You are absolutely correct. Sorry for not looking hard enough. Thanks russ010 for finding it.

I just got settle at my new duty station(FT Bragg, NC) after being deployed to Iraq for a year and was about to pick up where I left off on my boat build/mod but I can't seem to find my post/thread. Oh well, guess it got taken off for inactivity but hey, it's all good. Guess I'll just start...

Thanks for the kind comments. It has been a labor of love with it being my first boat and all, but hey, it was fun. Hopefully the pictures I attached gives a good view. I actually extended/moved the console about 5" closer to center for better control and stability when underway. The left base...

Thanks. Using aluminum for the frame sounds great. Since this was my first attempt at I went with wood, next time I may give aluminum a try. I'm sure you'll have it looking like a champ when you're done. There are some great ideas and great folks on this board that'll help you along the way so...

Yes, I purchased the "Jon Boat To Bass Boat" back in Apr '08. I really wanted a small, manageable and inexpensive boat to get out on the local lakes from time to time so I went out and got an Alumnacraft 1542 from Academy. Well, I didn't know where to start so I started searching the www and...

Thanks and that's the problem, been workin so much lately I really haven't had a lot of time to get out and fish. I will definitely post some pics when it is officially a "bass' boat. Thanks again.

I appreciate your kind comments. This is my first boat and I didn't want to over do it but once you get started it's kinda hard to stop :lol: I look at your post a few weeks ago and man, your boat really looks awsome. Thanks again and good luck on the water

Finally got time to update you guys on my boat. Hopefully I'll have time between now and October to get some fishing done before the mobilization. I've added new seats that were the wrong color so I had to paint them to match the boat. I also added a steering system; Teleflex steering cable and...

Hello to all, finally had some time to install a few mods and probably won't do more until I finally get a trolling motor, hopefully for X-mas :D Anyway, thanks and good luck on the water. Some of the items added are a bilge pump, thru-transom pump for filling the baitwell, baitwell pump for...

Here are the newest updates to the project. I've installed a few items since the last update to include the bateery and some wiring for lights and future accessories. I painted the outside of the boat in honor of the Dallas Cowboys plus I kinda liked the color, hope it lasts a while. Lastly, the...

Thanks for the kind words and yeah the kids love the outdoors so I try to get 'em out as much as possible. Na, this is my first boat and first attempt at a project like this but I have always been kinda interested in working wood and building stuff. I'll be trying my hand at painting it next so...

Okay, I finally have time to upload pics of the slow but sure progress we( the kids and I) are making on the boat. So far, I got the 1984 30hp Evinrude running. I won off a TPWD auction back in July '08. It's my first outboard so I really had no idea what condition it was in or would be in but I...

Hey guy's and gals, here's and update to my bost project. I posted some pics so if you don't mind, please be gentle, I kinda went a little cheap on the seats and pedestals due to back to school and all that. But, I figured they would give me a good start and I'll more than likely upgrade them...

Thanks to Captain Ahab and Kajun for the info. I'll check the manual on how to change out the impeller this weekend. Thanks again.
