    '88 16ft V mod. muskiecraft

    Hey all, I private message brought me back to the forum and I thought I would give an update for anyone questioning the paint I decided to use. Bottom line is its great! I have had no flaking, pealing, or anything like that. I have run the boat to a dead stop by driving up on a sandbar once...

    Transom thru hull? Plastic/Polyurethane vs Bronze fittings?

    Flexible tubing can be used for all of the lines if you like. That's how many rigs are setup. I used PVC under my floor with flexible tubing at each end.

    How to mount a transducer without putting holes in the boat

    If you look at how a humminbird transducer mounts you will see that it can flip up if it bangs on something. This will prevent it from breaking. I would think that other brands have similar designs. I have 8 transducer mounting holes in the back of my boat. Most people do actually put holes...

    '88 16ft V mod. muskiecraft

    Any HVAC company could probably do it for you. I don't know if they would though, it is beyond what they normally do. You are better off just going to Lowes/Home Depot/Menards/etc. and picking up a bottle of MAPP gas for $10.00 and doing the work yourself. Its not terribly difficult. The...

    I picked up all the aluminum angle at "discount steel" in Minneapolis. I bought it at the full lenth price because it is cheapest that way. I rolled my front van passenger window down and drove home with it sticking a out the window and all the way back in my van. I have a lot of money in the...

    '88 16ft V mod. muskiecraft

    Yes, I picked up the Bow light off a clearance shelf somewhere along the way. Cord reel works great. We don't have enough room to have anchor ropes laying all over the place in our rigs.

    Power Pole

    I have one of these and its great. I plan to add a second so i can pin the bow and transom for current/winds. Make sure you attach a float to it cause they sink. :shock:

    These two images should give you a clear picture of how the front and pack portion of the rod holders would work. They are still in place and if I ever want to use them I could just finish the access hatch to have access to them. As you can see from the picture I have enough room under the...

    I had been wanting to get back and post an update and someone resurrected my thread so here it is :) I have been using the snot out of the rig and I am very happy with the outcome. I still have some work to do, but other then changing the rear seat mount and installing a bow trolling motor I...

    1981 16’ Starcraft Seafarer Finished (New pics 6/5/12)

    If you haven't mounted this yet, I found that 3M 5200 didn't stick to it when I applied mine. I ended up redoing this plate using JB Weld after 3 of the 4 holes behind it leaked on my boat.

    I have gone off shore and caught Mahi a few times and I have surf fished the beach a number of times but I haven't dropped a line in any freshwater down here yet. I plan to soon though. I am going with the "high speed" build now since I put this entire project on hold 1/2 way through the...

    Cabelas Returns

    I bought a telescopic medium action bait casting rod from them. Took it out with a big abu 6000 reel on it and started tossing double cowgirls. I was fishing from a dock and I needed a telescopic rod to do it. About the 4th cast and it shattered in 5 places. I took most of the pieces back to...
