Favorite Boat Photo

[Ryan]

I remember my first boat, the little skeeter I'd rag on my brother if he was docking a little to hard and he would just laugh and say it gives it character and I'd reply no that's depreciation.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to keep things nice. My Malibu has over 800 hours now and the dealer always mentions it’s one of the best maintained boats they see. It does help when the time comes to upgrade.

A few years back I bought an aluminum cradle that the boat sits on when it’s beached. I use that when we stay at a lake camping for a weekend. But it’s too much to bring for day trips to Powell.

Anyway, back to photos.

Do you have some pics of the cradle? I’d love to see how it works.

I've tried different things in the past like carpet, rubber truck bed mat but as you mentioned a bit cumbersome for a short trip. I definitely can see if you were houseboating and beaching for multiple days.

I think there's a thread on beaching somewhere. I use an anti-fatigue mat. Works pretty well and rolls up to fit under a seat or other compartment.

I use a motorcycle tire to beach my boat on, the downside is the tire is filled with sand when removed. Sq

My trusty Lund. Works good, lasts long time!

I thought I was the only Sea Hunt on the lake but it appears there is another one out there. I also think all houseboats are ugly but they get the job done. HB is solo owned and paid for so I thought that would count. Can I have two favorite boats?

Ah, a nice break from fishing. Tubing on the trolling motor in Cathedral on a “busy” mid October day.

I'll go with our trusty Skipperliner. Actually just got home from a maintenance trip. A good way to get Lake fever started for the season.

One of the things that makes me wonder about people when they don’t like to go to the lake and do start of year maintenance!

We had a Skipperliner once, but she sank!

Posted this before. I need a new pic but love this one. June 2022 near Dangling Rope headed for RB. Last pic was taken in Padre Bay on our way back to APM.
