    Jay415's Alumacraft MV1648

    Jay- I have basically the same boat as yours and i am definitely stealing your livewell idea. My front deck is basically done the same as yours except I am kind of unhappy with the fact that I made the hatches to wide, so i cannot mount the front seat in between them, so basically the seat is...

    deck building

    Love the deck! I like my stuff to be sturdy and by the looks you may be able to put an elephant on that back end! I am completing my MOD and hoping to have the first voyage this saturday! Good luck!

    1648 Semi-V Jon Mod (Completed)

    Hey awesome build! I watched your youtube videos and it turned out great. We virtually have almost the same build. I am doing an alumacraft 1648. Where did you get your switch panels from? Also I was wondering if I could contact you in regards to the livewell plumbing. I am kind of nervous to...

    As I sit here at work

    Nice! St. Petes is a nice area. Last 4th of July I made my first real trip to florida (first non cruise trip) and I explored from tampa, to orlando, and then st petes. Even made my way over to coco to watch the last space shuttle launch. Loved St. Petes, I would love to do some Florida fishing...

    LED lights, colors, bugs, etc

    I am currently trying to figure out the same thing. I would like a light that will provide better vision in the boat but will also not break the bank.

    Got to doing a bit more today.. It's not perfect but I can say I'm pleased. I grew up hunting and with guns. I can honestly say I've never really been much into wood working or building and this is my first time building anything like this. With that being said this portion came from measuring...

    basic live well question

    Kind of. The livewell is in the center seat. What type of pump do you recommend? I'll have a bilge pump with a pvc valve that will act as aerator and a drainer if needed. I appreciate everyones help!

    basic live well question

    Basic live well question.... Do I just put a hole directly under the boat, underthe live well for a basic gravity fill method? Also, if I have a 3/4 inch gravity fill, will a 1 inch overflow be wide enough? In theory you would think bigger Hole= bigger water flow. But I was unsure is the...

    So I only had an hour to make a few cuts. I put in a new piece of plywood for the flooring, and this is the idea for extending the deck. I will have 16 inches of depth for storage, and about 19 inches by 21 inches for the box cut-outs. I am not sure if i am doing this right or not, to be honest...

    Guide-on and live well question

    So I am trying to make guide ons for my yacht club trailer. Question is, do I just drill a hole in the fender area and bolt down the stabilizers I'm using for the base? Second question on live wells in general: if I am going to drill a hole that is dedicated to use to fill the livewell, do I...

    Hot- Yeah I love my boat. Many people seem to envy jon's when they have to spend part fo their day with maintenance to their fancy boats, I can just park it and leave it if I wanted and it would be fine rain or shine. jjk- Do you have a boat as well? Yeah I am very surprised with this weather...
