    1970's Ouachita Semi V Conversion

    The clips to the rails are actually T joints that i cut a channel into. just slightly smaller than the rail so it clips on the rail instead of resting on it. worked well. we had lots of heavy snow this year and it held up very nicely.

    1970's Ouachita Semi V Conversion

    Finally ran the boat last night! Not a single leak, we stayed high and dry. the boat sits level even with the rod locker full of poles and a small battery for the radio. with the 7.5 hp we were topping out at 10mph according to the GPS. doing a little plowing through the water with some spray...

    1970's Ouachita Semi V Conversion

    thank you, we wanted to take out of this weekend but Kinzua Reservoir had a strong breeze and white caps so we didn't want to run it. the locker maybe weighs 15 pounds with the wood, carpet, glue. its not too bad I didn't anticipate it to cause any issue. once we get it on the water i will look...

    1970's Ouachita Semi V Conversion

    Stewart, If they are well placed I can fit 6 rods in the locker. I cannot fit the 8 foot poles I have but they break down and I can stuff them at the very bottom.

    1980-1983 Johnson seahorse 7.5 HP Prop Question

    Hi all, I purchased a 7.5 Johnson in the middle of summer last year, from the day i bought it i always thought the prop looks like the blades were almost flattened out with the tips of the blades almost pointing to the transom of the boat. is this normal?

    Worried boat is too shallow

    remove the rear two benches. foam the floor and a sheet of plywood with some outdoor carpeting to keep it cheap.use your existing seats and these stands. will look good and give you versatility to move seats around

    Homemade mini pontoon project

    Where did you purchase the Geofoam? I cant find it anywhere online. The stuff looks cool, people have filled old in ground pools and put concrete over it to keep cost down.

    a larger boat will also draw less water. (in a perfect world, when they all weigh the same)

    Transom Height / Motor Fit question...

    does anyone know about the Attwood Hydrostabilizar Jr? the fins aren't flat like traditional stabilizers. they have a slight upward angle, says the end comes out of the water when on plane to reduce drag...
