Getting a new boat soon :D:D

Hello everybody im dr nick j/k lol

After 30 years of life we are saying goodbye to our good ol princecraft 16' with and Omc engine. It is now time for a new boat , for those who live in Canada and own a boat prices arent always what they should be so my family and i are going on a trip aaaaaallll the way to Texas to get ourselves a nice deal.

All this just to ask : What kind of boats do you guys drive or have driven??

And please watch out for hurricane damaged/salvaged boats. I hear there are thousands of them out in the neighborhood and not all sellers are honest.

That's right.. I forgot to answer your question. My brother built a twenty-something-foot boat back in the 80s.. His design included options for a sail as well as some big-*** oars, but we just bolted up the outboard and putted around on the Hudson river.

Aah, those were the days..

Escalade182 will become famous soon enough
My parents have a 21' Sea Pro and I have a 14' Carolina Skiff J-series.

The sea pro is great with the exception of the wiring... but seriously....its a boat. what can you really expect. my dad is stepping WAY up in the 27' range. We're thinking either May-Craft 27 or Sailfish 26. But you have to remember, even with todays technology...somethings gonna break quick...its boating. lol

Buying hurricane boats are the best deals.i bought a classic 1968 37'6" all aluminium striker sportfish that was partly sunk.(engine room was flooded with fresh water) for $1.00.i got both 250hp turbo diesel engines running in 3 days.right now i now have 10k in the boat and its still worth 250k.will be worth alot more after i paint it and finish the inside teak.out of 60 striker models like mine made in holland.all 60 are still floating to this day.how that for a track record?

nice!!

I dont see anything wrong with buying a hurricane boat? as long as all the electronic systems were replaced and the motor flushed its like new...maybe im overlooking something though

You dont need to replace any of the electronics if the electronics wernt powered on at the time of the sinking or them getting wet.it doesnt matter if it was salt or fresh water.just as long as they wernt submerged for over a week.(sea or water creatures tend to grow on internal parts)just soak all the eletronics in fresh water for a few days.then take them out and dip them in a barrel of denatured alcohol till everything is saturated.then take out an let dry.after the electronics has dryed for a few hours.they can be powered up.all my electronics got wet in fresh water.all are still working to this day with no problems.
