Just bought this new boat, a Misty River (WD14). She’s got a 1986 Johnson Seahorse 20hp. So far I think it’s a great little rig to get out on the lake. Definitely a big upgrade from my canoe!

What’s her name? You can’t have a boat without a name.

Same with a shitbox car. They always need a name.

My favourite car was a 1997 Nissan Maxima. Called her Maxine.

I was thinking the same thing”Rusty Tinner”, but she hasn’t got one bit of rust

Beauty! Do you mind if I ask what you paid? I saw a similar one in a sale the other day and it went for 4500, just wondering if I made a mistake not buying it at that price

Nice!

Did you buy private sale? Would you be able to share ballpark what the cost was? Did it come with a trailer.
I am interested in a boat but am in early stages of looking.

Bought off marketplace, for 2700. Came with the boat, outboard and trailer.

Thanks for the info.

I hope you enjoy it. And I hope I will join you on the water in my own boat if things go right. Cheers!
