This is a pic of my boat. It's not a recent purchase, and I've done many updates over the time that I've owned it. I've used this site as a resource at various times in the past, and often thought that I should post pics. Finally, after a few recent upgrades here it is.
I purchased this boat in 2004 from an 84 year old WWII vet who purchased it new in 1991 and kept it in the garage. The trailer and wheels were rusty. The rainbow stickers on the sides were peeling in a few places. The aluminum was faded. But everything on the interior was pristine. The whole package was originally sold together...Sea Nymph boat, Yacht Club trailer, and 9.9 Johnson motor.
This is a Sea Nymph FM141. It's the "Fishing Machine" version of a Sea Nymph 14R. What that means is that it has a flat carpeted floor inside, shelves along either side, and pedestal bases/boxes front and rear. It's a typical crappie boat.
This pic is from 2005...a year after I purchased it. I don't know why I never thought to take pics at the time of the interior...I wish I had because you just can't imagine how clean it was. The 9.9 motor is off as we were fishing in a trolling only lake. And we fished quite a bit in that first winter, which did not help for the rust on the trailer and wheels. What you can't see are the casting decks that we made early on so we could stand up and fish. (I will add more posts with pics in a couple stages of upgrades I've done over the last 13 years...not a whole lot of process pics, but I love the end result and the changes I've made to make this a true fishing platform).
