Only ever bought 1 boat on the cheap - you know what they say about cheap? You get what you pay for. So while I have always had the one boat, the list of what I have done to her seems never ending..... But I listen to my better half who manages my finances really well. If I had my way I would have spent tripple what I have, and in a huge amount of debt.... But then again, had I have bought a good boat from the start, I'd be in the same position financially.... Do the maths.

Bought 15 years ago for 3K with 80hp blueband Merc - bang, no more motor, salt water does not combust very well in the Cylinders I am told. Buggar!
Replace with a 2nd hand 75HP Yammy for 2.5K Bang.... Same thing after a few years. The guys servicing seemed to think the Merc was more of a problem than the Yammy, and I was in a false sense of security!! How wrong was I? When putting the new Jonno 70HP on (reco for 5K), they said the transom was mushy. New floor and transom @3K

Over 15 years I guess I shouldn't see the expense when I consider all the fun I have had with her. Can't bare the thought of selling it now, we've been through too much!! I'm now up for a new trailer or a serious amount of work on the old one. Anyone got a cheap trailer for a 15ft Glass?

Brooker CT10 Johno 6hp when I was ten.
12' Sea Alwith 9.5hp Johno.
12" Dehaviland with 25hp Suzy... used to two my mate on a single ski behind that one. That was a fast boat for a 15year old kid with no licence.

25' Bertram Sports open runabout with a new Volvo 280hp

#1 3.8m Stacer.

I still have this boat and its since been nicknamed "dog dish" on account of the fact that most dog dishes are tin!

Its been a gr8 boat and caught me some fantastic fish, from garfish, tommies and whiting to snapper to 13kg.

Its now mainly used as a bream boat for the local creeks and is destined for a bit of a make over in the future with a floor and bow mount electric to fitted.

#2, 5m Seaquest Eclipse custom

Saved long and hard and did plenty of reasearch on this one. Love this boat, (with the exception of the paint job) This rig has opened up a few frontiers for me with me now being able to go to places faster and much further!

Started with a stacer 525 bowrider with a merc 90 two stroke, kept for 2 years.
Next was an allison vision 21 with a 200 evinrude di two stroke, very fast boat, over 105kmh on the gps, kept for two years.
Currently own a caribbean 26 flybridge sportsfisher with twin 220 efi mercruisers, plan on keeping this for two years and getting one last boat, frobably a black watch 32 with diesels, or something very similar

Two boats:-

1) 195 Allison w/- 140 Yammie
