Hey everyone sorry for the delay... After my last post I took some pics and went to upload them to the 'ol computer' and it no longer worked....... and still is not working #-o !! Thought I'd throw in a post from work. I hope to have all problems (computer related) solved within a week and add...

I'm no mechanic, but I would think if the same thing keeps happening, there is a reason for it. If it were me I would pose the question to the dealer you got it form that; 'since this has happened twice now, who pays to fix it the third time when it's no longer under warranty?' What happens...

Started to grind off some corrosion tonight, what a pain in the @#$. Turns out it's worse than I thought, so it's a good thing that I'm doing it. I'll post some pic tomorrow.

Still learning how to post quotes :roll: Didn't mean to give the Quackrstackr all the credit or put words in his mouth. #-o

I have a wood bench with a piece of angle bolted on the edge, otherwise that is how I planned on making my bends. I'm gonna give it a shot, if it doesn't work then I'll just have to try something else. That is a great site!! thanks for the post. =D> With that said, it seems it would almost...

I did a search on homemade livewells but couldn't find exaclty what I was looking for. I've got an idea in my head on how to make one custom for what I need. Due to size rqmts of the area I would like to install it during my mod, it's hard to find premanufactured that works one on ebay, etc...

I kind of figured that was the case, but it never hurts to ask.. Thanks for the advice. Hey LCA were you able to pick that stuff up at your local hardware or automotive store? Crank'in

Thanks Waterwings for the thought, but I too ran my tubing so runs all the way through the bench. I was thinking more along the lines of a 'rubber cap' that really isn't a cap :? . Meaning I want to soften the inside edge of the pvc tubing so I don't scrape rods and such as there are sliding...

That's too bad, but ya gotta look on the bright side.... I don't know what recycled aluminum is going for in Nashville, but here is So Cal (LA) you'd get $1.90 a pound, which means if you can find a good deal, scrapping this boat will pay for your new one that you get to choose!! Crank'in

Nice job thus far!! I to decided to frame with aluminum angle, 1 1/4", it might be a little over kill, but I was able to get a good price. I also used the pvc tubing for rod holders, but my layout is more like the traditional bass boat, meaning they are all on one side. After seeing your's I...

As I am working on updating the trailer and making it safe to travel down the road again, I cannot figure out how to bring the finish back to life. It's a galvanized trailer but it has a light corrosion on it basically everywhere. It's not to the point of making it 'unsafe' (no rust), but...

Didn't everybody hear??? That is Toyota's 2008 prototype for the 2009 Tundra. They're callin it the 'Angler' model. You hit the ramp in reverse at about 45 mph and your boat is-a-floatin, and when you're ready to go home, you have the Ol' Lady back'er up and drive it on. It's the new RAVE...

Great start on the boat!! What is the thickness of the aluminum sheathing your using for the flooring? Crank'in

Great Job!!! Talk about going from rags to riches!! One question, do you have anymore pics of your framing? I am getting ready to start my own and it looks like you did a stellar job. Crank'in

Here some pics of what I was able to get done over the weekend. I primed and painted the outside. Once I start framing the inside, I'll post some more pics.

Hey Rebg38, thanks for the post! It seems like you are extremely happy with your boat, and trust me when I say, I'm glad to hear that. I'll start off by answering your questions. 1. According to the titles for the both the boat and trailer, they were manufactured in 1982. 2. It's a 1548. 3...

My pics are too large, I'll have to re-take some!

I have no progress photos yet, bet here are a few pics the day I brought the boat home. This is my test run to make sure the photos post.

Right now it is 7pm and it is still over 90. I tried a test tonight when it was about 95 and I had the same result.

Thanks for the link Jim. I read through all the post and I still am not having much luck. I bought the same brand of stripper the other members used, but think I have a problem with the air temp. I live in So Cal and in temp ranged form 100-105 for the last week, and everytime I tried to use...
