Who Has Boats ?

if so, what kind ? I have a 19 ft Hallett, I'll post pics tomorrow. Do any of you guys post under www.hotboat.net forums ? lots of good knowledge on there if you have questions about any boat topic. Oh, and on my boat I have a BBF 460 , decked block, weiand intake, isky A cut jet boat cam, holley 780 4bbl vac secondary carb, high volume oil pump, dooley 10 qt oil pan, rex marine windage tray, double valve springs, motorsport timing chain/gear set and everything is run through Holman Moody logs. I have rex marine guages, over 1000 watts of sony amps, full interior neons with neons in the sub box which is in the bulkhead. Its a great family boat, covered engine, through transom exhaust and a swim step. I go to castaic and havasu quite often.

I have a 19 footer too. It's a 1987 SeaRay Seville Cuddy.
I don't what most of that stuff is you listed on your boat, sorry.
My boat has a 4.3L V6 rated at 175hp.
It has a cuddy that no one has been in for three years because of a big argument about who had to clean out the porta-potty.
It has six seats that has some fish blood and I think fish guts on them. It has carpet with little fish hooks embedded in it so you have to wear your shoes. It has a depth finder with an alarm that sounds about 3 seconds after you run aground. It has a VHF radio with which I lie to the other fisherman about what's going on.
"Landing some big ones by the bridge! Wohoo!"
or "Ain't no keepers over this away..."
Got a flaregun that I only use to threaten others on the boat with when they try to mutiny just because of a little storm or a little hole in the boat or some other little thing.
Got a black Pirate flag to use when appropiate.
Have a large sign rolled up under the seat that we end up breakin out on every trip.

we are out of beer!

I checked my 4.3L once using my GPS.
The bay was like glass and there was no wind.
I only had one buddy with me and we got her up to 44mph and that's all she'd do.
I don't like to run her wide open all the time, need to hold back a little so I have something left when avoiding the Coast Guard.

Totally re-stored 1973 17' Boston Whaler Montauk (lotsa Teak).

I was so **** about the restoration, I even got another Coast Guard Capacities plate

Looks like the boat just left the showroom floor.

I has boats!

I have a 1986 ProCraft with a Johnson 70 on it. Not much, but I win bass tournaments with it, so I guess it works. I have an early 90s Lowe 31' deckboat with twin Johnson 150s, too, but it hasn't been out the last two years.
