I'll play the Toon game. My 197? Riviera Cruiser nicknamed the "Riviera Boozer". Bought it a day before our wedding to use as a dock for pontoon shuttles to drop off guests at an open lot at the end of the lake.
Towed it down the PO's driveway with a flat and the tire rolled off at the bottom of the hill. We inched our way down the road to my house and swapped it onto PicturePat's trailer. It's survived staying in the water for a few winters now and will someday get a new deck, some Correct Craft inspired parts and reunited with it's Mariner outboard. (My dreams of retrofitting a 302 and Velvet Driver are probably a little to far fetched for this little toon) PicturePat dreaming of ripping down the lake a 12mph All set to become a dock....for the next 3 years |

I've seen those fast, high powered pontoons and always expect them to catch a pontoon in a turn and roll over or something. Looks like an unnatural act to run them that fast. |

1967 MirroCraft 12' with Evinrude 6 (not sure of year, maybe early '80's?). I realize the pics don't show much of the boat, but more fun to see the kids anyway. This old rowboat and the aluminum canoe have survived 47 years of use and abuse, and are still going strong!

That Tomahawk is a cool boat! Love the flared gunwales. Is the transom holding up OK? That a 40 HP on it?

Transom is good. they had a unique transom in that the wood didn't go all the way down so less likely to have water find a way in. The motor is a 63 Merc 650. It was rated for 65hp so that is what I found for it. |

Polaris Msx140 and Polaris Virage TX. MSX is mom and dads and the virage is mine.
Virage has: Redtop Carbs, Hot Seat Billet Head, Ported cylinders, Removed Planet System, Beach House Sponsons... It was tripple pipped but I got an offer on them and the MSD Ignition I couldn't refuse so it went back to single piped. Still fast but a little more subtle. They've only been used about 4-5 hours a season for the last few years. I'd really like to sell them both and get another UTV but my mom and sister are still attached for some odd reason. 02 Wellcraft I/O... 108 Hours and dang near perfect shape with original interior. For sale in the spring once the Pro Air is ready to go. |

Toons are boats? I'll go there. It's the most fun you can have with a few sheets of plywood and an engine.
I have posted the "Alumitoon" before. It's fun to drive around the lake waving at other boaters while drinking ice water from this bottle. |

Not true Tim I wouldn't own any Supra newer than 95. I like the George Fowler built boats best. |

it was purchased this June from the brother of the owner of American Skier..Dan Tanis. My brother & I picked it up at the Ohio-Indiana border and Bill hauled it to Norris for me. Nice bro..huh? Waxed it & put it in the water for us when Patti & I arrived for vacation.
There is a thread on here with more pictures but I will be darned if I can remember what it was... Looks just like Eddie's..same year..'86...but his is an Advance & mine is a Volante. Hardin built 350 Chevy. Have been really enjoying it. john |

When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded.

Very cool Glastron FireFlite!
I chased this 1958 FireFlite for at least 2 years only to have the owners have it be hauled to the dump. This was out first classic boat that I found in a field in Albany Township, Maine. It is a 1962 Custom Craft Manter Ray. We sold it and moved on to our 66 Mustang. It's a 14' high performance boat in the day rated for an 85 hp Merc. Original brochure said it seated 6 comfortably! |
