There are small mouth on Lake Lewisville??? :o

Them fish are BEAUTIFUL.....especially the "backstraps" pretty as crappie meat just as tasty and a BUNCH more of it! :P Nothing is better than flathead filets except maybe a big flounder. Seriously though....anyone think I would be making a mistake putting a deck on top of the bow bench seat...

Sounds great. I have two duck decoy bags full of jugs ready to hit the water. I have not been able to go fishing since last summer. We moved to Italy right before school started and being a coach/teacher does not allow much fishing time during the school year. Suffice it to say that I have a...

Henry, I checked out your remodel on your link. Great job!! Since you are a Bardwell vet, do you know anything about the creek just south of 'Hachie? Does it feed Bardwell? We just moved here this past summer and I have not yet had a chance to check it out. How is the jug and crappie fishing...

I am/was worried about losing the middle bench, do you think it would be a problem structurally?

Objectives in order of priority: Deck in floor Rewire for electronics Deck rear bench / storage bins for battery & fuel tank Remove middle bench Add bow casting deck Install seats And finally,while this has nothing to do with my remodel, I hate to let an opportunity to gloat pass...

Great rig, awesome that it was such a blank slate to start with. What size motor are you going to mount? I will keep a close eye on this project since your boat is the same size as mine (Lowe Pro-15) and I am also starting to rebuild mine. Any updates?

Italy is ten minutes south of Waxahachie. :lol: Or halfway between Waco and Dallas.

I have had this rig for a couple of years. It is watertight (amazingly since some of the places i have had it would have torn the bottom out of a Nimitz carrier :lol: ) and nothing is wrong with it other than I want to make it "better".

What a great boat. The sky is the limit on this project. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your progress.

Is there a consensus on the best type of framework to use when building a deck? If aluminum is chosen are rivits the medium of choice to fasten the pieces together? I have never popped a rivit in my life, are there different types and if so what would be the best choice? Any particular size...

Sorry not to have any pictures, I will try to remedy that tonight. Step one for me was too looking up everything I could find on the internet. This led me to this site which is far and away the very best resrource I could find and second place is WAY behind. What should I do now? Should I...

I have been on big reservoirs but I try to stay in feeder creeks and out of the weather. Being in Texas the wind has been known to blow from time to time so I like to stay off the main body. There have been a couple of times where I got caught on the main lake in 25-30 knot winds and that is...

Just signed on today. I own a Lowe "Pro 15" with a 25hp Evinrude pretty much bare metal inside. I decided to start the renovation process and luckily found this site. Cannot believe the amount of information available. Looking forward to getting started and thanks in advance for the...
