Welcome to TinBoats! The Bimini top is about the simplest. JMHO

I made a livewell from a plastic storeage box I got at the Dollar General store. I use a bilge pump to put in the water to pump water into the livewell. I bought a D-cell battery powered aerator at Walmart and hung it onto the side of the tub. I use the same bilge pump to pump the water out when...

What you have done so far looks great! I really like your camo job. Keep up the good work.

I haven't fished the scatter rap but have the x-rap and I fish it a lot. Get you a lure retriever of some type if you fish where there are a lot of places to hang up. As far as price for lures, go to www.jann'snetcraft.com and get crankbaits either already painted or paint them yourself for a...

I used to carry all the baits I own And I have a lot! But, over the years I found that I only used certain types of baits so these types are what I carry most and they have really lightened my load.

I used to put my soft plastic's in a bait box but some of them melted and messed up the box. I have since been storing them in the bags they come it. I got a tackle bag and took the boxes out and put the bags in. This way I know which brand bait I'm using and which color.

Looks like you are doing a really good job, keep up the good work and Welcome to Tin Boats!

That's a cool looking boat, I had a 1448 flat bottom Ouachita john boat. I really liked it. That 15hp motor mentioned would push it really good and you could get it going pretty good with a 9.9. It just depends on how much weight you'll be carrying. Good luck on your build! A Bimini top would be...

I had a deck on my 1448 and it was very stable. My son and I used it to bow fish out of and we both were on the front deck. Both of us are over 200+ pounds each!

I use a 6'6" MH spinning rod with 12# test mono most of the time either shakey head or Texas rigged finesse fishing. I use either a 6'6" or 7' MH bait casting rod and reel for Texas rig or Carolina rig fishing using 65# braid. When pitching to docks or cover I'll use a 6'MH rod with bait caster...

You've got a nice looking boat! It'll make a nice hunting, fishing, bow fishing boat. Are you going to leave the center seat out and make a more open floor space?

You are doing a good job! That's a clean looking boat you have! :D

Your flooring is looking good! I have permanent lights on my boats, I know I'd forget to check the batteries and they would corrode on me on the other type.LOL

That's a nice looking boat, welcome and good luck on your build.

Your build looks really good, I like it! :D
