    How deep should my trolling motor prop be?

    Howdy, New to the jon boat game. I have a 1436 Grumman jon boat. Just bought a 55# Newport Vessels trolling motor that will be stern mounted. How deep should the prop be for maximum efficiency? Any advice is appreciated. THANKS!! Lakedawgs

    What is this below the transom on my jon boat?

    Cleaning up my new to me 1987 Grumman 1437 jon boat. Can someone tell me what the divider and 2 small standoffs at the back of the boat are for? THANKS Lakadawgs

    AlumaCraft 'Gadabout' boat - looking for info

    I noticed in one of the pics what might be a nameplate of some sort. Would it make sense that this would be a HIN# nameplate here? Sorry for the crappy pic, way zoomed in. THANKS Lakedawgs

    AlumaCraft 'Gadabout' boat - looking for info

    Got this thing uncovered and out of the shed at our friend's house. Seems to be in really good shape. Needs tires, and some clean up. I will pull the motor and put in a barrel and work on tuning it up. Boat, trailer, 25hp Evinrude and Minn Kota trolling motor....$500. Not a bad deal I'm...

    Hopefully, in the next 2-3 wks I will help the owner clean 20 years of household crap off this thing and see what we have to work with. It might be a while but I will post more. THANKS Lakedawgs

    THanks much for the pic. I have a line on one with a 25hp Evinrude for $500. Has always been barn kept. Is currently covered in household stuff. Hoping in the next couple of weeks to actually see this thing, get HIN# and evaluate what condition this thing is in. Thanks again! Lakedawgs
