    Post a Pic of your boat!

    I've been absent for a while. I'm back but tin boat less at the moment. I moved and could only have my Bass Cat or my aluminum rig. Kept the Cat but will be getting another tin rig after my garage is redone. Sold my Alweld to my brother. My only ride for now: 2014 Bass Cat Pantera II/Mercury Pro...

    Alweld 1648 storage issues

    I too will be using my boat for duck hunting, bass fishing and family catfishing trips. I think I have finally learned how to keep everything mobile and just add or remove what I need for that trip. Good looking fishing/hunting partner BTW

    Been out of country for a little bit. Got one side of the boat painted and most of the motor. Hopefully i can finish up tomorrow and maybe the sun will shine for better pictures.

    Alweld 1648 storage issues

    I have the same boat except a flat version. Ad far as I know the bench and front deck have flotation in them.

    Boat work/mods/welding in south LA

    Does anyone have any recommendations to have some metal work done on my boat around Lafayette, LA? I'll probably be looking to add pods and maybe build a livewell out of the existing deck extension, add a floor and have a dry bow made. I tried to search on google but I couldn't come up with...

    I got it from a place online called Exploration Outfitters. It's a combo spot/flood 12 bulb. I like it now, but at first I had lots of wiring harness problems. The wiring harness is made for vehicles and was designed to be sheltered, not exposed to the elements of duck hunting.

    I haven't able to do much in the past few days because I'm overseas. Before I left I did manage to mount my hole cover and mount my LED with the proper bolts. Untitled by texas_bred83, on Flickr The tool I made to hold the nuts so that I could secure the light bar with the allen bolts...

    Thanks Finished my hole cover but don't have it installed yet. Also played with some different camo patterns/looks. I was kind of confined to the garage today because of weather. I'll be painting the boat next but I have to wait until we get the old beat up hull out of my garage, turning it...

    Well for now the wiring is done, all the lights and the bilge work. Got the nav lights painted and mounted and got the LED light bar mounted, drilled the holes and mounted the trolling motor(yesterday it was just sitting up there). Took the boat on a test run and it was blowing out/cavitating...

    Well I didn't get all the supplies I wanted today but they are on the way. I did get most of the boat wired, including my NAV lights, trolling motor and LED light bar. The paint on my nav lights wasn't quite dry but the wires are there waiting on them to be mounted. I have come up with a...

    New here, I've had plenty of boats mostly aluminum and two fiberglass bass boats. A Bass Cat and Skeeter. My most recent Weldbilt 1548 kept cracking welds and cracking in spots where there were no welds and I just sold my Bass Cat last week. So I decided to buy me a new aluminum hull. I picked...

    New Member Introductions!

    New here, just bought my first brand boat(hull only). Here are my two previous boats, 1996 Bass Cat, sold last week. And a 2003 Weldbilt 1548 MV. I finally gave the boat too much abuse and the hull started cracking really bad in a lot of places and I have had the ribs welded back in 3 times. I...
