    Project SeaArk (NO 56K) Update New Pics

    for paint i would not go with anything you find in your local hardware store. i painted my trailer and a previous boat with rustoleum and it peeled and did not look great. so this time around i did a google search for auto paint places around my town. i found one, went in, and these people were...

    The boat is completely gutted. we are getting ready to paint the riveted seams with a product called glove-it. the couple we originally purchased the boat from told us there was a small leak at one point. however when we tore the boat down there were probably 30 different ways for this "leak"...

    did you go to napa??? i feel it did a decent job for 10 bucks :P would have loved shark hide but for the price and the fact that i didnt want to wait for shipping...and sharkhide gives to much shine for my liking...wanted shiny but not a mirror

    where to buy a 1236 jon?

    i had a small Jon that was 10 feet that me and my best friend fished out of.... We always wish we had a bigger boat but even a 12' wouldn't have survived the big lake. I personally would go bigger, besides when resale comes a 15' is probably more desirable... you can only go bigger once and you...

    Restoring my 1988 Blue Fin Bass Dominator

    the boat is 16 ft long. not great but for the price it should rival any used tracker... The boats coming along great its just turning out to be more work that i originally expected. i figured new wood carpet and a few parts. we have taken it down to the guts. we were nervous about the rivets...

    Restoring my 1988 Blue Fin Bass Dominator

    yeah honestly i am planning on entering tournaments with this boat...not pro but amateur at the lake near my house. I figured for 5 fish limit two live wells would be better plus make it a lot easier to separate your keepers from your fillers... the boat is built pretty sturdy , today i...
