Guess I'll check again in a couple of days...

(I know the picture is old but it's a winter ritual)

The little Sportcraft is about 8' long, has a 9.9 Merc on back. Year is around 1980.
Just a fun little marina boat, get 4-5 offers to buy it everytime we ride through... oh and did I mention it's fun to wash. When I was a kid there was a kiddieland nearby (kid rides) and they had the little boats that went in circles. This one always reminds me of those kiddie ride boats.

Your little boat is too cute. Great post to cheer me up- esp. since it is 20 degrees here this am.

Wha Wha Wha Roy! Living in Florida and crying about the winter temps. Not much sympathy here.

Wow! 20 degrees in Florida... that's just not right. Think Florida temps are getting cooler. (global warming???) We went clear to Key West a couple of Januarys ago and still had to wear jackets... we were very dissapointed.

Hey SeaDog... how ya doin? Winter here is going good and fairly fast. I just keep telling myself to relax and enjoy doing nothing cause when the boat season starts there's lots of work coming

About the same Gary - very little snow and very mild to moderate temps for winter - no complaint really. I have to get work done on the bottom that will cost about $8k as soon as the temps reach the 50's so hoping I can still get in the water by May.

Love that little SportCraft.

gruhs,

Were did you find that boat?

WillyTrojan...

One of our bad habits is looking at boats on Ebay... and that's where we found it.
Fortunately it was only about a 2 hr drive since the trailer was a piece of crap, we made it home but shortly thereafter pieces started falling of when we pulled it down the road

We replaced the little green trailer that you see in the picture and now feel comfortable pulling it back and forth to the marina.
