Let's see your flotilla😀

Same small boat as @troutpocket.

Slightly larger boat, a 14 foot double ender. Bought from a member on another site, with a serious amount of undisclosed rot and leakage. Got a crash course in wooden boat restoration.

Sorry to laugh - I bought a wood pram at a yard sale in Silverdale. The guy helped me load it in the back of truck, stern first. When I got home, I grabbed the bow to slide the boat out - lo and behold: the bow came off, the boat stayed in the truck. I too had a crash course in wood boat repairs.

Asked the guy I bought it from if there was any reason why I shouldn’t launch it in the lake on my way home. He said no. An hour later I’m checking the drain plug wondering why there’s an inch of water in the bottom.
 
Started with this

Got addicted to the freedom from beach fishing, sold it and bought this

Had a PAC 900 that I sold when I lived in Bellingham. Would like to get another pontoon one of these days to get back into some lake fishing.

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.

That little boat is awesome!
 
10' Koffler Wide Back. I installed a wider trailer axle & extended the fender brackets for a custom trailer fit. With the long tongue, I can launch this in some inhospitable places and not even get the rear axle on the truck wet. Tows & backs-up like a dream.

12' New Canoe Frontier.

Fat Cat (the float tube, not the old man)

Plus a Scadden Renegade, a Bucks framed pontoon and 2 vintage Wood River Stealthrider float tubes. I need to thin the fleet one of these days. I sold my 21' Northwest Jet Boat when a guy stopped by the house and offered me a substantial profit to purchase a boat that I was no longer using much (plus, I had quit Steelheading by that time; it was my taxi to out of the way "fly water" in the Hanford Reach and my McNary Dam "plug puller.".).
