That thing it cool. Prob has ballast tanks and sets the perfect wake?

What is up there for tower speakers? Hopefully Wetsounds Rev's or I would settle for JL.

 

[Blackfoot Tucker]

Yup, similarly addicted:

 

[Snowy Rivers]

Oh yessssss.

Boats are highly addictive...as is fishing, skiing .......

24ft boat with 4000lb of ballast and yes it sets the perfect wave for surfing and wakeboarding, surf gates help alot . It has the full Exile Audio package. Tincup is paying to put a whole wetsounds system in the freighter that should be interesting.Maybe set off some avalanches lol

here is a pic of the rocky mountain meet and greet coming up

My neighbor few houses up is known for restoring the wood portions of early Boston Whalers.

Where unsinkable glass meets wood! Let me know if anybody need restoration parts !

The middle photo I posted is a 1976 15' Sport. That was the first year that model was available, and the only year that it came with a maximum horsepower rating of 75. All other years the max was 70. I drove to Texas to buy it from the original owners.

My snowcat buddy and I collaborated and made a new interior for it using the original interior pieces as patterns.

The third photo is a 13' Sport that I had just bought and was doing minor gel coat repair and polishing to. We also made a new interior for it, but we used the side console pattern from the 15' Sport because it's wider and positions the steering wheel closer to the center of the boat.

Here's a photo of the 15 after I got it home. That's the original 1976 Evinrude 70 on it. (I sold that and installed a used 1988 Johnson 70 engine with power trim and tilt.)

Summer is coming... must be Boat time on the Forums

Our 1964 17’ TollyCraft Ford Y Block 312 built in Kelso, Wa. Just too many ChrisCrafts in McCall. It now shares the shop with the Tuckers. And the vehicle behind it?

 

[Backyardski]

As long as we are on the wooden boat chapter I'll add a picture of my 1966 century resorter 15'. Bought it in 2003 and reframed the entire bottom from the chines down, was making good progress until I had four kids, she's been collecting dust since. One of these days.....

[Pontoon Princess]

it is great that we have expanded the view of H2O, solid, liquid and gas,

here is a Russell steam tractor

 

[vintagebike]

And the "When Pigs Fly" hot air balloon. April Fools day tomorrow. Let's be careful out there.

Think today was the season ender. Beautiful day Mt Washington. 21 runs today 20 miles!


The last picture of you look in the distance is Mt Mansfield VT. 130 miles or so away. They say on a real clear day you can see White Face in NY!

Time to start summerizing the winter toys and bring out the spring ones.

 

[Pontoon Princess]

I do believe that, here on the snow cat forums, we should have a liquid snow section, given there are sooooooo boat owners!

So who says you don't do snow AND boats at the same time?

 

[Track Addict]

Maybe I will start the trend in the off season thread. Motorcycles, 2, 3, 4 wheels, boats, fishing etc.

Maybe it will spice things up?

[Pontoon Princess]

that there tucker hunting burb appears to be green, or is that a old black and white photo that you had colorized?

OR you have more than 1 of those famed tucker burbs

 

[sno-drifter]

Don't ask, don't tell.

 

[Snowy Rivers]

Thanks for sharing the fabulous pix.

I would definitely say that snow season is done..

It won't be long out here in the west that we put the snow toys to bed for the sojourn of spring/summer

 

[Track Addict]

Please don’t put me away....

Off season orange in J Tucker’s shop for a tune up.

 

[Track Addict]

Orange you glad it’s Bike Week in New Hampshire?

250 mile tour yielded two Tuckers grazing on their summer pastures.

One steel track one terra.

My wife reminds me that "The person who dies with the most toys is still dead".

The “Knot T” finally hit the big water today. If you have seen wicked tuna tv show that’s the area we fish. One of your stars is in a pic.

Does T stand for Tucker?

Though some may like a little off season action.
