... What an awesome ride...

Disco Lady · 07-19-2008, 08:57 PM

COÑO!!!!!!!!! Only on a Dusky!! Sopla, I love...... those boats.

DL,

The BEAST · 07-19-2008, 09:16 PM

I've personally owned 16 boats that I can remember. None were my parents or Uncle and Aunt, Frick and Frack!

I've owned 3 WorldCats in the last 10 years, a 27 and two 33's. I doubt seriously that I will ever go back to a V-hull in a CC type.

I owned a 256 Dusky prior to the WorldCats and it was a good ride but killed my knees to fish 3 days in a row. I guess that's more of a V-hull thing, though!

Uncle Buck · 07-20-2008, 08:55 PM

Just 1... 21' Sailfish CC... and I'm not likely to trade it anytime soon.

I keep my large ticket items for as long as possible. I don't like leases or care about having a "new" model every year. I still live in my first home. (13 years now) I've only owned 4 cars in 17 years. First 2 were used and I drove 'em 'til they cost too much fix. 3rd was new, and I drove it hard for 7 years 'til the engine was on it's way out for the second time, and not under warranty. Still in my 4th for 5 years now.
