What size bolts did you use to mount the jack plate to the transom? I just ask because the bolts I have holding my 25 horse 4 stroke onto the transom look to be about twice the diameter. I just don't want to have your plate rip off due to the weight of the motor? Dave

ttt Come on all, not all of you fish alone! :D

First off, GREAT JOB! I've got a 1650 Xpress that is a similar build. Second, do you have jack plate on the motor? Or is it just mounted up high in the transom? Just curious, looks like she is riding higher which would be great for the skinny water. Third, Do you have Power T&T on the...

Looks like a fun project. I'd be extra careful with 4 in that small of a craft, especially with little ones that young. Now as far as the Chevelle goes, let's see some pics! I'm picturing black with red stripes for some reason???

I've been away too long! That thing is awesome! I'm reading from the beginning right now!

Here's my boy. I think this was his first trip out for the year! And then one of my wife out-fishing me!

Burn frogs a little bit but have better luck working the "BIG WORM" through them. I love the pads!

Here are some pics from last week after a storm rolled in. I'll call my animal the ABU monster! The first pic is my fav!

BUMP to the TOP How is this reel working for you? I need to get two replacements and don't have the budget to co high end right now.

2001 Silverado 55k miles

It seems almost like clockwork that you can follow the spawn of every species that the great state of Iowa has to offer. We start with Walleyes after ice out and the move through the ranks to crappies, bass, bluegills and catfish. Viewing records from previous years catches shows that this...

Over the weekend we worked on casting and reeling in a toy screwdriver from the boat while sitting in the garage. I can tell I'm going to have to revamp the boat a little this winter to make it more fisher friendly for him, and it give me an excuse to customize things a little more. :D...
