[SStracker]

Im really happy with it, Now I just need to figure out all the electronics. lol

[GBPackerNut]

Well here is a couple, not very good pics, but should get the idea.

From the back:

Side shot:

And packing up that evening:

We didn't catch anything but then again I didn't pick up any live bait as I knew we would only have about 3 hours on the water...

Maybe it's just me but I think the lifejackets are a GREAT Idea!!!!

[Ray Esboldt]

I like the Z stripe on the side...I mean the lightening bolt.

[CrowRiverRat83]

GBPackerNut, that Alumacraft is probably one of the coolest boats I've seen on here. Thats my style of boat all the way. Nice!

[huntingislife]

Here's my baby.

1800 Pro-V Tiller

[solbes]

Nice looking Pro-V Tiller. How do you like the transom Minnkota?

[Burnham]

lol my dad was like you better wear your life jackets, and for once i actually would have for sure worn them even without him saying haha...(i dont always wear it in my 14 ft v hull, usually take it off when im fishing because i cant stand it)but yea i wont take it off in the jon boat lol

[CrowRiverRat83]

Ha ha, good call on the jackets. That would be my thinking too.

[Patti]

It's nothing fancy but its mine!!

Actually, its a family heirloom...first boat I ever fished out of as

a little girl. 14ft '60 Crestliner and a '63 Johnson 18hp.

Both in great condition.

[Burnham]

hey patti, i think its the img code on photobucket that you have to use...hope you get the pic up

[GBPackerNut]

Thanks man! Nice to see some love for regular boats on here, I used to visit another forum a while back, and it seemed like everyone over there was running 65K Rangers and other boats of that caliber. Dont get me wrong, it would be great to have a huge 20' Warrior or Ranger with a 250 on the back. But heck I wouldnt know where to park it, and then I would have to worry about filling the gas tanks!

Gotta love some of these older classic boats, reminds me of fishin with dad 20+ years ago.

Here is a couple better pictures of my rig...

The Vantage is awesome! One of the best investments I have made.

[nate larson]

GBPackerNut,

Your boat is sweet! That is exactly what I have in mind for my first boat. Does Alumacraft still make the Yukon? I see the Lunker on their website which looks pretty similar. Did you buy yours new or used?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Vikingmeatwad,

Is that a 1993 Alumacraft Competitor? Looks just like my mother-in-law's boat!

[GBPackerNut]

Yukon was discontinued, bought it used about a month ago.

It would be very similar to a classic 165 or lunker 165, optioned with the vinyl flooring.

The Lunker is a little bit lighter, and has the small livewell like mine. The classic has a bigger livewell.

By biggest complaint is the rod storage, I can only fit 6'6" rods, I need to figure out a solution for 7 and 8 foot rods...

[Ralph Wiggum]

GBPackerNut,

I like the boat--love the vinyl floor. That's a great rig!

[dougr1969]

Here is a picture of my 97 Lund Angler SS. Wife and I bought the boat right off the Fishing MN for sale forum two years ago. Boat has provided us both with many memories......and a few fish too!

[Jim Panfish Uran]

GB, that is a solid fishing boat!!!! And Doug, you can't go wrong with a Lund !!!

[bassNspear]

hey patti, im glad you got the boat up here to show everyone what it looks like. even better shape in person

[Patti]

Thanks Jason. It even started on the 2nd pull on opening day!! (pretty good for a motor born the same year I was)

I think I'm going to at least try to do something with the wooden bench seats this year. Probably leave them as is, cracks and all but throw a couple of new coats of varnish on them.

If anyone else wants to see it in person, let me know - I'm always looking for fishing buddies who can introduce me to different lakes (dad just likes to stick with Fish and Spring down in Prior Lake)

Here's a couple pictures of my first boat: 2000 Crestliner Fishhawk 1750 w/90 hp Merc 2 stroke. Purchased May of 2007.

Truck and Boat:

Proud of the new Boat:

Me fighting a 52" sturgeon at the Sturgeon Excursion 2008 (My dad standing ready with the net):

My dad landing a nice sturgeon (Extreme net man not included):

This has been without a doubt one of the best purchases of my life. I have spent countless relaxing hours on the water over the past 2 summers with friends, family, and my wife and dog.

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

Yep. The 1750 is a great boat.

[vikingmeatwad]

Vikingmeatwad,

Is that a 1993 Alumacraft Competitor? Looks just like my mother-in-law's boat!

Yep, '93 Classic Deluxe. Not sure if its the same as the Competitor but I like the boat until I upgrade this or next year. Gotta keep saving :-)

[solbes]

Nice Fishhawk. I fish out of a 16 footer with same colors quite often. Like it a lot!

[fishhawk1750]

Here is our new boat.

Dang! Who wouldn't be excited? Now your name no longer matches your boat

Enjoy!
