Post a Pic of your boat!

Thats a sweet rig.

Yes, those are twin consoles. Heres a pic from head-on. I bought the boat with the consoles loose and installed them fully forward. It gives me about 10 feet of empty space in the rear for fishing.

it's a starting point. 12' Sea king Jon. $40. no trailer , no motor , no leaks

Bro, I have just bought that same boat and am decking the front now. I have to say that your price was much better than mine. 40 bucks is awesome! Well done. Send me pics once you start modding it.

Why is the boat on the trailer and lying on it's side?Just curious.Never seen that before.

It's actually hanging from an overhead hoist. I was working on the trailer before I picked up the boat and put it on the trailer when I took it out of the back of my truck. When I got the boat it hard been sitting on the bank of a pond under some trees and was very nasty. In that pic I had just finished cleaning it, I had it on it's side to wash all the crap out of it and it was easier to lift it by the trailer. After cleaning it thoroughly I put a "roll on" bedliner coating on the inside to seal it .

hey Macgyver,
from rolling on bedliner on the bottom, did that make the boat heavier, and a lil different in sound when water hits the boat , you know how you get that hitting sound, did it make it a lil sound proof??
and did you put anything under the boat to seal it also??

 

[Macgyver]

No, it didn't make it heavier, I don't think , it did lessen the sound from thumbs , bumps and water slapping the hull. the reason I did the bedliner was thinking it would help seal the few minor leaks I had. it did some , but not all.

Nice rig, kemical ! You get around to refurbishing it, Iguanagraphix might be able to duplicate that Alumacraft emblem on the boat and make you some nice new decals. 8)

Here is my tin. It is a 1666 Snyder with 175 Evinrude converted to a jet 2004 model. It had carpet in it and this year I took it out and had Line-X sprayed it and new seats. Top speed is about 40mph, but I usually cruise on the river at about 27mph. The first pic is when I bought it and the last 2 are pics after the Line-X was done.

 

[Specknreds]

Welcome to Tin boats!! Very interesting the way the console is positioned on your boat. I like it, never seen that before.

Sweet looking rig! Where do you fish it?

 

[Popeye]

I've never heard of Snyder boats before. I went to their website and they look pretty tough. I like that center console look. The trailer looks like it's built like a tank too. I like the walkway down the centerline of the trailer. That thing looks like it would be pretty good for flounder gigging. I wonder how well jets last in salt water?

 

[Zum]

Think theres a pretty long waiting list on those boats,nice for sure.

 

[Andy]

That's the kind of setup I need.. NO place on the river would be safe if I had a boat like that.. LOL Ofcourse I'd have to add some skids to the bottom... Not really worried about skimming on gravel, but there are some pretty nasty ledges around here.

Awesome boat optaylor823!!

Nice rigs guys! 8)

No need for skids. The boat has UHMW on the bottom which is like Teflon cutting board, so it slides across rocks. The center console is toward the front to balance out the boat. It keeps the back end from sitting deep in the water when running and floating. There is about a 2 year waiting period to get a new one, but if a man does not mind traveling to get one he can find one used. They are made tough. It has .190 bottom and .125 sides with the UHMW on the bottom. I fish the Duck River in Columbia, TN.

I think I'd travel around the world for one... IF i could afford it ofcourse.... LOL

Thanks for the welcome and all the nice comments. I agree most guys would travel around, but I think when they got there they may still in line. LOL
