Post a Pic of your boat!

[johegman]

First time posting. You guys have am awesome forum! The rules are great, keeps it super positive.
I just bought my first boat. 1976 crestliner voyager 18ft with a freshly tuned 1976 merc 50 2 stroke. I picked it up for $900. Please tell my wife I got a steal.

I've gotten lots of ideas from the forum and may be posting it as a project soon. Thanks for all the great info on here.

johegman - Welcome Aboard !!

yes - YOU GOT AN AWESOME SCORE !!!

a rig like that in my area would run 1500-$1800 !!

read the threads about floors and decks before you start changing stuff around.
a V-Hull is not as forgiving in stability as it is in a flat bottom Jon.
the lower the floor - the better your center of gravity will be.

Thanks Jonny!
I was just going to post about that. I found this original picture for this boat I'll post. It looks like the deluxe model had a floor in it. Does that mean it's the same hull with just different configurations? My legs don't even come close to fitting behind the console as is.(I'm 6'2") I like the bottom boat in the picture configuration but do a bench in the back and a small platform in the front.
I dream of a center console but that would be down the road. I've researched on here and it looks line it takes quite a bit too do bc of the controls.

This is a picture of my first metal boat build. Built from galvanized steel and welded. I hope to launch it over the weekend.

I fixed it not a very good photo I only have a video of it, once I get home I'll get some better photos, it's a 16' Naden, fairly old one I have no idea the year or the model.

Here is my new boat! I have had it for about 2 months and I am pretty happy with it. I got the hull from Custombilt boats, had the center battery box made by Fishon Fab. It's electric only with an 80 Ipilot Terrova on the front and 55 Prowler on the back. I have 3 (Group 27) AGM batteries for the trolling motors and 1 (Group 24) for electronics and two on-board battery chargers. Since this picture, I have put a lowrance elite Ti9 on it.

Got some more photos of my boat really curious on the year , it's an old naden with the Ohio transom caps

1967 stsrcraft seafarer restoration. Last registration was 1981. Having a lot of fun with it. Have a 18 hp im restoring to go on it. This is what it looked like when I got it from my neighbors yard last year. It was upside down all those years so the original mahogony seats were able to be refinished and not rotted.
