Let's see your flotilla😀

[Freestone]

I don't have photos of everything that floats, and a picture of the storage mess that is my garage/shop would be too embarrassing. The inventory goes something like this:
1. Easy Rider canoe;
2. Eddyline Kayak;
3. 16' Lund equipped with jet drive outboard;
4. 10' wooden pram (build photos featured on WFF 2017);
5. Achilles LT2 inflatable;
6. Watermaster Kodiak;
7. Alpacka packraft x 2;
8. Alpacka open floor packraft;
9. Custom 32 oz. float tube;
10. Curtis inflatable raft. I think that's all of 'em.

Dibs on #8 if you ever get rid of it! Thanks to @BDD ’s generosity, I have the teal blue one you used to own. I took it down the Gates of Lodore this fall and ran everything but the Class IV with it. I absolutely loved it! And yes, there was a lot of bailing, lol.

Here it is parked next to the big boats:

freakin' love my old school Outcast Commander....

plus my old school Fish Cat....surprised this thing still floats...

 

[longputt]

I'm afraid to take pictures or write a list...what if my wife saw how many we have...of course we "need" them all.

 

[clarkman]

I also have an NRS Pike that I'll take my kiddo out in, but no pics....

Love your style Freestone. Float what makes you happy!

“Let's see your flotilla” @Billy​

Oh, hell no! That’s really personal. I’d rather show everyone a pic of my lingerie drawer and that ain’t happening either, LOL! I think I only added four boats last year but hey, two were gifts so they don’t count, right?

Edit: Oops, 5 boats last year…

 

[Stonedfish]

I sold my Aire 143D raft as I got out of steelhead fishing.
Sold both of my Outcast pontoons.
Now down to a super fat cat, Outcast commander and my little 8’ raft.
I bought that little raft in 1989 and it’s still going strong. Add a thin plywood floor so I can stand up when casting while fishing longer chironomid leaders. One of the best fishing investments I’ve made.
The SFC doesn’t get much use now as I really like the commander.

Here are two of them. Will take a photo of the others when I get home, but won’t bother with my wife’s Mastercraft ski boat. Yes, we have a boat problem…

Here’s the rest of them and the Boat House storage shed. The Klamath needs to be cleaned. It doubles as a duck taxi during the fall, hence the dinged up prop. I need to put the new prop on.

Two of many.....my pram I built 17 years ago for $377 and my favorite fishing platform, 6’ Cutthroat Cat from Sos 29 years ago!

 

[Landlocked]

@Stonefish for the couple year old clack pic with that horrid sticker on the stern. Full disclaimer, sold the Bristol Bay boat in ‘05 after 15 years. Have a couple watermasters to add to the quiver, but don’t use them much anymore and don’t have pics of them. Damn boats are a sickness…

Easter egg that Dibs is on his way to pnwff?

That little RMR is sure loaded to the hilt. I don't see the kitchen sink but it must be in there somewhere.
How did it fare out?

 

[Buzzy]

Three fly rods......

The Shoal Man, loaded for BC

Beda in her glory days, wish I still had the Bronco (8')

When I got this boat, it sat on a rusted steel homebuilt pipe trailer. Three times welds on the trailer broke so I bought this EZ Loader trailer as a kit (three boxes).

Looking for carp



Not my boat but I was on her when this picture was taken (USS Hector, AR7).

The guy that owns the little 10.5’ RMR is a very very experienced boater, as in a current professional (of many years), who has made lots of Grand Canyon trips. He did great in that little boat! He’d go first and show the big rafts and catarafts (14’ to 16’) what line to take. All the boaters on this trip are former whitewater raft guides (including me) so it was a very experienced and fun group. All the big boats hauled group gear, including the huge kitchen set-up, along with the personal gear of those of us in small boats.

Wish I could be embarrassed like that! Awesome fleet!

Thanks, just curious as I have one as well but have only done two person day floats with it.

Not really, but the definition of a boat is a hole in the water to pour money into…. More applicable to watercraft with motors than not.

My little 20 yo Poke Boat; 7' long, ~20lbs, chuck in the back of the van for quick trips or when there's nowhere to use a trailer. (And nope, they don't make them anymore )




And my luxury ride; a Hobie Compass. Love, love, love the Mirage Drive 180! Makes trolling backwards a breeze, and has saved a lot of wear and tear on my much-abused rotator cuff.

Trailer makes launch or load easy.

Many years ago I used to see a guy paddling his poke boat UP the Wallace quite a bit!
