Hey guys I made a brief intorduction on my build but I guess this is the place. My name is Alex I'm 23 from Northeast Pennsylvania. My boat is a 14' 3" Starcraft Seafarer. I have started on my outboard a 1972 Evinrude 9.5 but I am waiting for the weather up here to turn for the better so I can get started on the boat itself. After some questions and research on here I have an idea of what I would like to do but each and every build has something a little different to offer. I am open to any suggestions and advise that you have learned through experience on your builds. I look forward to hearing any feedback and sharing progress.
 
Hello, My name is Dan. I am a heavy equipment mechanic that specializes in deep foundation drilling equipment and cranes. I live in Alabama but travel all over to do my job. I have a 1436 flat bottom that I fish out of that needs lots of work. I just bought a brand new Mercury 20hp 4 stroke and it looks a little funny sitting on the back of a ragged old boat. I was looking online for some ideas on improving the boat when I happened across this site and man am I glad I did. Ya'll have really done some amazing things to your small boats. I hope to fix my ol' girl up and make her worthy to share the same space as some of the ones I have been seeing on here. I'm sure I will have a ton of questions and hopefully some answers too. I look forward to being a member here.

I have been on this site for about a week and love it. I have an old Alumacraft 14x48 with a 25/20 jet that I did a lot of work to. I also have a '08 Snyder 16x60 custom jet boat with a 115 Etec jet. I still play around with the old boat a lot adding stuff and fixing stuff on it. I mainly fish in Virginia and Pennsylvania for smallmouth and musky.

Hi everyone. I'm new to the site and recently posted the start of my Sears 12ft Jon project. I have gotten a ton of ideas and read a lot of really good advice here on tinboats. Hopefully I'll have a lake ready setup soon and move on to posting pics of monster bass!

Hi all. I just picked up a tracker 1436 with a custom paint job and an evinrude 9.9 2 smoke to push it. I have my 57 lightwin 3 horse as backup. I can't wait for the thaw to get out and give it a try! Great site guys.
 
North Carolina here. I picked up a 1966 14' Foremost. Found this site and it's great. I wasn't sure what I was going to do till I found it. Very useful! Thanks everyone!
