These old boats bring back some fond memories for me, it's funny how time marches on. My father bought one of the 17x42 models in the early 90's from Clay, who my grandfather also knew well before that time. I remember several of dads friends and another uncle of mine in the area bought them also.
Our hull saw 3 different 25's and eventually a "built" 40 yamaha. I gave it to someone to use as a pond boat. My uncle bought a 15x50 model not too long after, its had a couple engines but spent most of it's time with a mega 25. I know of at least 3 of the old ones that are still around.
During those years I really can't count how many hours I spent in those two boats. We fished toledo, calcasieu, BL, burns, lac a fish, and hunted sabine nwr a lot. Hell, if I had a good 3 cyl tiller I'd buy one from you all now.
