Fish-Hawk.Net

Started this thread to showcase some of our rides, a local tournament guy had his boat stolen a few weeks ago, right out of his front yard (18 foot Triton) and something tell's me if more people were aware of who's who.. Maybe someone would have noticed the boat and reported it..

Whether its a Kayak, Canoe, a Bass boat or a Aluminum rig. Feel free to post your ride!

My Boat is a 1987 Cajun Bass boat.
Bought this boat from a fellow fish-hawk member, It has come a long way
Before:



Now:




I run a 175 Fast Strike with a 24P Trophy, I am still fine tuning this setup 59MPH @ 5500 RPM is the most I've gotten out of it so far.
She's not new but it's paid for and I built it myself, proud of it!

When you see me post on the forum about an Open seat, this is what we'll be fishing in.
Cheers

Here is my ride..super sexy and streamlined for top speeds of 23mph...oh and it floats.






Now I do have a 76lb thrust Minnkota trolling motor on the front now and also a Humminbird 7"DS scan topo/gps/plotcharter system and an anchor!! Yes an anchor!!

If Im flying down the lake and you see me feel free to swim up to me and say hi cause Im sure you can swim faster than this thing goes but it's not all about speed right it about these.




or this!!








I feel so little now

Cheers

She's sleek, she's somewhat fast and she sure is ppurrddy! But she won't catch you fish.

Ill be posting mine next week after I get it re waxed and polished so it looks all pretty.

Shawn,

I never realized how much work and how much better your boat looks now from when you got it. Great job for sure!

This is my boat. A 2006 Bass Tracker PT 190TX. It isn't the prettiest or fastest machine out there, but it is mine and it gets me from point a to point b at a whopping 38mph. Not bad considering it only has a 75 on the back of her. A few upgrades have taken place since I got her in 2010 and the only thing I would change now is an upgrade to a 135 Opti to see how much difference an extra 65 ponies would make.

Come on guys don't be jealous here.... Blood, Sweat and Tears in this one.





Same deal please feel free to stop and say hi if you see her on the water.

Tight Lines!

I helped Princecraft design the Pro198 about 12 years ago. This one, my 5th, has about 200 man-hours of extra rigging and customization to make her mine. She is also the last one made, I sure am gonna miss her!!! Back to the drawing board for next year.

If you did as better job on the design maybe it would have lasted more than 12 years before they had to design a new one

One more derogatory remark like this and I'll have you suspended from the Board.
