Nice ride!!

I am stuck in a 1989 Stratos 201 pro with a 200 Johnson.

I have one kid in EIU and one at the U of I in Champaign......

One of these days though!!! I will get to upgrade!!!!

Nice boat!

You are way a head of me. Mine is an old, fully rebuilt by me, basstracker with a 28 hp Johnson.

It has been a great boat and has been all over the country fishing with me. Great to trailer and cheap to run. But it is not pretty at all :)

I think my electronics are worth more than the boat.

I will admit I dream about a new boat all the time....

thanks guys, but nothing wrong with ya'lls boats at all. i was just blessed enough to get a deal on that one. i had a 1979 16ft procraft with a merc 80 horse that i bought for $400 and used it for years. loved that thing. so i feel lucky i got one like this one. i just hope it will catch fish like my old ones did! ;)

Sweet boat man. I will have to work on the fish slime in the back if you want to for on the front.. :D

I will find some pictures on mine at home tonight.

Old duck/fishing boat, we added a deck to the front for the bow mount trolling motor and bass fishing seat, overall pretty comfortable and I don't have to worry about scratches, etc. That is the "glass half full" view.

If you see the Sprint on the water stop and give me a shout. I have had it since new and of the very few Sprint owners I met around here never seen another with my color scheme.

Love the fishing snowman! I will definitely recognize that if I see it on the water.

Astro 201FS with a 200 Merc. With three kids and a wife that all like to fish a bass boat doesn't work out too well. Never could get comfortable running down the lake with little kids perched on the front deck like hood ornaments.
