Well, if I'm going to follow that boat I might as well go to the opposite end of the spectrum.
14' Hyside circa 1995. Old fleet boat. I came home from work one day and my wife told me she bought us a boat. Got her for $1500, which included the rubber, frame, cooler, dry box, and 3 Carlisle oars. I got a couple new oars, replaced the pins/clips with oar locks, put some foam on the cooler, built some drop floors and rod holders. Finally got a trailer last fall.
We don't seek whitewater. She's primarily a fishing boat, sans fishing frame or anchor. No matter, she gets it done.
Yeah, she's old, but she's bomber. She's got good history, too. After a brief stint as a fleet boat, she went on to run the Middle Fork, Gore a few times, the Grand 4 times, and other less notable stretches. Now that she's mine she's semi-retired, floating class III, getting fish slime on her, and taking kids and dogs down the river.

Not whitewater related, but this is the boat I've been paddling most lately. The 8 miles in the middle of this paddle across Flathead Lake was super fun surfing from one swell to another. The final 4-5 miles was brutal. Waves got big enough where we'd lose track of the safety boat when separated by the waves.
