How thick is the foam? Looks like nice big casting area.

Good to know it is holding up. I've same boat and was thinking about using the panels for side panels. For UV protection, I would paint it with rattle can paint made for plastic. I was thinking about riveting it on but lowes has fasteners for it that look like they would work better.

big improvement. Keep the pictures coming.

My next tin build will be a 1964 square back aluminum canoe. I'll be able to load it myself and go to the smaller lakes. I am making it electric with a wood canoe paddle for back up. I'll post pictures once I get it going.

I like your side panels. Nice and clean.

I would try it and see if it works. I put a cutting board on top of my bunks and four years later they are still working great.

I have the endura with the handle that extends. It has been a great motor, but it is a transom mount. I want to upgrade to front mount with foot control. I want one that has a very small foot print on the front deck. I may go wireless. Then the endura will power jon boat on electric lakes...

What do you do to your leaf springs? Mine aren't cracked or broken, is that all?

I have thought about a tiny-tach. I start looking for the same size prop as is on it now, but I think your right about getting a tiny-tach first.

I have an old 9 1/4" x 11 prop on my boat. The new one is 9" x 10. How will the new prop change the way my boat drives. Is it a big difference and I should keep looking for one the same as old one( which is fine, but bent and nicked and looking really old). The dealer said the 9x10 was...

I guess I look at things differently. I bought a used boat, was on the water from the first. No raiding the safe for cash, or making payments on a new one. I think even if I bought new there would be things I wanted different. I don't have to worry about my boat breaking or scratching the...

If it has clear titles, for $200 I would take it on as a build. Of course, you are going to figure out how to bring her home. I wouldn't tow on that trailer until the axel was rebuilt and the trailer adjusted for the boat. looking forward to pictures.

how about some pictures of the inside of the boat. how much support does the decking give the boat? How great of a deal?

I have friends who did the 9.9 to 15 upgrade and kept the cowling with old horsepower. Of course a lot would depend on local and state enforcing said rules and Illinois is easy to get along with. Patrol stop at local lake and you could be busted. [-X
