    Who all has one and still in service? I have a 1976 LoweLine supreme v 16′ that my dad had when I was a kid. He sold it back in the mid 90s and I was able to buy it back. I love that boat and am in the process of restoring it. Something about a tackle box on the floor and a chain stringer of walleye over the side of the boat. Let’s see some pictures of the old classics!

    1973 14′ Lund painted camo w/5hp Sea King. The motor is so old it does not have the water stream indicator (but it runs great).

    Man these old red lunds! My dad had a Mr. Pike circa 1970’s that was my grandpa’s before that. I really wish I knew the hull ID or could somehow track it down and buy it back now that I’m financially capable. My fondest memories of fishing with my dad and uncles and cousins are in that boat. Had a 60hp Johnson on it I believe with a single console

    just picked up a 1965 Crestliner Sportsman – 12′ row boat. No motor right now, just an electric tiller. Using at the new house, on North Bass Lake – no gas engines

    1979 16ft Starcraft. Needs work but its a nice boat to fish out of. I like the high sides of the hull and the wide gunwale

    1973 14′ Lund painted camo w/5hp Sea King. The motor is so old it does not have the water stream indicator (but it runs great).

    But a bear to start cold isn’t it, my dad still has a 70 something 7.5 hp sea king, total pain in the butt to start the first time, but great after that. They were air cooled (why no indicator stream). No reverse either, just pivoted it 180 degrees and reached over the top to grab the handle. Was on a mid 1970’s alumacraft F14 until he finally bought a new 15 Merc for it in the late 90’s. Still has the boat, he uses it on small lakes.
