The thing that got me , was the guy with the pink hats' dad , sitting on the arm rest of the seat driving 100 mph , not very safe , figure if you got the money to buy a boat like that and your a shorty, you could drop a few more bucks on some seat work to get you up and looking over the dashboard 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to get pulls to the boat launch. But I was captain after it was in the water. The boat was a 16 foot Glasspar with a 45 Chrysler. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to get pulls to the boat launch. But I was captain after it was in the water. The boat was a 16 foot Glasspar with a 45 Chrysler. Our first was a 14' SeaKing with lap sides and mahogany front deck and trim. The 35 West Bend was a precursor to the Chrysler. The rig was involved in a bard fire and knowing my Dad, he didn't give much for it Within a few months we had the bubbled paint and varnish stripped and all spiffed up real nice. The 35 puked the lower unit the first year and Dad found a 28 hp Elgin at Sears on sale for $199.99 in 1963. I was so proud to be in that old boat. We even learned to waterski behind it. I was about 6 when he brought that old bubbled boat home and my brother one yr older and I did most of the work while Dad worked. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted November 22, 2022 I have so many fond memories about fishing , my Grandfather and Great Grandfather were Croatian / Slavonian oyster fisherman , all 13 of my Grandfather's brother and sisters were born at the camp on the water , miles from Buras ,Louisiana , that marsh is 95 % gone today , but that camp still stands , my Great Grandfather came to Buras in 1898 and was one of the first fishermen to get motor power in Buras , at first he fished oysters by sail and by hand tongs , my Grandfather had a big Biloxi Luger , but his fishing boat was a wooden boat with 2 wet wells , one for live bait and the other for storing fish live till getting back to the dock , it was powered by a 33 HP , and it was huge by today's standards , you cranked this outboard, by spinning a knob on top and it would kick back and I can still hear him in my mind today , swearing in Slavonian , when it kicked back and hurt his arm , he fished speckled trout like tuna , with a 16 foot Calcutta cane pole and live shrimp , pulled the fish in and let it hit him in the chest while wearing the bottoms of a rain suit , he would make the fish fall right into the live well , as he would file the barb down on the hook , he use to like his bottom on Musk'ca'tell ( spell check that one ) in his back pocket in the winter , use to fish Quarantine Bay by Anderson Point , got there thru Ostrica Locks by Anderson Point 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are pulleys on them gizmos >>> if 'ins I had to guess that boat exceeds 1 million , before inflation hit ---- I know boats that size have a 800- 1,000 gallon fuel tank , doing the poker run on $4 a gallon fuel and getting about 2 gallons per mile , is out my league --- love them props Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeepwm69 7,611 Posted December 2, 2022 Those boats are a big naw from me. I don't want to go over about 45 on the water, and even that's pushing it. This moran is from Memphis...... I'll link to the good version with commentary. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
