That's awesome job on the restoration, I will only give one piece of advice. I did the same kind of restoration on a Lone Star 14footer, and loved it fished out of it all over and had a great time with family and friends in it and like always you think you need to have more room bigger motor...

This is awesome build looking forward too seeing where this boat build goes, keep up the good work, do you have any more pictures?

Hey Jamie , I'm glad to here you still have the jet , It's been awhile since I was on the site , I actually sold my tin boat and bought a glass boat, now I'm regretting getting rid of the tin boat looking to purchase another and start over again, Do you happen to know how much your boat , motor...

Man that's an very nice paint job , I like it a lot.

Well that's really good information I thought that I need a junction boat already has a switch and wiring in the boat . Just need the unit .

Well thats where I'm at . I have found some of the old units used and some needs rebuilt . Most of the guys are in the $400 range . So to pick up a new unit for 500 to 600 didn't seem to bad as long as they work well and hold up to the motor abuse . And at the end of the day it's a real PITA ...

I have no tilt and trim on my 70hp Evinrude . Looking to either buy a usd OEM unit and wiring junction box or buy a CMC unit or something in the aftermarket .I really can't find a lot of information about being good or bad . Does anybody pass along some information about either of the units good...

I have found a CMC TNT unit that was used , for a fair price and I also found a factory TNT unit for just a little less , if I went to the CMC unit could I still use a jack plate with it ? or will it put the motor to far back ? From my understanding the CMC unit put the motor back about 4 to 6...

So would it be better , to find a factory TNT then add a jack plate or do you really don't get a lot of bang for your buck ,when using a jack plate . I see there is a few guys running them in Florida on the skinney water .

I have this 70 hp on Lowe 170 , It does not have tilt and trim , I've been kicking around the idea of putting either a jack plate , on my boat or add a CMC tilt and trim . What is the good and bad of each one . Is one better than the other if so why ? I 'm just asking too see if anybody could...

Thanks Jim , That will work .

Very Nice build , I had to do a double take on this , Wow . Great Job , I have a 2000 Lowe 170W . I think they are great all around boat . Good luck and good Fishing !

Hey that a nice boat !!!!! Mine looks just like that . About how fast does is your 70 hp Johnny ? As far as gas mileage goes I understand it's going to go south , that not a problem just getting to water that has little to no fishing pressure would be great . I also have a 9.9 that I run on...

Are they weld on or are they bolt on . I'm new , I really dont't know . How much lift does it give the back of the boat ?

I was told that a jet wouldn't run on lake because the water not getting forced into the jet opening . Like to get started I know once your moving it shouldn't make a differnce river or lake . So thanks for the reply .
