    Want to buy a boat but worried

    Just thought I would send you a couple of pics of my humble mods. might give you some ideas. what you may like and what you don't like. For a little tinny, the boat is hard to beat, lake or river. But be mindful, the boat is light and the wind can be bothersome especially when over 15 mph. It...

    I have a very similar craft. 1967 alumacraft 14 foot FD model. Has the same decals on the sides. I have made a few mods to my little tiny mostly with wood so a bit of weight has been added. It does make a difference in speed. I have a 2021 Mercury 9.9 , when boat was stock I was able to get 20...

    Dustin's 14ft alumacraft conversion... lots of pictures!

    I just got around to reading this post. I have a similar Alumacraft in the FD model. They are very sturdy and reliable little boats. I don't claim any skills on the remodel but I am pleased with my set up. This works for me fairly well. Rides the wakes from the big boats well.

    Where do you store your boat registration while out on the water?

    I keep my license and boat reg. in my wallet. Both are hard plastic. water will not hurt them. Also I have an app from TWRA that has my boat and license in the app on the phone. Keep phone in water proof container when boating.

    Replacing transom wood- without disassembling aluminum

    db4570, I have a 1967 Alumacraft and had the same problem when I first got it. mbullen posted has posted the proper method and great instructions. Unfortunately for me I had to learn the hard way :oops:. I could not save my top transom plate, so I made one out of aluminum angle. Take your time...

    I have a 9.9 2021 model pull start. it is on a 14' alumacraft 1967 FD model. Even with my modifications I get about 17 to 20 mph out of the old gal.
