I'm new to this forum and don't actually have a qualifying boat yet. I just layed away a 2004 14-ft MirroCraft model 3654 deep V boat with a 2002 Yamaha 15hp 4-stroke long shaft motor. It will be my first "tin" boat in about 30 years. The first boat I ever owned was a 15-ft Alumacraft canoe that I sold when I got the 17 ft kevlar canoe that I still have now. We've also owned a 19-ft fiberglass sailboat and a 26-ft cruiser, and I still have a 14-ft poly kayak.
The MirroCraft and motor seem to be in near-new condition, and I really like some of the features for such a simple boat. It's got a floor made of 1/2" marine plywood wrapped in vinyl. Instead of a center bench seat, it has a live well on the port side and a small (seat size) storage box starboard. That leaves good walk through space for our two dogs. It also has a bow storage compartment.
I plan to keep it in a slip at Wabasha, MN. That's a small town toward the downstream end of what's called "Pool 4" on the Mississippi. Pool 4 is about a 44-mile stretch of the Big River between Lock & Dams 3 and 4, which includes a major bulge called Lake Pepin. So, I'm going to call the boat "Pool (4) Shark." Any other MirroCraft 3654 owners in the House?
We've had a wicked Winter here in Minnesota, and boat shopping has helped keep my mind on warmer times ahead. I'll try to attach some pictures. Wish me luck
