    Minn Kota Riptide

    Good deal! That ought to push that 10-footer around really well. You might consider turning the head around and mounting it on the bow. I've done that for years and it seems to work better that way. I picked up a 2-year-old Minn Kota Maxxum 55 transom mount a few weeks ago for $150. The guy...

    1448 fishing/duck boat project

    Good looking dogs. The one looks like he's pretty anxious to get this project done. Looks like a good project, too.

    Please help ID this boat

    Thanks for all the input and encouragement. However, after more consideration, I've decided to go the slower, safer route for the following reasons: (1) I want this boat fishable by March and I don't want to take the time to build a console; (2) I wanted to keep the layout as simple and wide...

    Please help ID this boat

    This followed me home today and I need some help identifying it. It seems to be an older 16’ aluminum v-hull. It doesn’t have an ID plate or any kind of manufacture’s name plates. The transom was rotted and removed so I’m sure the ID plate was tossed with it. It has a 5’6” beam and a 16” transom...

    Are fiberglass mods allowed??

    I hate to refer you to another site on my very first post on this site, but check out iboats.com. They have a lot of info on fiberglass boats in their boat modification section. I've been lurking here for awhile, and I think this site has the best and most information for aluminum boats, however.
