[Dbl]

Very, very, very close! Rainy Lake, the American side.

[evinrude19]

i tried throwing new paint on last year but she pealed of pretty good on the bottom so i am going to try again once it starts to warm up some outside cant wait to unleash that 9.9 evinrude lol i love that boat though i have gone through some much in it for the 3 years i have had it. big fish magnet right there

[MinnesotaMongo]

My Tourny Pro - I've had it a year and really, REALLY enjoy it. A pleasure to fish from.

[leech~~]

boiler, very nicely done! The rope lights are a great idea! Did you double check all these old rivets before you buttoned it all back up? So what are you going to do with that little Crestliner hiding on the side of the garage?

[caseymcq]

Two of my boats.

My big boat.

and my duck boat that doubles as my smaller lake boat.

[Burnham]

Gunna use it as a duck boat in a couple years.

evin19, Where and what kind of paint did you buy for it? On an old boat with a lot of old layers of paint, you have got to strip her down to bare metal, and then go from there. Good marine primer and then marine top layer! Put a stripe on the top, and she'll look great! I know it can cut in to the old minnow money a bit!

[Dbl]

Dbl what size is your prov it looks like a newer verson of mine and mine is a 1775.

1999 1775 Pro V.

[evinrude19]

yah i know but it will look nice and worth the money. it needs to warm up some! I already have the all the paint and stuff

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

Dbl, was this taken at Voyageurs National Park? Looks like one of the campsites there.

Very nice backdrop!

[Jordyn Kaufer]

Dbl,

I've gotta say, that is a really nice picture!!

[leech~~]

evin19, take your time, and do a good job. It shouldn't peel in one year if you get it right! Sorry for sounding like your Dad! Good luck with the project!

[CrowRiverRat83]

Both very cool boats Burnham, I'm in the market for a setup like your rowboat.

[evinrude19]

yah i kinda rushed last years one because i wanted to fish! lol but i definitely going to do it right this year.

[Burnham]

Rowboat?! just kiddin ...thank you, yea i really like the set up, only have 2 5.5 horse motors though and i want to upgrade to a 10 hp sometime this year...

oh and yea i was lookin at boat motors on cra!gslist the other day and came across many boats similar to mine in the $200-750 price range

[LMITOUT]

Looks like a lot of boats that are ready for some open water. Nice rigs boys.

Burnham, I too have been lookin on CL lately but I'm trying to find just a boat and trailer mostly. I already have a super reliable 6hp Johnny to throw on it. I shouldnt have any trouble finding one before the fishing starts to heat up though. Its hard to find a setup with a really nice trailer like you have.

[Burnham]

yea i know what ya mean. and those johnnys are reliable arent they! both of mine are right around 50 years old and work fine. yea i got the trailer from northern tool and equipment a couple years ago for $350. it cost a penny but was worth it

[CrowRiverRat83]

I think thats the route I might go with the trailer. The 6hp I have is a 1972 model and runs like the day it was made, my dad bought it brand new back then. Thanks for your input.

[Burnham]

No problem , thats what the sites for!

[Bandit]

Far from new, but still does the job.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Nice I dig the boat. I want to find an older 80's Lund like my dads old boat from our cabin when I was a little kid.

[goose89]

Fishing Novice. I noticed your "mooring" system. I'm curious, is that something you made or purchased. I've been tossing around the idea of "mooring whips" / used boat lift. That system you have there seems like it would work for me. Anyone else seen / used a system like that?? (1st page, 7th post, NICE red Lund /150 Merc). Thanks in advance.

My Boat

[Eric Wettschreck]

boiler, very nicely done! The rope lights are a great idea! Did you double check all these old rivets before you buttoned it all back up? So what are you going to do with that little Crestliner hiding on the side of the garage?

I love the rope lights. I'm glad I thought of it. I normally leave them off, but when I need to tie a knot, see what I'm doing, light up so another boat can see me, they really do the trick.

Checked and replaced a couple of rivets.

The Crestliner hiding beside my man fort has gone down the road. Parting was sweet sorrow, but I was gathering a small fleet of boats and one of them had to go.

[Fishing_Novice]

I'm not sure, that was at a friends cabin. It works great, I was really surprised how well it would keep the boat away from the dock. The large spring in the front and the one in the back really absorb the waves well. I'm not sure if they made it or purchased it but I think it would be easy to make yourself. I think it's a good setup if you only keep your boat in the water a few days at a time.

Thanks,

[Fishing_Novice]

Thanks Tyler, Great boat to fish out of plus a great family boat. My kids have a blast getting pulled around the lake and my wife likes to sloooooooowly drive around to look at things.

[Deitz Dittrich]

my baby

[Chris Haley]

Alright, here she is. 620T with 150 horses of pure evinrude power with a handle. Trolling motors are 36V minn Kotas with the Terrova on the bow being 101lbs auto pilot and co pilot with universal sonar.
