Nice boat, im sure you will have fun getting it right! Price wasn't too bad either, did he give you the trailer as well?

i bought a set last spring and have used many times. I fish a lot of tournaments so I needed a good rainsuit that is comfortable and lasts and this is it! I definitely reccommend it to anyone considering. Very lightweight and breathable so you wont get too hot.

I love to fly fish. Mostly for bluegill and bass. That's what I use this boat for 90% of the time.

Thanks! The dog loves to fish. She is looking forward to having the carpet to sit on rather than that hot aluminum.

I was able to finish carpeting the benches this weekend and finished the 2 storage hatches that I added. Here are some photos. I fastened the carpeted plywood to the benches with 1/4'' SS washers and 1-1/4'' decking screws. I thought it turned out pretty good. The storage...

Man, Im lost. I only put plywood on parts that were flat - the benches. There is some plywood that is just laying on the floor to give you somewhere to walk. I never fastened it down. I think over time it has formed to the the angle of the floor. I will be replacing the plywood in the floor...

Awesome dude! Thanks, I appreciate your help and your expertise!

You can always use 30lb roofing felt in between any places where the metal touches the wood. There isn't a whole lot of price difference and a heck of a lot easier IMO. Just unroll the felt and lay the plywood on top and cut with your razor. You can attach the felt with liquid nails, staples...

Thanks bassboy! That is the right motor. The only kill switch i have is the red button which has the clip around it. I pulled the clip out which makes the button go in, but it doesnt kill the motor. Here are some up close shots and one of the data tag. I tried to take the thing apart to...

The front floor does arch up, but i didnt deck it.

The stop button on my 15hp Johnson doesn't work anymore. It pushes in and out but just doesnt do anything. Lately I have been pulling the choke and flooding the motor to cut it off (not good I know). The button assembly looks like it would be easy to replace, but I can't find one online...

I can't give you any advice as to what method to use becuase I havent painted my boat yet. But this link tells you that it would take 12 spray cans to camo a 14' boat inside and out. https://www.mackspw.com/Item--i-STXSKS

You guys are on your way to recovery. You have taken the first step: admitting you have a problem.

NC State Record is 4lb 6oz. They are a lot of fun to catch, especially this time of year when they are bedding.

They have a lot of other names. I have always called them shellcrackers, but a lot of folks around here call them leather ears. See this link: https://www.ncwildlife.org/pg03_Fishing/profiles/pages/Redear.htm
