Welcome from SC!!! Nice setup...kind of looks like a Wooldridge boat...I have one myself! Love those boats!

Actually I designed and built the boat, after a trip to Alaska a few. years ago with a 16 foot car topper I got hooked on halibut fishing out of ninilchik, decided we needed a safer boat that we could hauling top of our truck while pulling our 5th wheel toy hauler, needed to be able to launch off the beach so has flat bottom, you might note the 50 hp honda( of course ) is mounted in a well like a pc dory, that keeps it short ( 16 ft) so we can haul the boat and trailer ahead of the 5th wheel without it hanging Out over the truck bumper. Had it up there 4 times, headed back up in June of 18 for a couple of months. Got to fill the freezer, almost empty

That is very interesting for sure! Sounds like you might be have a little more fab experience than just "playing around"! Not many folks trust their skills enough to build a boat like that one!!! Looks great!!! This group of people on here LOVE seeing pics of self made designs and ideas...so feel free share what all you made and your accessories on your Pioneer!!!

Nope, dont think so, I've wasted a few bucks on cars too, hence the rb40, 2 40 ford street rods, a 2 door sedan,a convertible, just finished a 56 thunderbird, I also have a 77 Honda goldwing I restored, where are you, I have a good friend in kellyville, be seeing him next week in Arizona for the rest of the winter, then us and our wives are headed for Alaska for a couple of months

I'm really liking the T Bird. Always wanted one. I have had several Mustangs. I am currently trying to get up the energy to restore a 66 convertible that I have had in storage since 1980. I am in Edmond, on the North side of OKC, just off Route 66. Kellyville is about 70 miles up the Tulsa turnpike from me.
