oldest boat
Who out there has any vintage, old or classic boats? Here's mine (not nesaseraly a clasic, but old) after a a quick repaint.
77' hydrasport 74 johnson 85'hp. Had it for about 7 years, just needed a few things over the years, batts, waterpump etc. runs awsome. About 40 mph on gps. Plenty to pull the tubes.It's almost as old as my wife. Don't know if I want a newer one,(boat, not wife) and worry bout oops dropped my soda, dog scratching it up, beaching it, etc. Come to think of it, those things apply to the wife to.
What you guys runnin?

RE: oldest boat
We had the exact same motor on our 16' Silverline tri-hull. We sold it many years ago. Just funny to see that old OB again. Gotta love the white/gold/army green colors goin on. It sure was reliable for being nearly 30 years old. How's yours? Looks to be in good shape.
