The new Fishin Machine

[kingblazer84]

Just got a new to me boat last weekend 1975 hourston glascraft marlin 17 1/2ft, came with dual scotty riggers, thunderbolt 850 merc and 2000 merc 5hp kicker, humminbird 561 finder, new vhf and camper back top, storage top and the bimini top with side windows. Its a nice Deep V hull design super stable in the water and lots of room to walk back and forth also on a nice roller road runner trailer, cant wait to hit the salt chuck and slay some springs and coho this year!

I also enjoy fishing Okanagan Lake and Mabel lake alot so this boat will get its fair share of use, just thought I would share my new toy.

cheers

Nice older boat. Always liked the look of those lapstrake hulls. Classic

Classic for sure and in freshwater it'll last almost forever.

Nice older boat, they cut the water well, they also came with a optional hard top that a friends dad used to use from time to time. Looks like a gem.

Have fun with her.
