here's mine https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=23090

I had a weekend where I could work on it so I took the lower unit down and it was a mess, whoever put it back together last time didn't get the shaft seal in right and it was leaking bad. The motor looks very well built, it's all brass and stainless. But ofcourse the brass oil screws are all...

I couldn't get a video loaded on here so here it is....Maiden voyage.... https://s182.photobucket.com/albums/x99/John_Karen/The%20Boat/

Well it's done except for the trolling motor wiring and dang it floats!!!

"The plug has two wires, black and red. The motor has three wires, black, red and white. " This is just a guess but I would think if the motor is switchable between 12 and 24v, then if would make sense that the red is 12V the white is 12V and the black is common this way on the motor you can...

Thanks! and it is almost ready, I'm going to make a little movie of it's maiden voyage :)

Here's the pics of the deck under the console -- guess I'll never get it right to get them in the proper sequence

Well I decided to go with the carpet, the bedliner was just too much mess. Got the floor under the console done and the casting deck done. But I found out that my arms are not long enough to reach around to bolt it through. LOL I guess you can be a knuckle dragger and still not have enough arm :)

I found the resorcinol, this is the original formula that DAP had: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/wppages/cascophen.php I guess if I put airplane glue in a boat it will fly? :mrgreen:

Thanks!! I wish I had the time and money to just finish it in a weekend-- do you or anyone know where to buy resorcinol? I called DAP and it's been discontinued, I hate when they discontinue a great product

Finally got a good weekend to work on the boat, it's Mardi Gras here and I got to mount the trolling motor block, glued down with resourcinol. Installed the back deck support and cut out the rear floor. the rear of the deck is supported with two pieces of aluminum extrusion that I had leftover...

Well, it's friday night and I can't go fishing tomorrow so I'm researching....reading and reading. I had two options for the deck, old school Spar Varnish or Bed liner, and after I'm bleary eyed from reading and some advice from UtahBassKicker I think I've decided on the bedliner -- more pics...

thanks :) that was just a straightedge now I go to research wood sealers and figure out how to get that old carpet glue off without too much work :) ....

Finally got to do a little work on the boat -- I got the hatch in, got both battery boxes mounted and the control cables on the motor. Got the whole thing wired, console in and the first dry mount of the front deck. Now all I need is to seal it with something and bolt it down. I think I'm going...

Thanks will do!
