Alright every one this post I started one year ago and finally got started on the boat and it was a long month but now she is ready to hit the water I still have more plans but I am very happy with. The change and even. More after seeing the before pictures and I will post them as soon as it...

well i thimk i figured it out i tested the turning motor and it went both ways looked over every thing else. i used my sniffer and the control board smells burnt so i have a new one on the way $75 and free shipping not bad

all right everyone i need your help i have an autopilot turbo 865 36lb thrust that decided it dont want to turn left. i tried a diffrent foot peddle and no change any one else have this problem or knows what i need to fix? any advise would help thanks guys..

i agree with jim save the money and enjoy your first boat you could save up for some thing bigger... :lol:

well it sound like you will be putting a casting deck on and its all up to you. but wear a life jacket the first time you try it out at least and you should do what everyone told me and get it in the water as is and stand on the front seat and see if you feel comfortable at that height and if...

thank you guys for all the help ill get it in the water this weekend. i am just working on the trailer you know sanding painting new lights rollers and bunks but will be done soon i will post pics when i have the trailer done. and i will stick the motor on thanks for the advise again

your boat looks great and its good to know that its stable with a deck thats how i want to do mine just over the front seat.how wide is your boat on top? thanks for the pic

sorry to here about you loss but you will find some thing try craigslist.org people you can find some thing in your price range an they are usally willing to take an offer. dont hurt to try.

i will most of the time only have two in the boat, not to often will i have three

that is a great find. i am working on a 14 foot v hull and plan to put a casting deck on the front so we are dealing with the same issues. i havent decided if i wanted to run it all the way to the center seat but if i did it would make alot of storage but well see. cant wait to see your progress

the boat is looking great! keep us informed i would love to see the finished product. the deck looks great i hope mine turns out like that when i get it done or started

no you dont need a special bit, but put some lube on it wd or some thing to help it from over heating and dont force it let the bit do the cutting.

well congrats on the boat and get us some pictures so we can help if you want any ideas. i love fishing walleye, we do pretty good in mn with them.

and i forgot the boat is 5 feet wide.
