Recently aquired a 2008 G3 Eagle 170. 90hp yamaha that runs. Brand new 65lb thrust minn kota. Trailer needs to be refurbished, exterior needs to be buffed out, and it needs seats and carpet. Overall pretty happy for $3700. Going to leave it the same color, just buff it out real good and wax it...
I have thought about that. Where I am there is no marsh or anything rought I have to take it the ought. Even up in the mountains it is all pretty decent size lakes. Maybe once in a while it will see the lower River down here but still will only be pulled through some shallow soft sand. And yes...
Due to weather I haven't done much on the boat other than pick up the metal and put it in the garage. 115 degree days are keeping me away from the aluminum work at the moment. Tear into it one night here pretty soon. i may order some wiring harnesses and a light bar off amazon so I can run the...
I would suggest a tracker grizzly 1648 and above. Would not go with a flat bottom with two kids and the wife or it may turn in to a swim day at the lake.
Here is the goal. Once foam pool noodles are laid for flotation and the aluminum is all laid and tacked in. I am going to Raptor line the entire inside of the boat. I am going to have a tint shop match a duck hunter green raptor liner to aluminum paint so the entire boat flows yet I have...
Here are pictures of the trailer project. Was pretty cut and dry. Nothing too bad as far as bends or rust. No hard bolts to undo. Actually the easiest trailer I've ever restored. Have to love a Yuma, AZ trailer. :D
So i recently acquired a 16 ft Bass Tracker 3 for $250. Boat and trailer completely stripped. Only plus side was two brand new tires and two brand new nav lights. The plan for this boat is to turn it into a tracker grizzly 1648 layout. Hoping to score a 25hp - 40hp tiller. I had other plans for...
I talked to a paint shop today and have the color picked out and should be ready to shoot once I get the boat off the trailer. He is going to sell me the tint able raptor liner and make it into duck hunter green, then match the same color for paint on the outside. Still in search of a motor...
Yeah I tried it on wood and it looked terrible. Now I am completely using aluminum in my boat and going to raptor line the whole interior. Going to have a paint shop tint the raptor liner, then have them mix the same color for paint on the outside of the boat that way everything matches but I...
Once again altering the plans just a little bit. Now the carpeted decks are going to be removable. Thinking of just putting pins in it so when I bass fish I can throw em in. Anyway. Frp is gone since it warped in the sun. And I ran into a deal on three sheets of aluminum. Everything is going to...
Nice lookin rig for $500. Check my build out. I only paid $250 but I didn't get a motor. I'm taking the hull of mine and making it into a utility type boat. Like the tracker grizzly. Good luck. Ask if you have any questions.
Decided to take the boat in an entire different direction. Since I am moving up to the mountains for college, and I already have a bass boat. This one is going to get painted Parker hunter green and be a tiller open floor plan. I'm going to leave the console out, leave the front deck carpeted...
