Here's being really frugal lol built a anchor today out of scrap iron.. 24.6lbs... should be plenty :)

Sweet thank!

Got the engine started brand new impeller, it was spraying water out like crazy but there was a small stream comming out the back? Is this normal

Good point, I was thinking if it was windy to just use my 25hp on low idle.... but the fuel consumption is something to consider.... I'll play around with the engine this spring see how the boat handles on waves.... I might go bigger

Hmm yea I might have to look for something used budget is already pretty low dumped a bunch Into this boat already lol

Impeller *

Parts showed up last night! gotta put together new Empower some bolts thermostat and gasket and took about three pulls and she fired up for about 10 to 15 seconds sounded nice and quiet then it cut off thinking I need to adjust the carburetor just a little bit or possibly the low idle speed but...

1974 25hp johnson, waiting for parts, almost ready to go, and yes the seats are new :) I have an online blog going of my full restoration www.onemanandapole.weebly.com "click on boat restoration" together

I like that floor plan! Simile. ..

The steering console is in bad shape... as in nothing bit a steering wheel... I decided to remove it for extra room and didn't want to dump a bunch more money into it.

I bought the Lowrance 4x HDI (no chirp) ice fishing soft pack for $250 @ cabelas... I loved it for ice fishing! Worked great had split screen either sonar/downscan (which I agree is pointless for icefishing or being anchored.) Sonar regular/sonar zoomed, and sonar/flasher. I saw tons of fish on...
