Ok thanks for all the help. I feel little bad for creating this thread and not posting picture of my boat until now. It's not much, but it works great...

I'm not gonna post photos of my main boat. It would put all these other scows to shame. Hahaha.
Well.o.k but I don't want to show the whole boat and make anyone jealous.

Actually it's a beat up, leaky ,paint flaking off of it, two different oars, circa 1960's, early 70's 12' tinner and cost over $100,000 .............but it came with a lake lot and a small cabin.
I can row it really fast too!
Oh, and catch fishes from it!

Here's one for the guys that like to run lots of gravel. It was the result of an all night building session before a trip. It ended up working so well I've kept it. I went once without the boat covered in and it took a beating.
Ugly? Yes Redneck? Probably! Effective? Extremely. It has its drawbacks but protects the boat. I'd like to build it out of steel mesh.

I almost have the wife convinced a new boat is a necessity.

My boat. Older picture as it now has a Motorguide Xi5 55lb on the bow, HDS 7 Gen 2 on the dash and a few more scrapes and scratches on the bottom. Like to upgrade the motor to a 75 hp Merc 4 stroke but for now I get by with the 50 HP Merc.
Also have a mesh rock guard mounted on the trailer now to protect the bow from rocks.

Here is my 16' Lynx made by Outlaw Marine. It has a new 175 Mercury sport jet in it, bullet proof.The toughest, shallowest water running boat on the river. There's a reason the RCMP ,F&W and the Calgary Fire Department run them.
This past weekend on the Oldman River. 4 of us on the boat hit a rounded over rock sticking out of the water a few inches. We caught some air going over it a 35 MPH. After getting it on the trailer, you couldn't see any sign of hitting a rock.

Wow Dago the picture of your boat sure puts things into perspective regarding High River, no one would wants to use there boat by walking out your front door unless you have lake front property. Nice boat though and I am sure your neighbours appreciated a dry ride too.

This is a beautiful boat - exactly what I would buy for the coast and/or for living on big lake. NICE.

Thanks EZM, Its a 2525 pilot house
No campsite required. lol.
All my boats have been welded aluminum, once you get the aluminum bug it's hard to go to fiberglass. The last 2 welded boats I owned I used for about 10 years and sold them for almost as much as I paid.
