[QUOTE="SLE, post: 347969, member: 3889"] My first boat that was truly mine was a 2000 Yarcraft Storm SC powered by a 2006 225 Optimax. Still, probably one of the best pure fishing layouts of all the boats I've owned. With that said, I grew up on the water, the first one I remember our family having was an old 15 or so foot closed bow lund with a 25 sea horse, then a 18ft mr pike, then to a 16 ft sylvan, and finally a 18ft glass lund from the early 80s. during my college years, I ended up using my father-in-laws 16ft smoker craft. The smokercraft was out in the trees and hadn't been used in several years when I was dating my now wife. My dad was using his one weekend when I wanted to go fishing and so we resurrected the smoker craft at that time as a broke college kid. Got out of college, got married, and bought our first house all within about a year. Borrowed the boat from my father-in-law one weekend and when I came to bring to back after the weekend, he told me to go ahead and keep it at my house, he knows where to come get it if he wants it, lol. So, although I didn't buy it, and it was never titled in my name, that ol' smoker-craft was probably what I would actually consider my first boat. [/QUOTE]
